Sharpening is a Response

I think that it is a true thing that we should make a saying of; most of us wait until the tool won’t cut well before we decide to sharpen our tools. Pushing dulled tools to the limit is not just pushing the tool to its limit but also the wood and our bodies. Woodworking…

Modern Kitchen Table by Philip Morley

This past Summer I traveled to Texas to work with Philip Morley on his Kitchen Table project for the Guild. You can purchase access to the full series and plans here.  Philip has an incredible design sense and there’s something about his furniture that just speaks to me. At first glance, you might think this table is pretty simple but the devil’s in the details. I hope you enjoy this look at Philips woodworking process.

You can follow Philip on Instagram or on his website.

Sharpen More Often

There is no prescription for how often a saw goes dull or how often you should need to sharpen this or that saw. Truth is for most of us, in reality, is that we are more likely to sharpen less often than too often. The reason for this is that tools still cut surprisingly well…

If You Need a Reason

I’ve spoken often on the benefits of physical work over a workout and then too in view of their being more sedentary work than ever in the history of our world. You don’t need to go back much more than a century to find 90% of working-age people were engaged in physically demanding work. I…

It’s All in the Joinery

It’s all too easy to take accuracy for granted, especially when you’ve been cutting them for so long.

Reality is I have simply come to know…

Following the Dream

In school at 14 a dream emerged slowly and took deep root. It wasn’t a nighttime dream, every day I looked, stared and listened out through the open window of the classroom in search of kestrels and skylarks high and then wagtails on the playground below. I loved the late spring when the warmer weather…

Multi-Function Mobile Cart For Festool MFT

Festool makes some great tools and accessories but they are usually geared toward the mobile craftsperson. One such tool that has been a game-changer for me in terms of how I process sheetgoods is the Multi-Function Table or MFT. The unit is loaded with work-holding features but because it needs to be mobile, it’s fairly light and features fold out legs similar to a card table. I really wanted something more stable. Furthermore, there are a lot of tools and accessories that go hand in hand with the MFT and it would be nice to have storage for those thing right next to the MFT. With all of this in mind, I designed my Multi-Function Cart for Festool MFT.

While this cart is obviously purpose-built for the MFT, it’s also quite useful for non-Festool woodworkers. It can easily function as a mobile assembly table, a mobile work cart, or you can raise the height a bit and have a very serviceable outfeed table.

Diminishing Craft Value

Do you see more at 70 or are you blindsided by thinking you do? Are you dismissed by the younger because you are 70 or do you just think that you are? These are real questions. Some younger than me think I cling to hand tools because I didn’t yet discover the power of power…

Fancy Workbench Cabinet With String Inlay

I’m very lucky to have a large open wall behind my workbench. This is the place where I store most of my hand tools. There’s really nothing easier than simply reaching behind the bench to grab a plane a chisel, so I never felt inclined to build a storage bench that resides under the workbench. But ever since the introduction of the Split-Top Roubo Workbench, Guild members have been asking for a storage cabinet add-on so I finally decided to give it a go. If you want the set of plans and the full video series, go here.

My original plan was to make it utilitarian and practical, while using some nice wood for visual flare. Over time, the cabinet morphed into something much fancier than it was intended to be featuring string inlay, flush-mounted hardware, box joints, dovetails, and keyed miters.

After using the cabinet for a few months, I must say that I’m very happy with it. While having my chisels on the wall was easy, it turns out it’s even easier to pull them from a drawer that’s right in front of me instead of having to walk around to the back side of my bench. Furthermore, the sharpest blades in my collection are now tucked away inside drawers instead of hanging on a wall, which is a nice safety upgrade. All in all, it’s a great functional piece of furniture for the workshop that will last for generations. If you’d like more detail, consider purchasing this project in the Guild. 

Here are links to some of the hardware I used in this project:

• 8 pairs – 16″ Full Extension Slides (Black)
• 1 pair – Antique Brass Hinges (Dark Antique color)
• 9 Small Solid Brass Flush Mount Ring Pulls in Oil Rubbed Bronze

John’s Ashes Container

My mother in law asked if I’d be willing to build a simple container for my father in law’s ashes with enough space for hers eventually and this is what I came up with. It’s no great example of design, just a rectangular box with a raised panel lid and an interior divider, but his sense of style was always very restrained so my MIL was very pleased that his final resting place reflects that. I made it from a single board of Peruvian walnut reinforced with Dominos across the faces of the miter joints, a floating curly maple top panel, neodymium magnets to hold the lid closed, and a velvet lining in his favorite shade of dark green. The box is finished with Danish oil and paste wax since she didn’t want a shiny “plastic” finish instead of one that still feels like wood.

Elijah’s Breakfast Nook Table

Originally we had a small cherry table and chair set up in this space. It wasn’t awful but not the best use of space. I constructed the built-in benches with pine 2x4s and pocket holes to construct the frame. I used some left over store bought ship-lap being sure to not make it air tight. With a MDF top cut to size for the piano hinged seats, it was given a round over with a router and painted to match the rest of the benches. Quarter round trim was added and mitered into the existing trim to really make that built-in look. The table was a lot of firsts for me. I started with 8/4 hard maple, it was my first time using this type of wood and I was not ready for how hard it was to plane and mortise! Pretty tough stuff! The design was inspired by Norm’s shaker style knock down dining table, just on a smaller scale. I kept the stock pretty thick to keep the heavy feel, something I though would be necessary with the open frame design. Legs were tenon-ed and feet and “aprons?” were mortised out. I really love the tusked tenon for the stretcher, with the tusk made from some scrap walnut it adds just enough contrast. The top is a simple edge glued top attached by slotted dowel holes to allow for expansion. With a light chamfer and a few coats of lacquer it is finished! I tried to reach a flowing effect exposing the heartwood around the entire table, not sure if it was accomplished but I had fun working on it and that’s what counts!
