Hand Crafted Woodworking
Now that I have the new Assembly / finish / glue up table completed, I am using it to finish all of the parts for the Cutting Table. They are LOT of panels that have to be finished. So I needed a Drying Rack. Materials: 2×6 from Home Depot. Jointed on one side so it […]
I do not often re-post stuff, but this video, blogged By Don Williams is just excellent. Don’s blog is one of the great ones. I am posting the link here so your will be directed toYouTube where the size is better. This is NOT in english, which just make you pay more attention. You will […]
I have been looking at the area in my shop, I call the finish area. It has been a collector of junk at times. Recently I put a small folding table with a 30×60″ piece of plywood on top. I found this very useful for assembly, gluing and finishing. So I took […]
The Plan As part of the new crafts room for my wonderful wife, she has requested a sewing cutting table with storage. We looked at many pictures and the design was taken from the idea of two bookshelves under a 3 x 5 ft top. Many of the designs featured using Ikea book […]

As I was working on WorkBench TWO, I pushed my router a too hard and burned the main bearing in my Dewalt DW618 router. This blog will describe in 48 pictures with commentary how to replace this bearing. I was not able to find any post that directly addressed this problem. This is […]
The Workbench is complete ! History I built my first workbench, Workbench ONE, in 2003. I have built many projects using this bench. It served me well. As I built these projects the “Roubo” workbench revolution in woodworking was underway. Chris Schwarz wrote his first book. Everyone was ( and still are ) […]
We are getting to the end. Today is finishing installing the twin vise and the shelf boards. The twin vise installation for hardware had been completed with the bench up-side down. This enabled me to do precision work will all of the hardware alignment, mounting the vise back boards and drilling the various […]
Today we are bringing the workbench top and the base together. It is a BIG day in this build. The bench base and top have been mated during the construction process, but upside down. I did actually attach the base to insure the precision lineup of all of the vise parts both mechanical […]
