It is possible the marks were made by a foot like this., but I would agree with the lathe center guess.

I have a brand new can and one slightly used as well. Retirement here I come.

The only time I use plans is if I need to submit something for a building permit. For most of my projects, I may have a sketch and rough dimensions unless it needs to fit a specific space. With a couple of exceptions, any jigs I've built have been one time use for a specific task and usually disasse...

It isn't generally recommended because the pins and tails are relatively weak when made from plywood or particle board. For plywood drawers, use either tongue & groove or dowels or dominos.

As I was researching this morning to solve my own dilemma, I found a couple of options if you plan on using pocket holes and screws. I typically use dominos for face frames but may need to go the pocket hole route for this build. Kreg has a clamp that engages one of the pocket hols and clamps the jo...

I have the same clamp you do and it has probably been a decade since I last used it. The only other face frame clamp I've ever seen was for camping the face frames of two completed cabinets together and flush for installation. I now use a pair of wedges for each joint, I screw one onto the table and...
