My local dealer got me this chunk..  The BF stuff is in the shop.  Finding a bullet in a tree is not that unusual.

Just a .22 so, probably a squirrel hunter or target shooter.

Guess I’ve gotten lucky thru the dealer I use then. Now the man my granddad bought from all the time it was normal. So was nails or barb wire found this car tag from the 60’s in this tree hiking this past spring

 Very nice job

[Demilune Table]

Not surprised…… So you was expecting the walnut tree to be shot up?  I mean if you had gotten the lumber from a local guy with a sawmill I could understand. But you got it from a hw dealer or bf didn’t you.

I’m awful at shutting the tool drawers after I get a tool out while I’m working. So I have all them about 5’ behind in 2 different low cabinets. That way when I don’t shut a drawer I’m not hitting my knee or shin on them. 😁

[Where to find velvet ring holders?]

Amazon is always the answer 😁

I think I come in just under you on my bench at $900 with the hardware. With 3 1/2” soft maple top an popular base. I didn’t build a base cabinet under it tho. Which to be honest I don’t regret at all not building.  I may add a shelf one day.  I used the LV leg vise thread an bench craft crisscross.

Last question/comment for the night. I really like this build and have a great place for it in our bedroom below a painting my wife just bought. Question to you and others, especially those that have used qtr sawn sycamore. All of our bedroom furniture is walnut, aside from the new pinkish armoire. Would legs and aprons made from sycamore that I got from @Spankyand a walnut top, look out of place? I also have some nice butternut, also from @Spanky, that could be used for the base. I also have enough walnut for the whole thing? 

I’m leaning towards the sycamore but hell, I painted a piece pink, so what do I know! 🤭

I would use the butternut if you are going to use a different species for the legs. The sycamore that I have seen looks better paired with a similar color wood since it’s grain is so much different

Hah! after reading Tmize comment I will skip this one for now since I have a 7 and 5 year old so they need to be a little tougher. 

 

 

 

ordered 1 of these to test out and see how it goes. will order more if they work as good as they look to in the pictures.

 

Will let you know my thoughts once they get installed ... they show up on Thursday so I think Friday I should have time to get to it.

If it can be broke, kids will figure out how to do it by (accident)😆

[Ideas on mud room walls]

I think what kev showed would work better. We have the once’s that coop linked an they work great for about a year then you just have to keep fiddling with them to lock in place. Of course we have kids an they could have just broke them an I just haven’t noticed enough. 🤔

[Ideas on mud room walls]

Both my houses have had basement an you just tend to buy more crap. If you have extra no matter how much extra you think it is you will fill it up an wonder where it all went. 
 

I’ll be starting a mud room type build in our garage here this winter. My wife has been designing for close to 2 years now. 

[Sled Time]

I know I really need to get more creative with my ts use than just putting a parallel edge on a board 😆

[Sled Time]

I’ve got a bunch of t track I bought months ago. I was planning on building several jigs with it. I guess sooner or later I need to get back in the shop an build them. I will definitely go thru this thread when I get the time some real good jigs in here. 

[M18 weed eater]

I bought one of these about a month ago. An I love it the is only comparable to the Sthil commercial grade weed eater my dad has. I’ve always ran Milwaukee tools at work an have slowly been picking up a lot of there tools I don’t have at work for the house.
 

Their nail guns are awesome to for a battery power. I bought the 16gauge finish nailer for trim work around the house. Got tried of dragging the pancake compressor around. The paper work says it will shoot about 325 nails on one battery. I haven’t tested yet but I shot around 100 today a went down only one bar on battery life with a 5.0 battery

[Kitchen Cart]

Only to options I see left since it is already cut to fit is pocket hole into the legs or dowels. I like the flag👍

Welcome to forum. 

[Master Bedroom Furniture]

I agree with Bryan the faux tenon thru the front was to busy. The way you cleaned it up took the piece to another level great job. 

[River top desk]

I hate I missed this build you did I great job on it. The note from your daughter makes it so much better. 

[Bedroom Armoire]

Ok I’ve read thru this way more times than I care to admit 😁. I think if you make the rear leg wider so the panels line up at the rear only will solve the portion issue you are seeing. The front will still offset that is normal in on stand furniture. You could either do I wider leg or add a stile next to the leg to match up with the width of the of the stile on the cabinet. 
 

Let me know if I’m close on what you was asking. 

[Dining chairs]

Those turned out awesome. Great job

Congrats on the retirement. 6 whole days a month extra shop days a month.?. Enjoy it and everything else to the fullest.

For drawers like this I like to use hardboard insert's. They are cheap and easy to reconfigure or remake if things change. here is one example

That is the way must all my other drawers are done. I use luan plywood instead I run them thru the table saw an half lap them on either 1” or 2” centers depending on what IM putting in the drawer

[Trying to get organized]

I figured I would bring this thread back from the grave. To all the organization experts out there I’ve been going thru all my drawers one by one over the past few months. I’ve been building dividers an trays to get everything in neat order. I come to my saw files,rasps and other files an I’m lost on this one. I got the veratis saw file roll an it’s great up I keep a surplus of my most common files that want fit in the roll. Any suggestions?

[Magnet question]

Since it will be on the floor I don’t think you will have the problem I was talking about. Let us know how it goes.
