Beautiful piece. Big fan of birch and really like the walnut bead with it. Great craftsmanship.

Hi Mike,

Assuming that you've had a chance to use it are there any changes/modifications that you might consider? I like the idea of making it portable, i.e. removeable legs.

I'd also like to adapt it for use as a carving bench, uh horse.

Derek, very nicely done follow up to the discussion on Knots. I do have one question though; Why the Wixey to set the tablesaw blade? I know you could have just eyeballed it! Gotta give ye a bit o' leg pullin ya know.

Best Regards,

Regarding your plane/chisel cabinet; might you consider laying the planes on their sides? This way you could almost double the cabinets capacity whilst keeping the planes readily identifiable and easy to get to.

You could then get more planes and appease the plane Gawds that recommend not placing them on their blades! :-)

Thanks bowmkr, always glad to help. Right now I'm thinking thru some new fixtures for the sled; just some simple stuff like mitre attachment, adapt it to do tapered legs. Got any ideas?

Vaughn: There's also another freebie called PDF995 which sounds like it does about the same thing as the one TrophyJoe suggested.

All you folks if ye haven't had the opportunity, hop on over the moat and check out Knots, the FWW woodworking forum - lots of great advice and help o'er there.

Hey Mark,

How about an article on making a Victorian birdhouse!?

Just kidding of course, well maybe not.

All kidding aside, how about an article on making a cylinder fall secretary? One of my goals is to make one and I've never seen one grace the pages of Fine Woodworking.

Also, I agree with requests for carving on period furniture. If you do one, please don't forget any details with regard to stock preparation, i.e. do I need to leave additional material for relief carving, etc. Also don't forget to include diagrams of the various components similar to Randall O'Donnels Cyrly Cherry Highboy which began in #117.

Hi Steve,

My resolution is to finish the Queen Anne entertainment center, maybe a French Polish for the top(another '09 resolution - learn how to do a French Polish).

Mebbe make a few shavins along the way.

Happy New Year,Bob

So Mike, are ye knuckles draggin on the woodshop floor yet?

Hope all is well and you're having fun.

I haven't been shopping for a while now but tis the season with the cikd weather and all. Have never had the opportunity to try a #66. I wonder, besides the physical differences, how much different a #66 is to my #45 in terms of the function that they perform? Probably a dumb question.

Regards,
Bob
