This custom woodworking project was built to be used as a baby changing table to go with a crib I made until it is no longer needed for that task. Then will be used as a dresser and will still go with the crib or when the crib is converted into a bed. The dresser…
Benchtop Sander
You need a sander for home DIY or hobby reasons. Do you need a belt disc sander? Probably. A disc belt sander designed for a benchtop is a rugged and sturdy sanding machine built to last, a hard-working partner that provides plenty of machine-power and better control than hand-sanding alone, helping you achieve great results on…
Cypress Display Shelf
Made of cypress with 1/8 inch plywood shelves and a luan back this display shelf would compliment any collection. The cypress looks great with just a couple coats of satin lacquer. Corners turned out good.
Oak Coat Rack
This is a simple project. All you need is a 1x4x32″ board of what ever species of wood you prefer, four coat hooks, and (as Emril says) BAM!! You got it. Seriously, it’s that simple! See bottom of page forhHow to build a coat rack . 1. Coat rack was made with an old 3/4″…

BEVEL-EDGED CHISELS
When I say “chisel,” the image that pops into most woodworkers’ minds is a beveledged chisel like any of those shown in the top photo. It’s ironic that these chisels have been marketed so long as bevel-edged that most people don’t realize that these are actually firmer chisels. What’s really odd is that many woodworkers…
CHISEL TERMINOLOGY
Chisels can be broadly classified into two groups: those designed for use with hand pressure only, and those intended to be driven by a mallet. Chisels made for hand use only may be either firmer chisels (originally called “former” chisels because they were used to form rough shapes) or paring chisels. Mallet-driven chisels are mostly…
