Hey everyone,
Well it was just about a year ago that I started on this project, eventually I entered it in the Winter lumberjocks contest, some may remember it,it even got a few votes. While I was constructing the workbench I was shooting video and have about nine hours of video. This is the first of a series of nine.I also have a website That I will be posting future episodes to, as well as here at lumberjocks. Prior to starting the bench I checked out the www. to see what kind of videos...

I was going to cover over this window, I decided some extra natural light would be nice.
Thanks again to Barb on taking most of these pictures.

My garage has only a 7’ ceiling, so I pulled out the rafters, & added 2 X 4s with 9” plywood gussets to
accommodate 9” R-30 insulation. I did this in my existing shop about 18 years ago.
Doing this took out about 2” of sag in the old rafters.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had a small bubble type skylight leftover from the other shop that I hadn’t used, so I installed it in
this ceiling. For such a small opening, 14 1/...

Well, I don’t actually miss it. I have to wheel it out of the way every time I want to get to my workbench but I do miss working on fixing it up.
It has been 16 days since I last posted anything about it and then it was just a video saying I hadn’t been able to work on it in 8 days.
That’s like over 3 weeks of no progress.. WTF?
I have been very busy doing home improvement type projects (Honey Do list stuff mostly).
On a positive note, I did get the paint from De...

Hi, I finally took some pics of my progress. What can I say…........I am slow, but I am hoping by Wednesday to get all of my bottom cabinets done enough to get them secured to the wall and get my countertops ordered. I still have 3 more cabinets to make. I have a raised panel that goes on the side of the refridgerator with a cabinet over top, and then I have 2 cabinets that I cannot install untill my counter top goes in, they fit on each side of the stove and the cabinets fit down on...

Like most new planes, heck, what am I saying, like most planes, period, new or new to you, my Groz #4 was in need of a tuning. First things first check the sole for flatness… Heel to toe dead flat. This is a good sign, Side to side it is concave, at 120 grit I get scratches all the way accross, but moving up the grits the ones in the very center don’t even hardly come out. Time to work this plane on the sharpening board.
Now I am pretty sure this isn’t the RIGHT way to do...

I’ve been way to crowded in my shop, especially since I went from a radial arm saw to a table saw.
A radial arm saw works fine in a narrow shop, because it’s against the wall
Plus adding a thickness planer.
I haven’t use the automobile side of my garage for years now.
About all its been used for is to accumulate things.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a rough sketch of my floor plan. I plan to keep the partition down the cent...

I’m already a bit into this project and I’ll be nibbling at it for several months. Here’s a recap of what’s happened so far:This is what it will ultimately look like. We’re not particularly big wine drinkers, so a small bay will just about hold our entire stock of booze. I haven’t decided what to do with the doors, but this got me far enough for a cut list on the carcase and veneers. The point of this project is a.) to showcase some Pangapanga that the ...

So after the tip from Jack regarding Kerkythea I decided to download it and play around. I found some amazing wood textures at Arroway Textures of different wood species(they have a sample available for each species for non-commercial use) and started applying them to the model… below are some shots of the results. If you click on the exploded view it will open a large version rendered at the highest available pixel setting in Kerkythea. There are a few spots where the texture is app...
