If you ever have been irked by small problems with your projects read this!
I really feel sorry for this poor chap. He has scroll sawn a 40,000 piece jigsaw puzzle to celebrate Queen Elisabeth’s Diamond Jubilee in England. It makes my own little project problems seem inconsequential in comparison. You can scroll down to see the video too if you want to see some incredible scroll sawing skills. He has a scroll saw just like mine except a different color. I am now thinking of returning mine after seeing what he is capable of doing with it. http://www.daily...
Jet cabinet saw re-hab #26: Calling it done (for now)
Put on a Freud Fusion blade and aligned the saw. Put the rule on the fence. Saw is cutting very smoothly.
More Preparation....
Hi FolksSpent some time organising the timber for the table project. I put all the parts through the thicknesser to a final thickness of 48mm. Then I could start choosing what goes where…. Arranging the grain pattern was a lot of fun, it’s amazing how you can make or break a piece by just flipping a couple of parts about. And trying to “hide” the ugly pieces and show off the finest ones to the best advantage – a few minutes spent now is well worth it when you ...
Thorsen Table Challenge #2: Take a Little Peek.
I took a couple of days off, but it helped me come up with some fresh ideas. I went out to my shop this afternoon, & made a couple of Templates, one for the aprons, & one for the stretchers. Now I’m all set to make parts on the router table

New oak treads, risers, double rails with 24 spindles on each side and open (that’s right open) beneath! No kneewall, or partial boxing in to allow myself to run the spindles down to a diagonal piece… just drywall to box in the existing supports…. but I digress. So while I was searching for that book…. I’ve been hankering for a new drill, rather an...

More finishing woes...I hope this clears up....
Well, I said yesterday how I hated finishing. Well, I got up this morning, made up a batch of wipe-on polyurethane and wiped it onto the shelf sides and the fixed shelves. Well, here it is 12 hours later and I have spots of polyurethane that are not drying. Here is the situation: Thursday afternoon and evening I applied the stain to the sides and the fixes shelves. I was going to wait till tomorrow or Monday to start the polyurethane, but I got in a hurry. This morning polyurethane ...
Traveling
Good morning all, from the far side of the world. I’m completing two weeks’ vacation near Kaiserslautern in Germany, visiting my daughter’s family (grandaughters 6 and4). I’ve been to Heildelberg, Neushcwanstein and a three-country tour through corners of Switzerland, Austria and Leichtenstein. I apologize for any misspellings.This has been the trip of a lifetime for me, which will make it doubly hard to return to work next week at my tour bus company! The woodcarvi...
