Re: UPDATE: Building Small Cabinets by Doug Stowe

Love building small cabinets and boxes!

Re: How to Set Wood Sap

Never knew this before. Great learning for me. Thank you.

Re: More Details on the Carlos Osorio Tablesaw Lawsuit

I still don't understand the objection to sawstop and or the price. I paid the price $ for the saw and love it. Don't want it, don't buy and we'll see how you feel when injured at it. Some people will go a lifetime without injury and some will not. All of those injured wish they had been using a sawstop. So STF up about the price and be as careful as possible so your're not one of the woodworkers without hand parts. I used to just state my point here about the nay sayers and now I'm just sick of it. But I still don't want anyone hurt so please continue to be careful!

Re: Dovetailed drawers are overrated

No, they are rated correctly. lol

Re: Norm Abram at Old Sturbridge Village

I like seeing and listening to Norm. That said, a monopod or tripod would really help the video a lot. Thanks for posting.

I can appreciate a good dvd!

Re: SawStop rolls out a more affordable cabinet saw, aimed at serious hobbyists

"I have yet to understand why people are opposed to technology that can prevent potentially severe and crippling injury."

I agree. I remember all the disagreement in the forums as well when sawstop first came out. I own one now and I'm no less careful than I was with any other tablesaw. Seems like somehow just the fact that Sawstop is on the market it's taken as some sort of a slam against careful woodworkers who don't own one. Lost fingers are accidents, no one goes to the shop to intentionally cut off a finger. Sawstop is a good quality saw with another safety feature.

Thank you.

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Encyclopedia of Woodworking by Alan and Gill Bridgewater

We seem to be past the entry deadline of 6 27 09?

Re: Grass' Unisoft adjustable soft-close works with virtually any self-closing hinge.

Looks good to me. It's from the show, helpful to some of us and low cost. Thanks for the post! I'll be getting some to add to my existing cabinets.

Re: How I remember Sam Maloof

Thanks Asa for such an intimate portrait of Sam Maloof and your experience with him. It seemed as though I was sitting on the edge of the chair reading the details with wide eyes. It would be an absolute treat to see some of your photos.

Thanks again,

Greg

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Early American Country Furniture

I'll take a shot at this one as well. Thanks FWW!

Re: Shaker style hutch, milk-painted

Another beautiful piece! Forgot to mention the last time how much I like your photos as well. Clearly another hobby that you excell at!

Keep 'um coming,

Greg

Re: Shaker style entertainment center

Oh BTW, I'm at takecareofbusiness@hotmail.com.

Re: Shaker dining table, birdseye maple

Chuck,

Your work is gorgeous and I got excited like you when I first discovered Shaker pieces. It's what I've always wanted to build. I've been to Hancock Shaker villge a few times. I just now have a home and workshop even though I've gotten by elsewhere in the past. Nearly all of the projects you've posted here, I have intended to do someday as well. Love Kassay's book! Anyway, I've been watching your posts awaiting to see the Shaker washstand with the one door base and the dovetailed, compound angled top. Is that something you'll be posting soon?! lol

Thanks for the great posts,

Greg

Re: Miniature Cupboard with Drawers

Beautiful piece! What a great adaption of the larger one. It has me wanting to downsize a shaker piece as well.

Re: Cello Box

Just gorgeous! I so glad to see you answering questions about the box. The aging and color are stupendous and I would be very grateful to know how you produced that finish? Also, is it correct to assume that it was sitka spruce? Thank for the great box entry. It's very inspiring to me.

Greg

Re: Small Shaker chest

Love this piece! Saw it first in Kassay's book and have been planning to make a copy ever since. You've done a beautiful job with this one. Perfect for "little tools." Thanks for showing us this.
