I have lots of furniture projects queued up but, I won’t start those until the table is finished and out. I’m always up for a challenge so, I’ve come up with something interesting…take a look at my latest post and let me know what you think.  Hand Tools doings #3: My first dovetails - warning - kind of uglyWell it’s taken several attempts but here is my first set of dovetails. I realize that it’s only two tails and one pin—- but a girl has to start somewhere. The first pic is after the cutting. Not so good. This second photo is after a little paring. Actually a little to much. But hey it fits. Sorta, kind of…. Frank Klaus has nothing to worry about with me. But I’ll catch him yet. Just wait and see. :-)  Printer Table #1 (Basic Construction)Hey Everybody In this episode of the Teenage Woodworker I go over some basic cabinet construction in the first part of a three part series where i make a printer table. There are a lot of technical things that i go over but try to stay with me for the whole episode. As always since i am only using a digital camera to film the sound is a little bad. so try to bear with me it helps to turn up the sound and sit a little bit away from the computer. this improves the sound a little bit. ...  Operation Holtzapffel #4: Time for a trip to the sharpenerSo this afternoon I tried to shimmy my blades around a bit so that the notches in my jointer blades would offset one another. Here is a pic of the knives in question. Well the results were less than satisfactory (this was taken in raking sunlight) So I’m going to head to Standard Saw Works in Oakland to get them sharpened on Monday. I’ve heard people asking for their jointer blades to be back beveled, can any LJers shed a little light on this?  Legacy MillThank you to all of you for your kind welcomes to this page I am from down under yes Australia, I am new to woodwork and of coarse I am strictly ammeter hobbyist so far as I have a great deal to learn yet. I have a back ground in engineering so this helps to bridge the gap a little. I have just bought a legacy mill and am having great fun so far with it and I already have had help from a member on here thank you to him. I would like to buy the legacy design kit but it is too expensive for me...  Member for 365 DaysLogged in today and realized it was one year since I joined the site. I wanted to thank Martin and all of the great people I have met here for this wonderful community. I’ve been very busy with work and life these days and do not have as much time as I would like to contribute any more. But I still enjoy coming by to see what everyone is up to. Thanks again.  17th Century Jacobean Oak paneled room #5: Farther down the wallBelow the coffered panels are the skirt panels. These were in better shape than the coffered panels and had a “rope” mould along the top edge. The rope mould was mostly new construction, ( poorly done ) and was replaced with new mould that I ran and distressed. It started to look like this was at least the second installation of these panels because some of them were cobbled together and mis-matched. It became easy to find where they originally belonged, because their length match...  How I first used my bandsaw... or The Ghost Hunting Grizz WhizYou’ll be happy to know I used my 17 inch Grizzly Extreme Bandsaw for the first time yesterday…just to saw some sections of 2×6 into squares for plates upon which to mount casters. Nothing fancy. It was electrified in October and I hadn’t used it yet. Now I have. I know, nice saw and he doesn’t use it? Well, things happen slowly here. I read once where lots of woodworkers use their bandsaws almost all the time. I can see why. Small kerf, smooth cuts. I ...  Baby CradleI’ve gotten pretty far along here in constructing this baby cradle but not as far along as the mother has! The baby was delivered on the 29th of February-a Leap year baby! I thought I had until the 14th of March to complete this but-now I’m behind!When I decided to start this project, I had an idea but no plans and decided it would just have to be built from the bedding sizes available from a store selling mattresses for cradles.
