No blood this time. I make a lot of plywood boxes and was doing what I do when WHAMM! While cutting some 14 x 15 inch 3/4 plywood end pieces,  one of them slipped out of my hand, landed on the spin...

Not a week gets by without me hearing CLICK while using a power tool. That would be the sound generated by some random chip hitting my "protective eye wear."

Jeez, I usually just bring a ukulele. Now I know to make spoons instead. Great way to beat the otherwise lost hours.

My first thought when scrolling the images: Man, I should figure out how to make boxes that look like that. Very nice work. The time, effort, and patience you employed are all in evidence with the...

Post: RE: Making a repair look more seamless
Don't you just hate it when that happens? As it is a small break, flow a bit of thin super glue over the affected area. Once it dries (or use activator) you can lightly sand and add some finish over i...

Post: RE: Should I buy this lathe?

The narrow leg spacing was thought of during the build. What I decided was that the table can stand on its own yet is meant to stand next to something, such a sofa. So there should always be be some a...

Caught myself a couple of years back. Minor damage on the end of middle finger on left hand. It's still tender and weird looking. Best of luck with recovery.
