Hello everyone does anybody use arm protective sleeves? My arms are getting beat up with bruises and scrapes does anyone have suggestion besides wearing long sleeve shirts?

Hey I got a realtor friend that is looking for some house warming gifts for her clients. Im looking to do something small and cheaper just cuz she is a friend but Iwas wondering if anyone had any kewl ideas. Thanks

This was my first attempt to build “nice” furniture suitable for a living room. My daughter asked me to make her a pair of nested end tables. All I had for a design was a picture she downloaded off of the internet. I wanted to use some oak I had on hand that was rough cut at 1” thick and 8” wide. I milled it to about 3/4” thick and 7” wide. Then I doubled it up to get the desired thickness and joined 3 boards abreast to get the dimensions I needed. As a result each side and top consisted of 6 boards. I cut a mitered butt joint to bring all the pieces together. X 4. I finished with a stain and polyurethane to protect the wood from her young children. The result were 2 beautiful sets of nested end tables.

Hello! I joined recently and am eager to learn more about wood working. I’m just curious, are there any violin makers in this group? I fixed instruments as a side job, and was wondering if anyone here also repaired or built them?

I am proud of the desk that I made for my grandsons. The finish I applied came out better than expected
