Front rail is tenon and mortise on both ends
Side rails – fronts tenon and mortise. backs are doweled
Back rail – dowels on both ends
Basically I put it back together with the joinery that was used originally – theres enough room to pin the tenons from the inside – I may do that yet
Using laquer thinner and an x-acto knife to scrape, the carvings cleaned up nicely

Yesterday was light in terms of new information presented, but was a very important day. We finally selected the plans for our projects from a selection of four very nice clock designs. My choice …a Shaker style. I decided to go with the Shaker style clock for two reasons. I wanted something without a lot of detail that will allow me to focus more on the process, and for the simple fact that I like furniture with clean lines.
Besides selecting our project plans we covered in detail h...

Here’s the glued up head board. The foot board looks the same, just shorter. The slats are cherry.
Each slat is dominoed to the rails. This is another deviation from the plans. They called for a dado in the rails, slats slipped in the dado, and spacers to fill the gap. But, I’m using the Domino for all joints, so I changed it up. But to accommodate for the tenons thickness, I had to increase the slats thickness and the rails as well.
They’ve been glued up for...

Here is a dry fit of the legs.
It is a deviation from the plans, which called for laminating 2 boards together. But it would leave an unsightly glue line. However, I did learn, later, of another method that would not be so bad.
I mocked up with some scraps a mitered approach, but it was tricky and never really closed up. I thought of doing a lock miter joint, but just didn’t want to invest in a bit that I’ve heard has a finicky setup.
This method only involves ...

This is my very first project I’m attempting. I’ve been studying (books, DVDs, TV shows) the craft for a few years now while I built up my repertoire of tools. So that means almost every tool and technique I attempt, is really for the first time. The only other experience I have is with house remodeling.
So far, everything is going well and I am actually nearing the end.
It’s based on Rockler’s plans, with a few modifications which I’ll point out in the ...

It happened multiple times in past… and probably to you as well, at least once. You spent 15 minutes typing long and meaningful blog entry only to lose it. Right before hitting Submit button your browser crashed or you lost internet connection or something else happened. I’m sure you didn’t want to type it again. It’s frustrating and demotivating.
No need to be nervous anymore.
I’ve integrated autosave feature into the most important forms on the site ̵...

This was requested from multiple sites, so I did one for everybody.
Here’s some photos of my process;I only had enough time to do a two-ring knot, but it’sall the same to make a four-ring knot accurately if you follow these steps.
This shows the miter sled, the length of contrasting wood for the slices, and the bloodwood blank I’m going to use.
I’ve already squared the blank so that all four sides are the same size.I randomly pick a side and mark it 1.Side 2 i...
