Alright I think this is about right. Any suggestions to make this more efficient? Just need to cut the hole in the middle. Hand tools only too dead gum hot to be outside.

How the heck am I supposed to fasten this lower panel and sides to the top? Panel to side or panel to top first?

Anyone know how this is happening - super different

Practicing dovetails with some 1/2” poplar. The grain on one board tripped me up and I tore out twice and looks like I measured off. Any suggestions to clean this up for make look presentable?

Why on earth did people build cabinet doors like this? - painted side on your right.

Hi All,

I am trying to get this plank of laminated 2x4 SYP (pine) to rest on an old chest of drawers. The vise is attached and needs part of the top cut out for clearance. I am thinking this will need more structural support as the section I am removing will likely weaken the carcass and base. I plan is to just take a router down the two blue lines, remove that section, make a few cross beams in the cabinet and a couple more 2x4” vertical under the vise for support. Is this insane or could work?

I am new to the router but it seems like a straight bit down the blue lines should remove the top section.

Thoughts / suggestions??

Anyone for a better way to clean these up?

Anyone have any innovative ideas for this shooting board? I just built and it’s amazing to get boards square. But this one is super simple . There must be some tricks to make better or more functional on other tasks.

Thanks !

5/32” over the table line - I guess I need a shim on the bottom.maybe some 1/4” scrap? Idk but the vise needs to be lower right?

Finally did this exercise after noticing my chisels were a little wonky. Any tips?

Done whipped up this box outline with dovetails for first time. Pretty cool and fun, I may be hooked.

I got this thing from Ali-express for too much money. But want to know what I need to do to tighten the blade. I

Which area should I mount this 9” yost vice? On outside of leg or on the inside? I am thinking flush to the leg on the left -(right side towards the center) but heck I really don’t know - and does it have to be flush with the bottom ? This vise is a little over 3-1/2” from mount to top. With the 2x4s on side just a little bit too high - recommended shim size? Another 2x4 ?

Hi all-

Just seeing if anyone has advice on installing this chunk of a vise. Would like to keep flush with top and leg on the back part but seeing if install on the leg would be a bad idea… or on the Front corner
