woodworking

I know it’s pretty basic but doing the laminated top has really been kicking my butt. I chose to make it from pine as she repairs rugs and sometimes needs to nail them to her bench and this should be easy to nail into and pull the nails back out of. I’m going to apply some poly to the top and hopefully I can finally sign off...

Hi everyone,...

I’m new to wood working and am looking for relatively cheap sources of wood and was wondering if anybody has ever used used liquor barrels. Are these even cheap? I’d probably use it to make small furniture or planters. Anything I should know in particular or resources I could look into? Thanks!

I guess I got the finish to look okay on the pine legs and such. Looks great on the oak tops and shelves. Sat down to draw these on Nov 1 and they’re finally next to my couch....
