Re: Black Walnut Kitchen Island Top

Beautiful! For me it is not about not making mistakes. I gave that up a long time ago, always something. Its about being able to fix them without anyone knowing :)

Re: My small garage shop

My dust collector is a 2HP Central machine from Harbor Freight. Got it for a hundred bucks on craigslist. I got the idea for the two stage set up from some of the other guys on another site blog. This set up works great for keeping the larger stuff out of the impeller and filter. I use a single expandable hose set up with Dust Right fittings that I just plug in to whatever machine I am running. The bags on this machine are only 30 micron so I just roll the machine outside while its running. I have a Wynne Nano on order to upgrade the filter system. I will post pics when I get it finished. This set up has more than enough power for any two machines in my shop. I also added a Dust Right tool port fitting to a 3 inch pvc pipe that works great as a floor sweep for cleaning up shavings on the floor after hand planing and things like that.

Re: Stanley plane cabinet

Thanks for the compliment. I still need to finish the doors. They will be 4" deep and I thought I would house my chisels and Starrett squares alonge with my cabinet files in them.

Re: UPDATE: DVD Giveaway: Fine Woodworking 2011 Annual Collection

I have only been working wood for about four years and when I started I didn't know what a Rabbet Or a Dado was. Just about everything Ive learned Ive learned here. Using the articles in the magazine and online extras Ive not only learned a great deal but I have been able to turn out some nice furniture for my wife that I would never have been able to buy her. I am in the process of putting up a book shelf in the shop so I can keep m,y articles close by for easy reference.

Re: $4 Hall Table from cast off

I like it. I get all kinds of wood to reclaim from construction sites I work on. My Bailey plane cabinet recently posted is an example of this. I also salvaged truckloads of pine from crates that the siding for Palomar Medical center was shipped in. All bound for the landfill before it becomes furniture.

Re: Holiday Table

I like the contrast of the different woods. I was thinking of building my bedroom furniture with the same contrast in mind. I like the walnut with the lighter maple. I was thinking of a dresser with a maple case and a walnut top and drawer fronts. bed and night stands to match.
