    Hello, pretty new to woodworking. I've got a project in mind for a shelf/cabinet on the TV wall, where I would like to make the total length approximately 8'. This is mostly to avoid having to make it in three pieces to perfectly align on the wall (plus there would be small gaps between the...

    Hello fellow woodworkers I’m making MDF cabinets. The sides and tops are 9mm thick. How should I join them so it’s secure and the joinery is as little visible as possible? Best regards, Arnar Pétursson

    I’m new to this forum but not necessarily to woodworking. I’d like to make an exterior dining table which vaguely of resembles this photo (note photo is not mine. Credit is to Mezworks). Anyway, my question is about how to edge join the long lumber pieces while maintaining a consistent 1/4” gap...

Also thanks in advance for any and all members who take the time to read these posts and comment with their knowledge and expertise.

    I've made the classic mistake of not doing a mock up. I have cut my crossheads to size with a 31 degree angle at 45 degrees. That is, the bottom of the piece, against the window trim exactly matches the max window trim width and then goes out at an angle at 31 degrees. When I try and...

    Hi there! First-time poster, long time reader :) I'm working on a butcher block countertop island. When it is finished it will be 8ft by about 5ft. There is an 8"x16" post and a sink in the middle of the island. (I know that butcher block is not ideal for a sink placement, but our budget is...

    I've got a teeny tiny little shop and am in the early days of kitting it out. We've got a table saw, a mitre saw, an orbital sander, and some hand tools. I don't know that we're ever going to have room for a jointer, and while I'd love a benchtop planer we don't have that at the moment either...

    Greetings to all! My name is Alex, I want to show you my work. Working on wood is my hobby, so do not judge strictly, I am often not happy with the result of my work. Look at my gift to my sons. I did this work at the end of last year. What do you say? Have a nice day

    I'm making an octogon frame for an antique mirror, so it is heavy. I'm considering just using splines but like challenging joints and would like to try something new. What would you use?

    Hello all I have received an antique rocking chair for repair. The owner of the chair has children that accidentally broke the of this chair while using it. She says that she used it as a child, her mother had it as a child and the grandmother before that. The grandmothers childhood was...
  12. Wood Finishing
    Hey Guys, I'm having an issue with ridges forming along my joinery lines after I have completed a glued up table top. My boards are square edged and glued up flat with no filling. These ridges form between a month or 2 months after I have completely finished the project. So I end with a...

    This DIY dog feeding station plan can be a great way to spoil your dog. It's actually a fairly complex build for something as seemingly simple as a stand for a couple of dog bowls. On the other hand, this piece can be a great introduction for you to cabinetry-making...

    I am designing a bed frame with some Japanese style joinery and dovetails, I want to make the slats for the bed and connect them to the bed using dovetail T-Halving joints and I wonder whether that will support the weight of the bed and two people without a brace down the center. Picture for...

    I recently glued up a walnut, 3/4" thick table top roughly 5' x 32". I used Titebond III and biscuits to join the boards together. I finished it with ArmRSeal on all sides and everything turned out great. I have a metal pedestal base that I will be mounting the table top onto. The metal base...

    I'm making a replica restoration hardware balustrade coffee table for the wife. I've seen a number of DIY blogs that show the process, however I find most to take cheap shortcuts (like using all pocket screws to attach join the panels) which don't account for wood movement, etc. Here's an...
