Re: What is Furniture Lab?

Interesting concept and one that I can identify with since I seem to never throw away any material that might be useful in the future. New living styles in homes with wall mounted flat screen HDTV's and computer centers with WiFi connections throughout the house challenge the furniture maker to provide useful new forms of furniture.

Re: Walnut Bedside Tables

Great work and I love the name of your business since my cars left the garage 32 years ago.

Re: Mahogany Entertainment Center

rob, yes I made this cabinet with my festool domino joiner. They make wonderful tools!

Re: Maloof Exhibit Mounted in California

I attended a weekend seminar with Sam about 20 years ago at UC Berkeley and still have fond memories of this incredible man. I went home and promptly made one of his table designs and have been using parts of his design concepts for the past two decades. The thing I was most astonished with is Sam's ambition and his work ethic. The world has been a better place with people like Sam Maloof!

Re: Fitting drawers to a crooked table

Thanks for sharing your solution and while I agree that the problem may have been over exaggerated, I too get brain frozen over minor issues like this and appreciate and and all solutions.

Re: Mahogany Hall or Sofa table

Great looking table and I specially like using recycled wood to create new beautiful furniture. I would love to see the detailed photo's as I need to build my wife a similar table for our entry hall.

Oh, by the way - the jury was nuts!

Re: More Details on the Carlos Osorio Tablesaw Lawsuit

Cheap labor with poor training has been a problem in American for many years. I'm 65 years old and I have few relatives that were killed in industrial accidents but, I would never blame the tool manufacturer. Poor training and greed can sum it up very shortly. I guess stupidity can also be a factor if a person has been given instruction and then ignores those instructions or comes to work stoned or otherwise impaired.

Dang, did I pay that electricity bill?

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Working with Tablesaws, from the editors of Fine Woodworking

I'd love this book perhaps, I might save a finger or two.

Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: 500 Chairs and 500 Tables

Hello,

I have most issues of Fine Woodworking from issue 1 on along with fine furniture and a shelf full of woodworking books. While I am a fair woodworker, my design skills lack any imagination what-so-ever.

I am about to embark on a project to build my wife a dining room table out of some wood I purchased 30 years ago, Brazilian Rosewood and I would love to come across an inspiring leg and apron table design before I commit my most prized wood to the shop.

I have been searching for over two years for just the right design and I would appreciate the table and chair book to assist me in this endeavor.

Thanks for this web site and your fine contributions to the art of woodworking.

Jack
