Still at it..
Unfortunately I havent had much time to put into it over the past little while, but I’ve now planed and glued up the third of 4 sections of the top, and squared up the first 2 sections on the jointer ready to glue together. Found that I lost too much meat out of the width of the top and had to add in two extra boards to get back up over 20 inches wide…
Think i’ve decided on the wagon vice.. I just love the way they look and function and I think it’l...

Woodworking Joinery is the one thing we as woodworkers need to know and this video talks about 4 common woodworking joints that you are most likely to use in your projects.
In this video you will learn about the following joints

An update re: progress if it can be called that? The first picture is a somewhat organized chaos! I realized that I was in Hazzard County as my benches and the floor were filled with materials, tools and garbage. I decided that after the electric box was approved to go out and work on that “piece of ash.” But I was unable to move.
The second picture is a slight evolution of progress? I actually put in about three of my shop DAZE getting materials and tools put on the f...

While i’ve been progressing quite well with the top, i’ve been fighting myself on vice options. Unfortunately, I need to figure out what kind of end vice i’m going to go with before I finish gluing up the top so I don’t limit my options.
I’ve glued up the back half of the top so far, and I really need to figure out the end/tail vice before i really go any further.
Ive been fighting back and forth between two options:
1. Using something like a face vice o...

While I know that everyone says you should only really mill as much wood as you can work with in a day, the reality of it is that the wood I bought for the bench is taking up my entire garage, so, while I have cut the wood for the top down to size, before I can really get much further on it, I needed to cut the material for the legs down to size, then move the rest that I wont need for this project to the storage shed.
In my last post, I mentioned my rip sled and some of the comments (I be...

:O) I am a bit excited. I finally have a set of GRR-Rippers in the shop. I have been wanting one for a long time. So I put together this video to show you just a couple reasons why I am pumped up about these helpful shop accessories. Not only are they keeping me safe, but they are allowing me the opportunity to perform tasks I couldn’t perform before… That in itself has got me doing backflips… lol Here is a look at the video

I have dismantled the hole machine and started rebuilding. First I painted the frame in a white color with blue doors
My son started changing the electric system. When i bought the machine it was a 380 Volt, 3 phase machine. al the three motors are 3 KW. Problem I don,t have 3 phase at home. Only single phase. Therefore i had to use a converter.
Before changing this was the situation:

Substantially different i think.

Quartersawn oak blanks are cut to 14” long and 1 5/8” thick. The upper crest rails are 3” wide and the lower rails are 2 ½” wide. I chose to construct the chair with floating tenons so that I could mill and cut all of the rails to the exact same length. A bench-top mortising machine is used to make the mortises for the upper and lower crest rails. The 3/8” chisel is set exactly parallel to the machine’s fence, then an auxiliary fence is installed and shimmed to the proper angle required. Sto...
