Shopsmith Forums

Well, due to our now two month old my shop is collecting more dust than usual but I did manage to make a small project the other day so I thought I would share it here. It is a growth chart that I made from a piece of clear pine and cut all the pieces out of scrap. Rather than nailing the pieces on ...

I have been composting my sawdust at the local land fill so I did some searching to try to find more ideas but the only idea I thought had any value was to put sawdust in the paths of your garden to stop weeds from growing. I don't have that big of a garden so I'll keep composting at the landfill ...

I agree with Chuck Wow that is really nice work and I cannot come close to matching the efficiency. 5 days is amazing.

I just assumed I shouldn't get it on my hands.

OK new question.
on another thread the consensus was to use Shellac for a crib. Can I use shellac over the butcher block oil that I have already applied?

I’ve been searching the internet for a set of high chair plans (i.e. Rockler) but I’m not finding anything my wife and I can agree on so I’m looking for more resources. Anyone have any suggestions? My wife also wants the high chair to have a plastic tray. She likes the tray on the Eddie Bauer chair ...

I have been using a butcher block finish for my projects and the can says just wipe on. So I purchased some basic plastic gloves at home depot. Ok stop laughing, they only last a few minutes before falling apart. What should I be using and where can I purchase them?

Two years ago my son-in-law attended a bowl turning class taught by the well known segmented bowl turner and author Malcom Tibbets. In the class my son-in-law mentioned that he intended to get a stamp to identify his bowls. With this comment he was mildly rebuked by Tibbets, who said "artists SIGN ...
