snot Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Nice work, my father makes all my gifts from wood. I have a self locking (puzzle style) oak jewelry box, he made. He has refurbished, designed, built many different things from wood. I can appreciate the time and effort you put in this project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I made a dining table for a local interior design business rececntly.Started off as oak wall joists from an old barn - 2' X 5" X 10' long boards. Planed the top. bottoms and edges and then glued them together using biscuits. Ended up with a 96" long table.Legs were stainless steel tube that I welded and sent out for polishing.Sanded, stained and 12 coats of polyurethane later... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheech Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 It does if you USE it. Pictures or it never happened... ;-) Oh, I'll vouch for this. He even has the well-trained minions to run it all. This has always been something that's fascinated me, but with the galaxy of tools and stuff out there I've always felt too overwhelmed to start doing anything. What would y'all suggest to start out with? I have on hand in the garage a B&D Matrix drill with the jigsaw and reciprocating saw attachments, a hacksaw, a couple of clamps, hammers, and that's about it. I'd like to just start easy with a workbench or something in the garage, but I just have no idea what I need and what is overkill. I have a tendency to go overboard buying tools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, RIGHT THERE! In your very own neighborhood.I used to go to this club. Check them out before you buy anything.Ask questions. There are so many skills among these guys that anythingyou would want to know is right there. I think they meet one Saturday,every two months. It was very interesting and educational. I only stoppedgoing because I always had to take a vacation day off work. http://www.wocoweb.org/ Membership includes professional woodworkers, enthusiastic hobbyists, as well as beginning woodworkers.
