Ha……I haven’t seen the top of my wife’s desk since I installed it in her home office!!

Nice job! I really like the veneer. Well done!! I made a live edge walnut slab version of the sit/stand desk for my wife about a year ago. Jim C.

Well, this is a topic that has no end. Responses will vary depending on the individual who is giving advice. A relatively new woodworker can’t draw on the amount of experience that a person with decades of experience may possess. I guess some things are common sense regardless of your...

Here’s a console table I made a couple years ago for my wife’s ”zen room.” Jim C.

I acquired several more since I started the thread. Some I use more than others but I’d say my #422 gets used the most. Jim C.

I don’t know about a particular saw to recommend, but you have a great work space with a lot of natural light. I’m envious. I think you’re on the right track by looking for a sliding table saw. I don’t know which saw or brand, but if I was making things from sheet material, I’d get a sliding...

While I really like making cabinets and furniture, sometimes I just have to make functional things. I made this ramp for our dachshunds. If you know anything about these dogs then you know that going up and down steps is really hard on their backs, bringing all sorts of problems to include...

Pretty much done. I just need to tuck in all the wires. Jim C.

I’m making progress. Jim C.

With the help of a few guys here on the GJ, I finished the 1954 Cman mechanics set. Jim C.

My son lives in an old building that was converted into apartments. The stairs in the building are steep and narrow. He lives on the third floor and there’s no elevator! Every piece of furniture that goes up there has to be carefully measured and preferably modular to make it up those stairs...

And another jewelry box I made for my daughter in law….. The top was made from a solid block of wood. Jim C.

I made this jewelry box for my wife a few years ago. Jim C.

I have a walnut s lab on my bench right now. It’s destined to be a desktop hopefully in a couple weeks Jim C.

I made this observation bee hive for the local beekeepers association. I’m a member. What I’ve discovered is that I’m a lot better at making the hives than I am at actually keeping the bees. Jim C.

George, you got me started on collecting these wrenches. That was a while back. As you know, it’s a very tough set to complete. With eight wrenches still to find, I do wonder if I’ll ever finish it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a complete set. Like you, I do occasionally use them, mostly to...

The Stanley #112 is probably one of the best planes Stanley ever made. You can’t say that about every Stanley plane ever made, but the #112 is a winner. That’s a nice one to add to your collection. Jim C.

Yeah, I had to Google it. I never heard of it. Nice job on the boards! Jim C.

Many thanks! It was an interesting project. Jim C.

A lady I know asked me if I had ever used a skateboard, of all things, in any of my projects. I think she knew I had not. I know there are people out there who do a lot with unusual materials, like skateboards. Not long after the conversation, I went to see her, and she surprised me with two...
