Looking good! Cheers!

TOOLBOX TIP

_______________

Stub drill bits are something I found when I was going to engineering school, after twenty years or so of contracting and woodworking. They would be some of my first drill bit purchases if starting out again. They can be a little more expensive, however, they are usually very good quality and cut really well.

It is a very good glue! Cheers!

Tools don’t necessarily make the craftsman. A true craftsman can carve a sphere with a standard flat chisel.

I am praying for you this morning!

That is too bad... Keep after it, and find a way to make it work out. You have great talent!

I am looking forward to help build a community here. Post your creations when you can! Cheers!

TOOLBOX TIP

_______________

I am introducing Tool Box Tips. A series that will give tips, tricks, tools, skills, and more, that will help improve your “toolbox”.

Your toolbox is more than where you keep your tools, it is the whole of your experience that you draw upon to tackle a new project. It is your metaphorical toolbox that you carry with you at all times.

Enjoy!

Good idea! Just scrape the glue off when done. I am still thinking of ideas how to make sure the doors I am working on, are straight and in a single plane. Don't Have beams like those... Yet!

I saw your work on your website, nice looking! Gave you a follow. Cheers!

Awesome! Petty good size glue up. What is the wood resting on? Steel?

There is never enough clamps!

Followed ya! Cheers!

Very good! 3D printing is something I would like to do when I get my shop set up... Small steps! Let us know how it goes!

Same here, I am glad it has come into "vogue" because it is essential for people to know how to build things. It is hurting our manufacturing base even in aviation, scary...

Yes, there are some good tools today. The greatest thing we have now is Youtube. When I started we only had Norm Abrams and This Old House... Good Times! Cheers!

I just ran across your post by accident and saw the red heart pillow. I had my aortic valve replaced in December of 2021due to an ascending aneurysm . I am glad to see you are doing good after surgery. Trials like this, if viewed correctly, can strengthen you. Peace be with you!

When I give new woodworkers advice on their first equipment purchases. It has to be a good tablesaw. It is the center of any functional wood shop. It is the workhorse that can do many different things. It can rip, crosscut, join an edge, dado and rabbet cut, you can even make your own custom moulding (without a moulding knife set - more on that later!).

You don’t need the most expensive one, a good quality contractor’s saw can be sufficient.

Final trip to the lumber yard in order to hand pick the best looking douglas fir for the shop's barn doors!

The barn door series starts soon...

Awesome! Wish I was in the mountains! Cheers!

Someday I'll be one too! Cheers!

Thank you, very much for the welcome that everybody gave me yesterday! Cheers!

Installed the second window in the shop today. The sill was Zip taped flashed to shed water. The outside of the window was also Zip taped along the top and sides (Sorry, I didn’t get a good picture of the sill flashing, you can see some). The bottom was left untaped so that any water that is shed by the flashing has a way to drain onto the Zip sheathing.
