The pictures tell the story.

Hi everyone,

Started building some new front steps today which are a bit different to what you normally see, so I thought I'd share here.

First of the structure completed today. Apprentice was...

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing your process and progress (and for using mm :p)

Love it! Looks great, the kumiko panels are a really nice feature which grab your attention at first, but at the same time they aren't distracting once you've looked at it for a bit. Nice story too.

These look awesome, I'd be stoked to receive them. I think the timber in drawer fronts really pop and is accentuated by the neutral carcass.

I actually had this thought soon after posting! Thanks for the advice. Based on the comprehensive survey size of 1, I have cut the lap this way and it seems to be sturdy for downwards pressure :)

Hey all,

I have a question regarding a table I am currently working on, and would love some advice if anyone has any thoughts to share.

One of the pairs of legs slides into the table top via a...

Awesome build. I'm so glad you took the reflectors off the wheels. Also if you don't mind me asking, how many meatballs do you charge for a job like this?

Hey guys,

Bedside table build I completed recently. The inspiration was a dresser I caught in the background of a TV show.

Mocked it up in sketchup. The plan was to do a mitered dovetail...

Looking forward to how this one turns out!

Ditto the below. Lovely design and a piece I doubt anyone would think was made with some cobbled together scrap pieces. Well done!

Not for the next few weeks at least, unfortunately

I'll take the sanders

Welcome to the Forum :) I have been dabbling for a few years, nothing serious, and there is plenty to learn! Something I learnt just the other day that may be useful for you to know: 'Hide glue'...

Looks great, well done! How did you apply the Organoil Danish oil?

I'm looking to do some half-blind dovetails for the first time soon and have also been reading Derek's content, valuable stuff.

Hey people,

Thought I would share this build, which I guess counts as furniture.

You could say the design was heavily influenced by this piece by Leandro Garcia, so credit to them.

First...

Great build, thanks for sharing Biggus,

My two cents - wood expands mostly laterally, i.e. across the grain. For table tops breadboards are often used at the ends to keep the panel flat. The...

So I decided to go with the 100mm port as the 150mm seemed pointless due to the machine chokes, and I could potentially add additional 'open' ports near the infeed/outfeed.

I made a connector...

Hey everyone, thanks for the replies. I am still around, and have made some (albeit small) progress regarding this.

Thanks bitingmidge, your design looks pretty good, nice smooth curves and a...

Someone has some cheap 150mm PVC on Facebook. May be useful for someone working on their ducting.

I'll try have a look for those threads. I suppose the issue at hand is the fine dust that escapes from the infeed/outfeed. The chips that escape are a pain in so far as they must be swept up, but...

I haven't actually tried it, purchased a few months ago and having been sorting out DC since then. Timbecon sent me a 10% off code email randomly and that was enough for me :p. Hopefully have it...

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some advice on ways to improve dust collection on a lunchbox type benchtop thicknesser. I have a modified generic 2HP DC venting outside, with 150mm ducting.

Thanks everyone!

It is Geelong, although I've only been here about 9 months.

Yea there's always another tool on the horizon, so long as that doesn't get in the way of making some mess in the...

G'day everyone, Darcy here.

I'm an amateur woodworker currently based in Geelong. I love wood as a natural material, and have always been inspired by the beautiful pieces of furniture people...
