How to Surface End-Grain Cutting Boards with a Router Table
Just wanted to share with all my LumberJock friends a new post I just put up on my blog about how I surface my end-grain cutting boards on my router table. I know there are a lot of ways but I have been doing this way for a while and it work pretty good or if its a big board I use a router and some rails and a sled on my base. Stop my my site and check it out and let know what you thing and if you got any ideas on how to tweak I'm alway interested in learning a new trick just leave me a comment. http://sleepydogwoodworking.blogspot.com/2010/07/surfacing-end-grain-cutting-broards-on.html
I have been planning on doing the same thing for a board in the future. I was thinking about glueing the rails boards on rather than nailing. Nice to know the idea works! Good tip for a smaller router table as well. Thanks for sharing.
To help teach myself SketchUp I started designing and posting projects I design each week on my blog this week design is a hutch for a computer desk check it out at blog
I was going to leave this comment on your blog site, but it is not working correctly and forces me to sign in with my google account details (but not a google site) which I do not like
Nice looking hutch, but the internal materials look a little heavy (3/4" I think) try reducing the shelves to 3/8" or even 1/2" also the main dividers, the sub dividers try 1/4" make it look a little lighter? Traditional cabinets rarely used 3/4" stock throughout. You will be surprised how strong a piece of 1/4" stock really is.
I got to go to the World Scroll Saw Expo last weekend in Wilmington Ohio, Which is my own back yard, since I only live thirteen miles from Wilmington. The Expo was cool to say the lease and really got me excited to play with my scroll saw agian. I only have a cheap saw but it does what I ask it to do, but if I ever really want to get into some of the kind of work that these folks do I might have to re-think that!
There is three parts to my blog post the first post is just pictures from the show. I took over a hundred but I only posted a few, and some include the only carver there he was like a black sheep of the show but his work was really good. Part two is about the vender's at the show and the tools they had with them and part which I am still working on will high light the artist and clubs that where there, so enjoy and feel free to leave me any comments you want either on my blog or here, and have a great day
I have been pretty bust this summer with family and haven't gotten to do much woodworking, so I thought I would do the challenge, looking at what all ready has been done these guys are coming up with some cool stuff. Here is the link to my Blog that will show a little of what I am working on.
Yep fall a coming, it's that time a year and with the falling leave we seem to change our focus from shorts and swimming to raking leaves and storing vegetables from the garden. The heat finally giving us a break and its time to start focusing on some woodworking. Thats why this fall I am going to change things up a little at my blog, see what changes I plan on making at the wood shop. till next time

The Sawdust Chronicle's Build challenge is all most over. I have about nine day left including the extra three I asked for, and two weeks ago I changed everything I was doing and started over with a new design. So the question is, will I make it? am I nuts? well the answer to both of them questions is a great big YES!!! I will make, and yes I am nuttier than squirrel poop. Here is the link to the update to my blog if you want to see my new design or leave me a note wishing me good luck.
"nuttier than squirrel poop" Can I use that? What a great line!
