Hobby To Business: So, you want to start a woodworking business?
Wood Joints: Joints are a fundamental part of woodworking. They have the practical function of joining pieces of wood together into a finished project while they can also provide a decorative element to your work.
Wooden Puzzle: The object of this puzzle is to open the jailhouse by removing two bars.
Outdoor Furniture: The idea for this project came to me while I was helping a friend Bar-B-Q hamburgers and hot dogs for a little league baseball team that he coached. As with most Bar-B-Q's, there were two small side tables, attached. Those tables provided only room for the food that was cooking. We still needed room to place our sauces, utensils, and other Bar-B-Q essentials.
Mission Style: When playing a relaxing game of pool, it's nice to have a comfortable chair to sit in as you watch your opponent and prepare your next shot. It's especially nice if that chair offers you a place to rest your cue and set your drink.
Wood Finishing: In the last article I described shellac as an easy to use finish: easy to apply, easy to clean up, and easy to repair. In this article we'll look at an elegant nature of shellac: French polishing.
Tool Review: I've been using Japanese waterstones for quite a few years. Although they work very well, I find that they require frequent flattening, and a soft touch, as they gouge and chip rather easily. Recently I tested the DMT DuoSharp two grit diamond sharpening stone. Diamond stones are not new on the market, but they are not as widely known as waterstones.
Tools: A good set of chisels is an important shop purchase. Next to hand planes and saws, chisels are the next most frequently used hand tools.
