After all my various projects, including my workbench, I had quite a few scrap pieces of wood left over. Random thicknesses and widths. Some were 5/8″ thick and 7″ X 14″, some were 1″ thick and 2″ X 72″. I decided to utilize all this scrap wood by making a handful of cutting boards. Continue reading Scrap Wood Cutting Boards
I purchased an X-mat system from Woodpeckers a month ago and haven’t used it yet. There wasn’t a great place for it and I was waiting to build a small clamping table to use it on. I have a 4 foot section of wall between my garage door and a spigot that would fit a small folding table. I had a bunch of left over 2X4 stock to use and some plywood. A while ago I had a small fold-down router table and I figured the same idea would work for the assembly table. Continue reading Small Folding Assembly Table
I have overfilled my 15 gallon fiber drum on many, many occasions. The biggest reason for doing this is that I am never 100% sure how full the dust collector is and I forget to check it. Usually during jointing/planing operations. Continue reading Viewing window for dust bin (fiber drum)
I had a flip-top planer cart with a miter saw on the other side. It worked pretty well for a couple years, but I wanted to change things up in my shop. Continue reading New Rolling Planer Cart
My drill press is a Shop Fox W1668 and it sits on top of a Craftsman tool chest. With the weight of the tools and drill press the cabinet does not roll very well and it is a little too tall to use comfortably. So I decided to build a new cabinet to mount my drill press on. It has to be mobile, so it will sit on casters. Continue reading Rolling Drill Press Cabinet
After my practice run on the large lidded box, I figured I was ready to build a humidor. Continue reading Walnut Humidor and Shelf
I have been asked to build a humidor for a buddy of mine. I have never built a lidded box before and wanted a practice run with some left over material before the real thing. So, I set out to make a large lidded box with splined miters. Continue reading Large Lidded Box
I was watching a video by “DIY Tyler” the other week. He had talked about buying plywood through Home Depot and having it delivered to his house. I only use the Purebond plywood from Home Depot anyhow, so I thought I would look into it. Continue reading Ordering Plywood to my House
My wife wanted a stackable paper organizer for her desk at work. We wanted it to match her pencil/pen organizer I made. You can see that project here. Continue reading Desktop Stackable Paper Organizer
I wanted to update the adapters or connection points that I make with the dust collection hose to the drops in my shop. I have had a couple close calls with the dust collection hose falling from the main central drop in my garage and hitting me in the head. Continue reading Dust Collection – Fazlok Connectors
