well here is the second to last entry in my pull out trash box series. this will cover the rest of the construction and the next entry will cover the finished project. so lets jump right in. i left off with the rest of the thing prefinished and showing the drawer in it. just milled up the drawer front. and finished and attached it. simple enough. the drawer bottom isn’t in yet and you might notice that the color is a bit different. thats because the gel poly isn’t on yet.

I just built this router table out of Oak plywood, Oak trim, and a Pine drawer. It’s from a plan in Woodsmith This project appeared in Woodsmith Magazine No. 131, Vol. 22 / No.8 I’ve added the link to the plan below. The drawer has full slide hardware. I guess the fun part is building a router table without a router table ;-) . I’ve used it quite a bit so far and really like it.

Finally finished up the first two:
And just in time as it seems our friends are all having babies at once.
So I’m trying some others and practicing on the lathe. The two dumbbell shaped ones below are similar to the above two. Still need to be sanded and finished. I read about painting / staining with food coloring so I think I will try that with the lighter one.
I also bought some walnut and birch dowels, cut them and hollowed them out with the router. I then filled th...

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...

Aginst my better judgment, someone convinced me to set up at a local festival-craft show.The last couple of weeks we have been working hard getting ready for the show at Riverfest at Leavenworth. I was thinking that after the show we would be able to slow down and mellow out a little but, I think not. I got so many orders for signs that the next few weeks will be a bit hectic again. Well not “so many” orders, I think it was 10 or 11 but some of them want more then one sign. I ...

I’ll be covering the construction of two different kinds of curved doors. A pair of raised panel doors with one inch thick styles and rails and a 3/4 thick panel. With an outside radius of 20” and an inside radius of 19”. The second is a single six divided light glass door. Its style and rails are also 1” thick, its outside radius is 12 1/4” and the inside 11 1/4”.
Lets start with making the jigs to mill the radius styles for each set of doors. The star...

Sunday evening and it’s time to blog about the weekend in the shop.
First on the agenda was to move the big tools around to make room to make a 54” by 144” table top in a two-car garage.
Went to the blue box store and picked up a couple of 2×6 x 12’s and three sheets of 5/8 particleboard.
I extended my workbench to be 4 foot by 12 foot. Works great!
I took all of the 1×12’s out of the dinning room and straightened and made both edges paralle...

So seeing how woodworking is largely based on problem solving I tought I would post this to show you a recent problem that I had to solve. When I was routing the edge of one of my bent laminations I accidently nicked the sides leaving a nasty gouge. My heart sank thinking how much time and money I have invested in these laminations so far. Knowing that if I replace one lamination I would have to replace both since that they are matched from the same flitch of veneer and I would seriously ea...
