http://thecarpentryway.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Designing and building structures with solid wood, emphasizing joinery without glue or metal fasteners. Thursday, April 30, 2015. Some two and a half years ago I wrote a couple of posts on my dust collection system, and experiences with a couple of companies supplying products in that arena. The first post in that series can be found here. Part II is linked at the bottom of that entry. It was also a nice day for a drive and traffic was light, so we were down there in less than 2 hours:. The can make some...

Designing and building structures with solid wood, emphasizing joinery without glue or metal fasteners. Tuesday, December 30, 2014.

That was a load off my mind, let me tell you. I prefer this saw to the more commonly available 405mm ve...

http://thecarpentryway.blogspot.com/2015/07/packing-it-in.html

Designing and building structures with solid wood, emphasizing joinery without glue or metal fasteners. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. A Ming-inspired Cabinet (4). A lot of people tell me, after seeing the work I do, that they could never do that because they "simply don't have the patience". Well, I've got news for you: I struggle with patience too! To those of a more impatient mindset, who prefer spontaneity to planning (and why is. Taking loads to time to wring out a design might be thought of as 'over-anayl...
