I've been woodworking since 2004. I got the bug when I saw all the cool toys, I mean tools, our contractor got to play with while he was remodeling our kitchen.
By day I'm a Software Engineer at an investment bank so it's nice creating things that won't vanish if the electricity runs out :)
My woodworking goal is to get a project featured in the pages of Fine Woodworking :)

This post is just to share some top building pics I’m using a 9’ straight edge to joint the boards for the top. I usually use this for cutting sheet goods to size as I have a jig that locks a circular saw to it but it’s come i...

So it’s been pretty slow going as of late. The top is proving to be trickier than I’d anticipated and I got sidetracked with a slew of house related tasks. The main issue I’ve had with the top is being able to effectively mill such large pie...

I’ve been making slow but steady on my bench. After getting my jointer knives sharpened I set about milling the stock for the legs. I’d noticed my dust collector wasn’t running as well as it once did and wondered were all the dus...

So I got my jointer blades back from the sharpener, Standard Saw Works, and they did a great job. It’s a cool store too and one of the storefront window displays is full of old wooden planes (I didn’t get a pic) Once I got the blade...

Thanks guys, this looks to be a great site; one I might end up spending a little too much time on :) I’ll post a couple of my previous projects a little later, I also have some designs for a matching console table that I’d like to share.

Thanks Mike, after finishing the bed it was nice to be able to knock out the bench in a relatively short period of time. If you haven’t already definitely check out veneering, it’s very simple and allows you to use some stunning pieces of lumber in your projects. David Marks inspired me to give it a whirl and www.joewoodworker.com provided the know how and everything I needed to get up and running.
