Along with a passion for making my own tiles, I also have built up a collection of eBay studio tile finds myself. I’ve had this tile, waiting for a frame idea , many years. It has a southwestern feel. The trees are simple, but well done.,,,,
My shop has been invaded!!! Mike Gager posted a blog about an invasion of brown recluse spiders in his shop. I have another “invasion” of sorts that has occurred in my shop. Most of us tend to be somewhat solitary woodworkers and work alone in our shop. This has always been my situation as well. However last week this is what was going on in my shop: This is my son Jonathan using a jointer for the first time. Jon and his wife “commissioned” me to build...
Hey Gang, I made this planer knife sharpening jig a while back, but recently modified it to make it cooler! :^)I added a wheel and a better bevel angle adjuster. Let me know what you think. It’s good for general sharpening, but if your blade has large nicks, I’d suggest using a different method. CheersBrian
Just wanted to let everyone know, we had a great time at the LJ Arizona picnic today. Thank you everyone for comeing out and spending time with us. It sure was nice to ba able to put a face with the names. Had a lot of fun and food. BarBQued burgers and dogs, had lots of other food including, a Pumpkin Pie and cookies that the store owner, Mr Keith Stephens, brought out when he stoped by. Well, I did not get all the pics, so someone else will have to fill in the holes. First off here...

I finished assembling the bandsaw today and ran into an issue that I could only laugh out loud at, just to funny. I couldn’t wait for my friend to show up this morning to help, so I lifted the bandsaw onto the base cabinet and mobile base, then stood back to view my new toy. Hey wait a minute, that looks tall, wait…uhmmm, that looks very tall….is it going to fit thru the garage doors!!?? DOH nooooooo!!!! My heart sank, I quickly grabbed the tape measure (hmmmm why didn...
OK so the day wen well. I found the directions for the Blumotion drawer slides, despite the blue can fairy’s.I thought i would post the results. This is a video but it is the first time I have tried to post one so maybe it will work. I guess not but anyway the drawer closes just like the video on the rockler website.and here are some close ups of the dovetails. They need some work, i need to use backer boards to prevent tear-out but the fit was very nice.
I started planning this about a month ago, including starting to mill the wood. I kind of goofed though, and cut the rails too short, as well as making the bottom rails too narrow (I wasn’t sure if on a face frame you kept that rail the same thickness or not, turns out you do). After that, I got kind of busy with life. As I’ve mentioned before, my wife is in nursing school, and she was accepted to go on a humanitarian trip to Brazil to do volunteer public health work. So, need...
A couple of years ago I built a table and chair set for a friend’s two little girls. Well since then they had a little boy and the “Lil Guy” needs a chair. I poked around the shop to try and find the drawings for the set so that I could get some measurements. I found something that looked like kids chairs so off I went. The previous set of chairs had a straight back, but this set I wanted a little rake. So I made this template from some packaged pine I planed down some scrap spr...
I am documenting the following only because I noted posts on the net requesting info on how to get the arbor nut off the Delta Contractors Saw. I am sure there are other ways to do this, but this was simple and worked. I am slowly upgrading my old Delta Contractors Saw. So I bought the In-Line machined pulleys and the Power Twist Plus 1/2” V-belt 4 foot package. In-Line could not supply the belt, so I bought it separately. It takes 3 & 1/2 feet (42”) of belt. I wondered ...
