Steel roofing is shipped banded to pallets. To protect the roofing from the banding rough cut wood strips are used. They are heavy and dense and might be good for building a workbench or something. I considered using them to make a butcher block top for a kitchen island but decided to use...

Measuring, marking and cutting can lead to error. So I combined a couple of tips from others to cut rails for my kitchen island drawer front. I used a carpenter's rule with the little brass slide to do the inside measurement (two sticks with a clamp would have worked). The measurement would have...

I am keeping watch on Craigslist and Marketplace for a vintage Craftsman RAS. I had maybe a 1967 9" Craftsman Homeshop RAS and used it to build my 2400 ft² house including all cabinetry and mill work. Craftsman had a single bladed molding head cutter accessory with a variety of blade shapes...

I was watching an Ana White video regarding concealed hinges. Ana commented that she used Barker Doors so I found this link for Shaker style doors; Shaker Cabinet Doors

A simple knock-down rack made from half lapped 2x4s can support sheet goods for sawing into manageable pieces.

I was just musing about a wooden stool that could double as a cajon. I made a small cajon from a sturdy cardboard cat litter box by pouring the litter out an elliptical hole. I saw this one on youtube with a street band (Stray Melody). I am wondering about its internal structure. For musicians...

The state has built a two-lane roundabout on a US Hwy in my area and plans two more at the next two intersections (which are maybe 300-400 ft apart). I try to avoid it when possible. Its radius is too tight and I have trouble staying in my lane even with my Prism. I can't see the lane markings...

This is a beautiful oak door that also gives a hint of how one might use simple moldings to get a new look for a slab door w/o affecting the thickness of the door for fit or hardware.

This could be almost be a scrap wood project and could be adapted to be a table, bench, tool stand or shop stool. For myself I usually prefer fixed casters as they are less squirrely (and cheaper). In fact I don't use locking casters, I just orient them such that normal forces are not in the...

I am pondering making this track saw jig. Basically my immediate need is to cut drawer box sides and ends and bottoms from scrap wood. I have a RAS but that requires one straight edge before ripping plus ripping is not the easiest task with sheet goods or scrap. This jig seems like it would be...

I like to watch woodworking videos. I don't plan on making any nightstands but this video gives me ideas. I can see adding extra drawers and a longer top to make a workbench or even a desk. Some of the technique might be combined with Ana White's kitchen island plan or to build a shop stand for...

(May 25, 2023 / JNS) Iran on Thursday presented to the world a new ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers (around 1,240 miles) and capable of carrying a 1,500-kilogram (approximately 3,300-pound) warhead, Tehran’s state-run IRNA news agency reported.

I am considering plinth blocks in lieu of mitering large molding for the sides of a kitchen island. The problem is that the molding will be five inches wide. I want rosette plinth blocks and a cutter large enough to make them would be expensive if available at all. I could turn the blocks on the...

When my son was in a praise team tey would often add some penny whistle. What got them started was Robin Mark's 'When It's All Been Said and Done'. I really like this version of Bless the Lord with a penny whistle break.

I haven't vetted this. It just came to my attention;
