I Like This Wish It Was My Idea

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Okay, not really, not my idea, but I didn't come up with it. I saw it in an email I subscribe to from “Wood Magazine” on “Woodworking Tips and Ideas” or something like that. Anyway, a while back I did some upgrades to my table saw to mainly make it safer and more convenient to use. It included making a new fence rail for it because I added an extension to the right side of the saw. The fence rail is a piece of 2” x 3” steel tube. The original rail had plastic covers to cover the ends of the tube, but they did not fit my new rail. This Tip from Wood Mag. was perfect. Make a little slide out drawer that fits into the tube. It is a nice little pencil box…. I am always looking for a pencil when I am using the saw….. I love this!!Now I will make one for the other end. It will hold my tools I need to change my zero clearance inserts, splitters and blade on the table saw..

Twin size cherry bed used dominos and pocket screws for the bed rail mounting. Only glued one side of the biscuit so the bed can be broken down if need be. Finished with danish oil. Thanks for looking.

Carving Calligraphy

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This is one project I started last year and now finished as I am preparing to attend a craft fair next month.
The letters and frame parts are hand carved walnut and cherry and the backer board is poplar. I like the color combination and plan on using it on other projects. To darken the walnut I used Beliens walnut wood filler, then I finished the letters with 1 coat of shellac, detailed sanded, then oiled with linseed and then waxed with beeswax/linseed mix.
The backer board is unfinished.
