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.…

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".…

New Tool - Part 2 - The Tax Return
At the end of last year I was kind of hoping that our tax return would be enough to let me buy a new big ticket tool for my workshop (I define “big ticket” as over $200.00). I knew I wanted to that tool to be a bandsaw, the question was really WHICH bandsaw to get.
I googled, I did searches on You Tube, I visited manufacturers websites, I posted questions in woodworking forums. I created a comparison chart of 15 different band saws from 10 different manufacturers, comparing resaw…

A counter top you can count on...
Got to spend quite a bit of time the shop this weekend and made a bit a progress on both of the pending projects.
The Cherry Counter Top for the Built-In
I got out my Kreg Mini and set about drilling 20 pocket holes in the center board of the counter top (10 on each side). I got the Mini free when I ordered on of the Kreg clamps I got, and this thing is a joy to use on big pieces like this and I don't have to take my regular Kreg apart.…

The Phantom Woodworking Show
Saturday my wife and I got up early (for us, on a Saturday) and hit the road to drive down to Marlborough, Massachusetts to attend a woodworking show I had found online a few weeks ago. We made the 86 miles drive in bright sunshine and good spirits, arriving at our destination 10 minutes before the show was scheduled to start that day (the website advertising a 3 day event, Fri - Sun).
Imagine our surprise to show up and find an empty ... nay, a…

Putting up a Fasle Front can be a good thing....
I'm real sore today, but that should be expected as I spent almost 4 hours on my knees yesterday (no, get your mind out of the gutter). I finally got all the drawer fronts finished with a final coat of stain and poly and it was time to install them.
For those who may have forgotten, this is what we started with way back when:…

A tale of two Kitchens
WARNING**** No where in this project did I use any kind of KREG product.
One Kitchen is a soothing, well laid out, modern, cullinary workshop, and the other kitchen is the one we actually have.
Step one in the transformation happened this weekend.

3, 2, 1, ... 0 Clearance
I've had a zero clearance insert sitting around my shop forever (a few years anyway) that I never go installed into my table saw. While working on the raised drawer fronts it became quickly apparent that I was going to have to do SOMETHING to keep the short end of the small drawers from falling into the blade opening of my standard insert while they were being cut, so I finally bit the bullet and figured out how to get the inset put in:…

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…
