I’ve been woodworking for the past 15 years as a hobby. I enjoy building furniture, boxes and turning pens.

My last project was a maple panel desk for my son. I made the top out of curly maple and the draw fronts were made from bird’s eye maple.

My current project is a humidor – I’m making it out of Bubinga and Ebony with a Spanish Cider lining.

Re: Shop Talk Live 25: Time for a New Monster Workbench?

Another place to get great lumber in NC is from www.sawmillnc.com. Kyle Edwards runs this one man operation on his grandfather’s century farm, he's a great guy. He is located about 45 min north-west of Charlotte, NC in Iron Station, NC. If you’re close it worth a visit to his rustic location, especially if you’re looking for walnut, cherry or very large slabs.

Re: FineWoodworking.com Gets a Makeover

Ed,

Really like the new look and feel. One issue - cant seem to find a way to save items to "my favorites".

Thanks

Re: Pedestal Table

What the...? That looks crazy difficult. I'm assuming you hand cut all of the dovetails, no way I can think of doing it another way. How thick is the tablecloth part that hangs over? How many hours would you estimate the piece took you?

GREAT Craftsmanship !

Re: Coffee table

Nicely Done. I really like the under bevel on the table top. Did you spray the Genearal Finish?

Re: Shop Talk Live 16: A Lethal Dose of PEG?

Another well done podcast. Solid content is the key. Hands down the best woodworking podcast out there. Much better than the other 3 guys doing a similar podcast, they often spend way to much time on one topic or go so far off topic that I have turned it off. Thanks for keeping the quality top notch...keep the "SHIP" sailing !!
