Some work that I did in my kitchen. I had some empty wall space that yearned for a small cabinet to match the rest of my kitchen cabinets. After a few days in the workshop, ... this appeared, ...

So I think that woodworking (as far as this Space is concerned) should pretty much involve anything people do with wood, ... it is ALL "woodworking", in a sense. We can have hobbyists who make crafty things by hand or with machines, we can have home "do-it-yourselfers" who are fixing up a home, we can have yard work enthusiasts who create decks, gazebos, fences, sheds, we can have questions from people tackling building their homes, and we can

Is anyone familiar with 'Little Free Libraries'? My wife got tired of hearing me say I wanted one, so she got the ball rolling for me last christmas. 😅 She built a box and found a cabinet door on Facebook marketplace to use for it. I’m sure you will see more of this project as I finally get around to finishing it and getting it up in the yard!

Christmas morning with my new little library

So I earlier posted about not being able to buy #10 x 1.5" round head brass screws anywhere in the Sault (finally found some at Home Hardware). This is a photo of a plaque I created for a friend for his son's 50th birthday. The brass screws are used to fasten the Plexiglas cover to the 3/4" brass stand-offs, so they needed to be that big for aesthetic value. All of the coins are 50 cent pieces (because it is the 50th birthday, and all are from

In the 80s and 90s we were inundated with the fad of television woodworking shows. my favorite was always Roy Underhill's "Woodwright's Shop". It seemed Norm Abrams always had easy access to the best tools money could buy, but Roy did it all with an adze, a fro, and a peddle-driven lathe. Who was your fav, ... ?

So I am creating a decorative plaque for a friend, and wanting to use round head brass screws for it. So do you think I can find what I need?, ... not much of a supply of these in the Sault. I need #8 or #10 1.5", and no one has them. Not the Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Lyons, Soo Mill, or Princess Auto. Finally found two packets at the Home Hardware, ... Amazon was my next choice, but I like to buy local and not pay $3.50 a screw.

I have a grape vine in my back yard that just won't go away no matter how hard I try. I relented, and built a trellis/arbour system for it to grow on. Now I just have to trim it back twice a year.

Today’s project was installing a custom maple countertop. Maybe one day I will be able to build my own countertops but this one I ordered, through a guy on Facebook. Installed onto this vintage cabinet, with room for this wire shelf underneath as well. Maple to match our hardwood flooring.

So what tools are a must in the shop for anyone who is making furniture, cabinets, or "artsy" things? I think free-standing power tools should include: 1- a table-saw 2 - a miter saw station 3 - a floor model drill press 4 - a floor model band saw (14" - 16" depth, if you can) 5 - a thickness planer (13" cut, if you can) 6 - a belt/disc sander combo 7 - a jointer 8 - an oscillating sander 9 - a dust collection system I have Woodworking

So someday I hope to replace my 12" miter saw with a Botsch 12" saw, because I really like Botsch quality and the space-saving feature of the collapsing slide arms. But in the meantime, I tore apart my 10 year old King 12" compound sliding miter saw, replaced bushing, cleaned and painted it red (original colour is a drab grey), and have a good refurbished saw. Attached is a photo of my refurbished King saw, and the Botsch I hope to someday
