Shaker Table

Dec 8, 2010

This is a project I did not too long ago.  It is a Shaker End Table, made of Curly (Red Leaf) Maple.  The dovetails on the drawer, were some of my first hand cut half blind dovetails...

Re: What are The Turning Points Along Your Woodworking Path?

1 My woodworking changed in working style and quality, when I discovered hand tools. My sister bought me a couple DVDs as Christmas gift, several year ago (thanks Sis). They were by David Charlesworth and Rob Cosman. This was the biggest game changer for me. It lead me to so many other great woodworkers and hand tool users.

2. Buying my first high quality tool. The first were hand planes by Lie-Nielsen. Recently a new table saw by SawStop. I will delay a purchase if needed, to save for a quality tool now.

3. Taking quality training. Sorry most of the half-day classes at the woodworking store just don't cut it. 2 to 3 day classes maybe, but 1 or more weeks is much better. Those longer classes are vacations for me.

There are more, but these I think are the biggest game changers for me.

Re: iPad and Woodworking?

I have a Kindle and love it for books. I'd like to start to get Papers and Magazines on an eReader, but for now the Kindle isn't optimized for Papers and Magazines (really need color for mags). I'm a Mac person, but I think the iPad missed the mark (even for a Generation 1 device). I'll wait to see what else comes out in the next year or so.

Re: UPDATED: What Tools Are on Your Holiday Wish List?

I have a mix of power and hand tools items on my list. I'm thinking I want a router lift for my router table. I'm looking to buy a couple Hock blades, for some wooden hand planes, I'd like to build. Also, I might pick up some of those Bench Cookies, from Rockler.
