Oak crotch table legs

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


A friend of mine has an Alaskan mill. He and I are always swapping favors and he brought me this slab a couple of years ago. It's been upstairs in my shop since then and I finally decided to flatten it out and do something with it. I think it will make a nice small table, but I've never made this type of furniture before and can't decide what kind of legs to use. I'm asking for ideas. At first I thought maybe some natural tree limbs with the bark stripped off, but decided against it. What do you all think?

I need a mini table saw

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I have begun to make small jewelry boxes- using 1/4" - 3/8"material. I find that my large table saw is a bit bulky for this detail work. Although I have made several jigs to have accurate miter corners, I wish that I had a small bench saw to do this intricate work. Something with a 6"-ish blade. I tried using my hand plane with shooting boards, would rather a precise machine. ANY IDEAS? Anyone use a smaller TS for detail work?

The latest improvement to my small shop. I used bypass closet door hardware to make a place to hang often used tools. So far I like it!

Dovetail Drawers for new masterbed room dresser

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I am contemplating of doing some nice dovetail drawers for my custom hand made dresser that is going in my master bedroom. What wood would be good for these drawers? Is there a good plywood that would be good for dovetail drawers? if so, what type and whats the best thickness. I have done regular poplar before with no issue but these are going to be a big large since they are a drawer for a master bedroom dresser.
Thanks in advance!
