Wanted to share some advice for anyone looking at track saws. I just bought the bare WEN 6.5” unit ($145.29) and paired it with the Powertec guide rail set ($119.89) and came away with a solid setup at a (comparatively) chea… more

You guys and gals mind if I use this bowl to document my current build? It will take me a month to finish given family responsibilities, but this place seems like as good a place as any to share build photos. This end table is the (hopeful) end state.

I’m making an outfeed table / workbench. I have three design ideas for the frame right under the top. Which ones do you think is best? I want it to stay flat and have some easy clamping on the edge. I have numbers next to each one.

New project is halfway complete: a combination outfeed and assembly table. Still need to build drawers for the cabinets, glue and edge the top, and add T-Track, but I’m enjoying working in this cooler weather. Hope all of you guys and gals are doing well! Post your projects if you have anything fun going on.

Not that I’ve worn ties much in the last year, but I made this to get a bit more organized. The pegs are actually bolts for door hinges that I cut down. $1.25 for a 4 pack kept this whole thing under $10

Been busy making my garage into an actual shop. Put in 14 outlets on two circuits and added French cleats to two walls. Not done yet but a million times better than it was.

Where do y'all get your lumber?

So I’m space constrained right now & there aren’t any maker spaces around me so I’m going a little crazy not being able to work on any projects. Humor me and show me what you are working on!

Does anyone use SketchUp? Thoughts? Advice?

What is the one tool that you bought that made you say “wow I should have bought that sooner”?

Careful gang, I lucked out and my reflexes are faster than I realized. Half the nail is gone and the tip took a haircut. Fortunately I had gorilla glue nearby, but probably should have gotten stitches...

On a related note, I need to start saving for a sawstop cabinet saw

Well guys and gals: I did it. I found a way to merge consulting and woodworking. I present to you a walnut shoe rack full of Allen Edmonds shoes. Still need to put some finish on it and complete a second identical one for the closet. Addl. pics below
