 Shop Update #4: Living Room Side Tables / WWIICurrently I’ve been working on my wife’s side tables for the living for over 2 months now, things have popped up and i’ve been traveling for work as of late, so it’s been a slow process and now the HEATS coming! :( Below is a quick update where i’m currently at in the project and how I’ve used my Festool Domino XL to build the side tables. At the end, I briefly talk about my new TS blade – the WWII. WOW…........... I’m SOOOO disappointe...  Shop Vacumn Cart #4: Day 4 - FinalAfter not getting to work at all Saturday in the shop because of family commitments, I got to work on my project most of the afternoon today. I wasn’t feeling to spunky after not getting back home till almost midnight last night. That was two hours after my normal bedtime. I trudged along and manged to complete the project and declared Victory at about 7:30 pm. I added an additional modification at the last moment for three more attachment storage holes and then decided to use a tub...  Mission Style Pedestal Table #4: Completing the top, putting it all togetherI made a lot of progress this past week. After getting the top together and cut to shape, I fitted it onto the sliders, and attached the tabletop levelers, to see how that would work, and to take a look at it all with the leaf pieces in place… success! The table sliders worked smoothly, and the top looks great all together. I then spent some quality time with the smoothing plane, raking light, and card scraper to get the top in final shape… some tearou...  Curly Cherry Bed starting to come togetherMaking this bed of cherry, worked on it for 3 days so far. Hope to finish in a couple more days so we can get to finishing. Will post in projects when completed.  Louver Door Repair #2: Scrap wood and FeatherboardsI save just about all of my scrap. It comes in handy for jigs, blocks, shims, whatever. It’s also my city firewood. Each year in Chicago, smelt fishing season runs during the month of April. It’s an annual tradition for our family to throw some nets into Lake Michigan and wait for the little fish to swim into them. As you can imagine, this is a tough way to fish, so we bring a year of scrap lumber, have a fire, grill some sausages, drik some cocktails, and have a marvolou... Louver Door Repair #1: Side JobI have a side job as a handyman and one my clients is this fine woman (not as fine as my wife, of course) who lives way on the north side of the city. She owns this condo and rents it out. Occassionally, she has me fix a door or window or switch. It’s a pretty easy gig, a rarely deal with her, and she always pays a fair wage on time. The problem is that since she pays me, she expects me to jump through hoops, which I find annoying until I remember I expect the same from those I ...  A new begining #1: Step 1 - relocationWe moved into our new (much nicer) place and I have a new (and much nicer) garage for all my tools. You never know how much stuff you have until you have to pack it all. I’ve got some really heavy tools. Although many have mobile bases, dealing with ramps to the back of trucks is no fun. I decided to go with a POD. Here it is in the new driveway The loading height is just about ground level. Also you have it for a month, so there is no rush to load and unload. If you’ve nev...
