starting the pigeon loft project. I have several pages of instructions printed out. I have had all the hardware for some time. I bought the lumber this week. I plan to paint each piece sides and ends so that it is weatherproof. I went out this evening to scope out a location. I had thought I wanted it next to the barn, but decided against that because I don’t want pigeons hanging out on the roof of the barn, so into the back yard it goes. The first step is to lay out foundation blocks i...

well i had some really good shop time today and got alot done. a lot of pictures so i will try to keep text to a minimum. as always first i started off cutting the board to manageable pieces. then milled them 1/8” heavy and let them do their moving and took them down to final size when i needed them.
then i needed to glue up the panel for the top and here i am doing a dry glue up to get everything ready. after the glue up was done and the glue dried i took the panel out. flus...

At the risk of being seen as slacking off I humbly submit my most recent efforts.“The Boss’ as she has become known let me know that the shop would be best served with a faux frontage to drop the visual height of the building . To do this I hand cut and milled some 45 lengths of 3/4”cedar fencing into cedar siding, cut and fitted same, marked the lengths with a snap line and painstakingly cut each in the form of semicircle.
Next painted and reinstalled each and every boar...

Hello all,
Jenn is off at a scrapbooking crop and I was hoping to finish off Paul’s table but I have come across a question. We want to put green felt down on the play surface and I have not idea how to precisely lay it down. I bought spray adhesive to glue it down with but beyond that I am not really sure how to put it down so it looks good and doesn’t roll up at the edges. If any one has advice on measuring, gluing felt down I’d sure appreciate the assist.

Well I got the trim to fit (‘shortening’ the table worked) and now my daughter and I are priming it in anticipation of painting later today. Five year olds can do a surprisingly good job painting! Pictures and more later!

MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) allows you to play old arcade games on your PC. While playing them with a keyboard and mouse is OK, to really get the experience you need an arcade cabinet. I could spend some time on just the PC setup, but I’m going to just concentrate on the cabinet construction here. I built this back in 2003 over the course of a week.
If you’re interested in more info on MAME and where to get needed hardware you can check the project page here:

I started this project because I needed something to keep me busy until I decided on my next big project. I got the initial idea of doing a serving tray from the summer contest, not because I thought I could win but because it would give me something to do and also allow me to challenge myself.
The bottom is a glued up panel of soft maple with a 1/8” walnut inlay of walnut. I cut the inlay out using the router with a 1/8” bit held free hand cutting close to the line and then c...

It’s been a while since I last updated the blog, but I ran out of time to sort out & upload the photos.Those of you who saw my last blog, will know that the ground gets a ‘little’ wet during bad weather.After the foundation went down, it was time to start on the base, because of the constant risk of flooding, I went for a raised base. A good dollop of muck, 18 concrete blocks and 5 6×3 later and I had at last started. It was beginning to feel ‘real’. Up till then i...

Been a long time since my last entry over here. I’ve been busy with various things, including digging in an irrigation system with pop-up sprinklers, with a jack hammer.
At any rate, we recently got a Porter Cable 7518 3¼HP router with Jessem Mast-R-Lift lift to swing some of the big bits we’ve been accumulating for the shapes we want for our kitchen cabinets, and before going out of town this weekend I built a second mock-up of what we want our kitchen cabinets to loo...
