Thanks for the warm welcome.

Hello all, Thanks for the welcome and I hope to post here often (now that I’ve figured out how to add to this blog thing). I’m currently trying to build a router table. I drew it up in Sketchup (I really like that tool as well), it is like building a rough draft on the computer. I’ve used and taught AutoCAD but man can you crank out a drawing quickly with this. I’ve bought a Benchdog plate and drilled my holes according to the Triton template (the PC2s) and th...

Random Ramblings of Recent Wood-Related Adventures #2: Various Projects

217 days ago by Blake | 13 comments »

Hello again, another random rambling. I just thought I’d keep you updated on what’s going on lately in my shop. So you may have known from my thickness sander blog, that I have been agonizing about whether or which sander to buy for many months now. Well, Yorkshire Stewart finally pushed me back over the edge to make my own from his blog (Thanks again!). This was the design that finally got me excited about making my own: It’s small and compact and just what I needed. So, I order...

Today at lunch, my wife informed me that she would LIKE my shop to be moved out of our garage and into the barn at our cabin, 116 miles away from our house. Given that I have to live in town for my teenage boys to attend high school and me to conduct work, this puts somewhat of a damper on my future woodworking.

Rambling #1: Well here I go and (now updated with) the lesson I learned

241 days ago by MtnManMEP | 14 comments »

I think I have all the preliminaries taken care of. Got the profile done, the email preferences set, a couple of projects listed and now I’m in and ready to start being humbled. Seriously, there are a bunch of outstanding looking projects here. I’m confident I can gain knowledge and ideas from this site. I look forward to future exchanges and comments. Update: OK, since I got some grief for no photo, even though I wasn’t touting a project or some other accomplishment...

Off on a tangent...again

484 days ago by dennis mitchell | 9 comments »

It has been awhile. Nothing very artistic coming out of my shop the past few months. Just grinding away at different cabinet jobs. I did get 300 bd. feet of knotty maple I’m dying to cut up, but I’ll just have to wait. Training an employee has been a rush. I’ve really been looking closely at the traditional rolls we take on when we become bosses. I really believe we create our own cultures where we work. They might say quality and really believe it but in lots of places t...
