You are the best!!! I asked yesterday if you would go and check out my newly designed website and over 200 of you answered the call.
So with that I say a big thank you! I will be adding burls daily for the next week or so, so please keep checking back.
Today I will be listing some beautiful fiddle back walnut lumber and a large quilted Maple billet.
As soon as I figure out a coupon code I will extend 10% off of your whole order exclusive to LJs.
Another way you can help is when yo...

These past couple of weeks have been by far the warmest of the year. While I understand that most people have it worse, I can’t help but think if it is this warm in Nova Scotia, it really has to feel hot everywhere else.
It is no secret that I don’t like the really hot weather. Unless I can be lounging on a beach somewhere enjoying the sun, it just doesn’t do it for me. My philosophy is that you can always put more clothes on if you are cold, but when you are hot and u...

Hostile Takeover
Ok how do I handle this situation?
Thought that maybe some of the LJ’s
May be trained to handle these extremely
Sensitive takeover threats on benches
This looks like they are set in for a long
Stay. I can see a coffee mug & and a can of
Pepsi.
It looks as if Mama has an accomplices
Miss Thembi and there are 7 mini Boxers
How did she manage to get past the Jolly rouges?
I found them all in the office eating scones.
I can see that the...

In my last blog entry you may have remembered i asked what is a good mini lathe. I went down to mcquillans blanchards town today and got a Draper 07989 250W 230V Variable Speed Mini Wood Lathe, it has variable speed so i dont have to changed the pulleys, a revoling centre and a faceplate and it only cost €220 + mcquillans always give a 10% discount so it ended up costing only €198 which i think is a real bargain but my parents got it for me for christmas so i cant use it till then:(. I also g...

The shims I glued to my tenons are ready to be pared back. Seems like the mortises were just a little less than square with each other, which caused the twist when connecting the two of them with the center piece. So this session involved a lot of me hunching over the bench paring away paper thin shavings.
Testing my fit. The top of the tenon cheek is good, but the rest of it is still a little too fat.
Shaving just a bit off, and then it fits nice and snug.
I also dete...

Well, after reviewing many articles on how to do tapered legs, I went to the garage to try it. Yep, I suck!
I glued some 2×4 pine together, and then cut it down to 2 1/2 X 2 1/2. Fired up the table saw laid the taper jig (aluminum) against the fence, adjusted the jig until it looked like the proper angle ( I wanted 3/4” thick at bottom and 21/2 at top) Started the cut and darned if it looks like the angle is coming out wrong. It cuts towards the fence and not away from the fenc...

Last time I didn’t have all four bottom surfaces sitting flat. Turns out this was due to the center piece being fitted with a slight twist because one mortise had been carved out with a slight twist. So, by the time the mortise was straightened out somewhat with a chisel, the tenons didn’t quite fit as snug as they should. So on both tenons of the center piece, I glued some thin mahogany strips to shim up the tenons to tighten the fit. These will likely end up being pared or f...
