Make An End Table w/ A Kreg Jig® & A Drill (ep46)
Woodworking may be a pastime I can take for granted at times. People that see the hobby as either too expensive or too difficult to get into could easily be discouraged.

Spoon Making Router Jig (ep43) Kitchen Utensil Challenge 2015

FerryTalk – BIG WOOD SLAB & Drill Press Table, Welders & Maritime (FT16)
Not too long ago Matt Cremona gave me a big slab of white oak while visiting him. I am debating what exactly to make out of it. A welder would come in real handy to make some nice tubular steel legs for it. I would prefer for the wood to be the attention grabber and […]
