Don't see this enough these days.  In reference to Made in the USA

Finished up the table I've been working on.  No screws or nails.  Put together with mortise and tenon joints and walnut dowels.

Some table process shots.  Hand-planing the table top. Table leg tenon. And Before and After hand cut butterfly inlay's.

Test run of my homemade Matthias Wandel Finger joint jig.  (www.woodgears.ca for the plans for this jig and a ton of other awesome stuff).  These are 1/4 in. finger joints and they ended up fitting perfectly together after I ripped this board.

In case you ever wondered what the inside of an old skool chaise lounge looked like.  This was one of the most uncomfortable pieces of furniture I ever sat on and after cutting it apart to see it's inner workings . . .well it all makes sense.

Cutting out parts to some table legs for next project.

Putting some finishing touches on my Matthias Wandel jig, hoping to test run it this weekend.

Trying to un-jam this cash register that I very successfully jammed.

Starting to sand and oil the ole stock pile

Changed out the bottom of the printing press drawer table with new bracing because I never like the old one.  Pretty happy with how the angles turned out.

And changed the bracing for the wine rack as we never liked that either.

Never Really loved the design of this nightstand table (side view)

Spent the day cutting it up, just to put it back together

The only downside of working with reclaimed lumber is the warped, bent, crooked, overall jacked up wood aspect of some of the lumber.  One way to deal with this problem is to clamp the piece with all your clamps til it's true and get a couple screws in it.  Works every time.

About half done with reassembly . . . .

Below is what is left of my original wine rack design, after it met an unfortunate end by my own hand.

Alas, I like the new design better.

And my Letter J turned out nice, the J enjoys hanging out with the reclining nude.

Attempt of the day was to make a wall mounted wine rack out of only one piece of wood 8 1/4 inches wide by 2 ft long.  Process shots.

Marks before I cut the whole slab in half

Leftover circles will become mounted holders for small end of bottle

Shop Tip 101:  What do you do when you don't own a protective holder for your ipod and it will most likely break when you shove it in the ass pocket of you pants to build wood products in your shop?

Answer :  Find the beer cozy you got in New Orleans shove the sucker in there put it in your pocket and it's now protected better than the New York Times newspaper passwords.
