I have been asked by a couple of people how I add pictures into my blogs so I thought that I would make a little blog on how I do it. This is what works for me and not the only way to do it.
First you have to have your pictures in your computer. You can download then from your camera or scan them with a scanner or whatever method you want.
I like to resize the pictures in advance. The maximum width picture that you can display in a blog is 640. I don’t know what the limit for the ...

First of all you have to determine what shape you will need that you can make accurately and repeatedly. This is where my jigs come in. I was to poor to buy several miter gauges so I made mine out of angle iron and bar stock. I made them set close to a certain angle, adjustable just a little. This first picture shows the back side of one of my jigs on the saw. This one is set at 45° like 4 of my jigs are;
(Now on any of these pictures if you want to see something closer just click on t...

So in the first of this series I mentioned i,m starting an enterprise with no money, hardware store hand tools and a sheet of 3/4 in plywood. This is what happened to the plywood. Now like many on this site i,ve long dreamed of building my ultimate workbench and I must tell you in advance that this is not it! This is my answer to that chicken and egg argument about needing to build a bench so that you can then build a bench. Its taken directly from Shopnotes and haveing seen numerous 1 sheet ...

The panels for these doors will be four boards wide. They were milled at the same time the styles were using the same radius jigs. the panels will end up 3/4 thick, the parts were milled a strong 1/32 over that thickness to allow for sanding. A tray was used once again to cut the angle on all the parts on the table saw.
After the angle is cut on both both sides the parts are biscuted a to help in the gluing process. Make sure you keep them back far enough so they do not come out in the pro...

Now I feel like David Marks with all the templates, but it was the only way I could think of that was fool proof. By fool proof I mean that you can’t wander with the router and cut off what you didn’t want to.
I needed to make three paper patterns. One for each of the cuts I will be making. Here are two of them taped to the template before cutting.......These were made from the corners of MDF like the one for the outside. I had to leave more material on the outside edge so that...
