Hello Mark,

Let me welcome you to LJs. I hope that you will find this to be an interesting and exciting part of your woodworking adventure.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Welcome to LJ. You will like it here.

Glad to see that you have made Lumberjocks a part of your Woodworking experience… Welcome

Welcome…look forward to a great place to learn…and share…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

I glue the through tenons. Wood movement affects the tops more than the base, but I leave my mortises just a little over just in case. The walnut beauty stretchers are not glued. If you go to my projects, you will see many slats going one way or another. None of these are glued. Captured in the framework, where would they go? It lets the wood move on its own and hopefully lends a long life to my furniture. I joined Lumberjocks not too long ago and it was a great move to a great woodworking community. I have not set up a blog and don’t know if I will, spending too much time online keeps me away from my shop, but send me a message to my homepage for any info or etc.

Cool, thanks for answering my questions. I thought the outer frames would lock in the interior pieces. Checked out some of your other work…very nice.

Welcome to LumberJocks. Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

God Bless

Thanks, the skeletons were a project I am getting ready for halloween. I cut the parts out on the scroll saw and use elastics to attach them together so the make sound in the wind. I have them hanging to make sure the elastics are going to hold up.

Thanks for the sugestion, but there isnt much dust in the shop…jet central vac…jet sealing mounted air scruber…home made down draft sanding table. These were all required by my wife. My shop is in the lower level of our home & the furnace is located. But there is hope in another six weeks mother nature will start builbing us another raft!
