Re: Great Idea or Just Madness...

I am officially finished with this project. Although I do have space left over for some other "stuff" in the future. But as of now, I haven't decided how to use the space. The drawers are mostly filled at this point, but I will probably be re-arranging things as I go. For the items readily...

Re: Great Idea or Just Madness...

The height is 37 1/2" from the bottom of the casters to the top of the table. I am working on the finish for the top table now. I turned some spindles just under the OD of the extension tubes and mounted them to the underside of the the top table so that I can hang the two floating tables. This...

Re: Great Idea or Just Madness...

Its finally on the ground! I have mounted the top table but still need some final sanding and finishing. I used the three SPT mounts I have on hand to mock up what it should look like. Nothing is tied down yet. But this is starting take the form of the vision I've had floating around in my head for ...

Re: Mike Young's Upcoming Demo

I too attended his demo online about two years ago. Since then I have been able to make several purchases through him; all with discounts. Most recent was about 8 months ago when he helped me pick out a lathe chuck. Not only do you get a discount but he can help you make the right selections on thin...

Re: Great Idea or Just Madness...

Well, except for finishing, the cabinets and drawers are finished. Since I had used baltic birch for the cabinet carcasses, I was looking for something that would go well with it. I found a good price on some "rustic hickory" which means it had knots that went all the way through the board...

Re: Shopsmith "Self Study Course"

I’ve seen a few of your videos, including the one where you talk about this project. I too was a bit worried you’d run afoul of SS Hq but it looks like you’ve taken care of that. I would love to see the finished product. I will be looking out for it.

Re: Great Idea or Just Madness...

The drawers are installed and I will be working next on drawer fronts. I got a good deal on some hickory, but I underestimated and will need to get a little bit more to have enough for the drawer fronts. I'm happy with the way the drawers work. I put some double sided tape on a few scraps of wood to...

Great work. The supports between the seat and the back are absolutely gorgeous.

Re: Great Idea or Just Madness...

I am still stuck in “drawer purgatory” but I am now ready to install them. Prior to gluing them up, I decided to build Nick Engler’s gluing jig. Here is a link to The Workshop Companion website: https://workshopcompanionstore.com/ This is a fantastic gluing jig and provides a dead flat surface with ...
