Nice fat dovetails.

I’ve been working on a toy chest for my daughter. Unfortunately she wants it painted and it’s been too cold to spray it (a heated shop is looking really good right now). I’m using milk paint so it will be a couple of days once the weather warms. I’ll post some pictures when I get it done.

Hey Kanban fans -

Trello? Jira? Other? Why?

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of Trello. Can go shallow or deep. Can't beat it for ease of use, robust free features, lot's of options from them/3Ps on the paid side. I haven't had a lot of success on data/tracking / reporting sides.

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.

Sat down tonight and forced myself to learn Sketchup in order to design some cabinets for a bathroom remodel.... it’s literally a game changer. It will even orient your grain pattern and spit out an optimized plywood cut diagram. Really cool.

Not quite woodworking (yet), but I’ll end up building the speaker cabinet for this thing shortly.

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.

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) cheap price ($265).

I was considering the Makita ($585) or Dewalt ($790) setups since those are my normal go-to brands, but couldn’t stomach the cost.

Highly recommend it!

Hi woodworkers! I’m pretty young (24) and therefore not super established in one spot — what’s the best way to get started in woodworking without needing to buy a bunch of equipment? Are there like pay-to-use woodshops or something?

Anyone here ever built a guitar amplifier cabinet?

I’m looking for recommendations for a bench top bandsaw. I’m willing to invest in a nicer one down the line, but right now I want to keep it under $300. I mostly see Powertec, Shop Fox, or Wen. There is a $375 Grizzly I’d consider if it’s way better than the others. Any thoughts?

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.
