Easy measurement conversions? - 10 replies So I’m probably going to show my newbieness here but I’d rather be safe than sorry. I’m working from a set of plans for Modular Tool bins (seems to be in every The Complete Small Shop magazine and at least one Woodsmith book I own). The dimensions call for 3/4 and 1/2 in ply. Since this is going to be residing in my garage, I w... |

Craftsman table saw extensions - any such thing as quick releases? - 5 replies Hi All!

Planning for saw kerf? - 18 replies I’m sure this is a newbie question but I’m attempting to design my project in a way that maximizes the needed plywood (going for a red oak ply).

I’m looking to start a new (hopefully quick) project for work. my money maker is in a cubicle, and I’d like to start having the ability to stand while I work.

stain...removal? - 10 replies Ok, so I can’t remember where I got the crazy idea of trying to finish my pieces to save myself down the line or attempt to get a smoother finish on the inside of my cabinet case – but I did.

Cedar shakes? - 6 replies Hey everybody! I’m hoping I’m in the right spot for this question, so here goes! a few years back I took down a tiki bar in my basement (previous owner), and was thinking that I should keep the cedar shakes used to line the back wall and the front of the bar because it seemed a waste to toss them out. They don’t seem to be f... |

what to adjust first/last/next? - 12 replies Morning everyone! I could really use some input on something I’ve been fuddling with for the past hour or so.

Back to the basics - question on removing "end grain" on plywood - 5 replies Hey everybody – My entertainment center has about ground to a halt as it is the last push before the quarter is done, but I’ve run into a small conundrum. My dad was kind enough to cut the boards to size for me, and I was able to start dry piecing the ends together. There’s a piece of red oak ply in the middle (roughly 20 in ... |
