Hi guys ,, I had a request to make a tutorial with regards the endgrain Tumbling Block Design.First off,.., You need to decide the size of the blocks…. for this example I used 1” stock… Or something similar.. actually just over .. once dressed.
Set the blade of the table saw to 60 degrees.. a bevel box makes this simpleI use the INCRA fence system so it is easy to rip bevels off side of the blade.Once the bevels are ripped measure the length of the bevel and move the f...

The quick and dirty instructions on how to make a zig-zag pattern cutting board.
Click on the pictures to see a full size image.
Choose a couple different types of hardwood. The more colors the better. Below is cherry, maple and walnut. Rip strips of wood any width so the total with is about 12”. This is the width that will fit through my planer. The beauty of this is that none of the widths have to be the same. The board shown below is made of scrape wood. If you only have shor...

Hey everybody, after a few personal messages here is my version of a how to on a Drunken Checker Board. I of coarse bow to the Chairman of the Board and pay tribute with beer. This is a Off-Checker pattern I call “Drunken Alice in Wonderland” The “serendipitous” nature of this piece is appealing in a far out sort of way. Here Goes…
So first I prepare the Material. I am using Hard Maple and Walnut both are surfaced flat and cut 1” x 9” x 14&...

Well, I was asked to put together a blog on how I made my segmentd ring. Since I had to make a new one for myself, (first one too small) I thought I would go ahead and do a step by step picture tutorial. My first time ever doing something like this , so hope it comes out OK.
Here goes;
Wood Selection
The first step in making the ring is deciding what woods to use. As we all know, the selection is quite large. One of the most important things is color, but the most important is hardne...

Awhile back Wood Magazine had an article on building a mobile outfeed table that would fit over your table saw. Since I need all the space in my garage I can get, I went ahead and built one that would fit over my table saw to give me some much needed work space and a handy outfeed table.
I thought this was pretty spiffy and a great use of space. As I always do I look at the latest project posts on Lumberjocks looking for inspiration for my next project. Whilst browsing I came ac...

Now that everyone has their wood selected,lets get started.
Note. There will not be your typical cut list of material sizes when making this box.We will cut the box body and a dado for the bottom.The size of the bottom will be measured off of that.
We will then route out for the lid and its size will be determined from that.
Lastly, we will route the recess for the medallion and we will get our final measurement from that.
Note:Depending on your skill level and how clear my instru...

Hello Fellow Lumberjocks! Welcome to my very first attempt at a blog.
Let me open this discussion by letting you know that I am a self taught carpenter, with a humble collection of tools and a humble little workshop. I truly enjoy the Lumberjock community because we are all made to feel as an equal participant of the group, regardless of our individual skill levels.
An important part of my growth in the wood art is to work hard at improving my skills and learn valuable new techniques ...

We now have our box body assembled and glued up.Take off the tape and clean off any dried glue.This is a good time to smooth up the bottom to get rid of any rocking.You can double stick sandpaper onto a very flat and firm surface and slide the bottom across that.The problem with this approach is that sheet sandpaper is way too small.You can stick down several sheets and if you go very slow you may not tear the paper.
Tip:I designed this sanding platform for leveling boxes and flushing out ...

Let the fun begin!
I know everyone is hoping I will just shut up and just get down to the cutting and sanding :)
BUT…..This is very important to those of you who are trying to imitate my process from beginning to end.Many of you have admitted that you have never built a box before and would like to know how to select a winning combination.So,the first bit of business is to select the wood you will be using.This decision will be based on A) what you find appealing.This is totally s...

This video features a new crosscut sled built for my shop. Inspiration for this sled came form books in my library and countless Internet searches. This is a simple project for the shop that will increase safety, speed and accuracy of crosscuts on the table saw. Construction is simple with a MDF base, maple fences, Incra Miter Bars and T-Track. The plan file is available for download.
Hopefully this will inspire a sled for your shop!
