I could imagine a book case or shelving unit where the adjustable shelves are held up by wooden bolts through the sides of the carcass. That would be such a cool item in a boy’s bedroom or in a bar/man cave.

Wow! Amazing! Really tight tolerances there. The low speed smoothness is also impressive.

Don't be fooled. Last night's benchtalk was still going at 3 am. :sneaky:

Welcome aboard. I'm new here myself and have found this to be a good forum for great information and advice.

This story is quite inspirational.

That's impressive! Your first post and you write an entire autobiography. 😁

A quick search on Amazon got me this. Total Boat seems to be the holy grail in boat building circles, there may be competition worth checking out. I haven't done any research.

I wasn't thinking of pouring epoxy, but giving it several protective, thin coats.

I don't have any personal experience, but have been following a number of boat building on YouTube. The wood species I see most commonly used are purple heart, cedar and white oak. Then a marine varnish such as Total Boat should be good enough. At least UV damage wouldn't be a factor in a...

Yes, the shelf/coat rack I made for my daughter for Christmas required a couple of hours in our spare bedroom to get the glue to set. Perhaps those tricky glue ups that are a race against time before the glue starts going off are better suited to the winter months.

Well done with the creative way you used a piece that was essentially firewood.

Here is a Lost Art Press interview with Barbie herself. I'm still looking for the one with the creator.

He is Swiss and was interviewed by a woodworking magazine. I'll see if I can find a link to the article.

As a 56 year old man, without any shame or embarrassment, I am going to recommend that you have a look at this Instagram account. It showcases excellent craftsmanship in a skillfully narrated storyline following Barbie's journey into woodworking. It is full of humour and clever nods to real...

I too am a bit of a hoarder. Especially brass - screws, hinges, latches etc. One never knows when you'll need it. I have promised myself that one day I'll get them properly organised.

Wedged tenons for the win! They always look smart. Nice work.

Thank you for your kind words John.

Exactly my experience. Fortunately I have a fine patio which becomes my summer/fair weather workspace. As you can see, it's currently slightly chilly out there.

If you like the Fat Max then check out the Stanley Tylon, it has similar styling but not as chunky.
