They call it labor day for a reason...

I finished the kitchen cabinets on schedule and my brother and sister-in-law came up this weekend and attacked the project with gusto...



First the sheet rock came down, and then most of the wall studs came out. …

It's time for a cabinet meeting!

The great cabinet build started in earnest on Thursday. Before any cabinets got built, however, I had to wait for a little help to show up to cut the full sheets of plywood down. While waiting I gave the shop a pretty good cleaning and even managed to organize my sheet good pile.…

One Project Down, Another Project Ready To Go

Finally finished the face frames on the built-in bookcases, and they are now done except for painting (and my lovely wife is going to take care of that).



Here is the "finished" product that still needs some "finish".…

Going, going, gone...

Sunday I went to my first auction. My wife spied an article in the local paper about an estate auction being held nearby and part of the estate was a wood working shop!



The auctions started at 10:00, and I didn't get there until nearly 9:45, so I didn't have as much chance to walk around and scope things out as I would have liked.



I got a little electric sharpener (by craftsman) for $10.00. This will be good enough to hollow grind a set of junkie bench chisels, but I don't… Continue

The 2 hour project

After working 1/2 a day on Saturday, I cam home and installing the top

the Bedroom Built in. One more step in finishing this and its a big

one. Now everything looks finished (except for the handles, and the big

gouge I took out of the wall installing the top) and adding the two

bookcases to each end are just "add ons".…

Kerry, I wanted to tell you as soon as I knew.  We are planning on deleting the 'blog' feature of the website for good and replacing it with a 'product review' feature since most users seemed not to understand blogs and often confused them with forums.  As one of the few users who used blogs correctly, I wanted to warn you before your posts were deleted (within the next week) to copy/paste them over into the forums before that happens.  I'd hate for all of your great content to be deleted.

 

Thanks!

Hi Kerry,
Thank you for being my friend. I'm looking forward to getting all the information and wood projects I can do soon as my health improves and I get off the blood thinners.
I'm just concerned with getting cut and not being able to stop the bleeding. The biscut machine what kind is it and how much do they cost? I really admire your woodworking skills. You've made some beautiful ones. Keep in touch often as you want . I look forward to each day and see what is going on in the woodworking community. Take care and GOD bless.

Kerry thanks for the tip. What kind of wax do you use?

Just wanted to drop by and say that I personally enjoyed your videos... good to see projects go together from start to finish. Maybe a highlight reel would have been better? Take 10 videos and break them up into 2 really informative ones? We live in such a "instant gratification" society you know... :)

Anyway, keep it up. Really appreciate the content you post!

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Not Pleased With Pocket Hole Construction

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction.  I have considerable experience with conventional…
