Salvaging Storm Damage
We had a particularly bad winter storm this past January. The storm started very windy and ended with ice. We lost power for 4 days and we had a tree fall on our house. Luckily the tree that fell in our house did not do very much damage as it just tipped over and touched the side of the roof. And luckily we had all of the branches trimmed off the next day which saved us from the tree being weighed down by the ice storm and crushing our house. I was able to mill up the tree into larger slabs. It is just pine but I'm sure I can find some projects to do with it. Later, through a neighbor, I found out about a large oak tree that had come down nearby. I milled up this red oak and was able to get a lot of turning blanks and small slabs out of it.

Making the Moon

I've done a handful of projects where I've taken a geometric solid like a dodecahedron or an icosahedron and made that shape out of flat parts. Once I had those parts glued together, I would wood turn that into a sphere. I'd like to continue studying this technique. I really like the idea of adding patterns to the parts that make up the solid before it gets woodturned and then those patterns sh...
Adding A Laser Cutter to My CNC
Переглядів 104 тис.3 місяці тому
I have been installing a laser cutter on the CNC machine. The laser cutter was sent to by Avid CNC. It's been a slow process over the last few months. The first step was installing the laser physically to the z-axis of the CNC machine. This went fairly straightforward as it was just following instructions and putting in screws. The other bigger project with this was updating my CNC control box....
Woodturning Segmented Candle Stands
Переглядів 99 тис.4 місяці тому
I have made a pair of candle stands for this year's Christmas ornament project. The stands are wood turned segmented pieces. I made them from a maple tree I cut up from my father-in-law's front yard. I have been wanting to do segmented turning where I angle the table saw blade while cutting the segments to give an angled pattern to the segments. I added a strip of purple heart wood to the rings...
We Need a Bigger Table

I have made an extension for our dining room table to accommodate all of the guests we are having this Thanksgiving. I wanted to make this extension as a stand alone table that will fit with our existing dining room table. When it is not extending our dining room table, it will either be the game table in the basement or it may be the outdoor table on our deck - if that ever gets built. I made ...
Woodturning a Platter with Thick Inlays
Переглядів 135 тис.6 місяців тому
What really intrigued me about building and using a CNC machine was the idea of being able to cut complex inlays that I could then wood turn. I've done several projects with this in mind, but in these projects I've always used a straight router bit to get a deep inlay. In woodturning, the inlay needs some thickness to be able to have a curved surface. What I've been trying to do over the last f...
Throwing a System Into My Wrenches
Переглядів 190 тис.7 місяців тому
A few years ago, I got a lot of wrenches at an auction. I think I have finally come up with a way to organize them. The wrenches have just been piled into the three yellow bins that they came in. This makes it difficult to find the correct wrench when I need it. What I would like to have is a way that the wrenches are displayed so I can see them and also organize them to make it easier to find ...
What am I going to do with this Massive Fir Ball?
Переглядів 93 тис.8 місяців тому
In 2019, I acquired a large chunk of fir from a tree I slabbed up. The piece of fir has been sitting outside next to the shop for the last 4 years. I finally pulled it out and decided instead of getting rid of it, I would turn it into a massive sphere. I had a little trouble getting it mounted on the lathe. I had to get a chuck spur so I would be able to hold the piece of fir on the lathe. I us...

Juggling Table Saws

In the middle of the shop, I have three table saws that are connected into one large table. Two of the saws are a Powermatic 72 and a Powermatic 66. These two saws I use all the time. They face each other; each is the outfeed table for the other saw. Next to these two saws, I have an Oliver 88 which I haven't used as much. In this project, I fixed the wobbly arbor on the Oliver 88, so the blade...

Why did my Bathroom Remodel Take 13 Years?

I have finally completed our 13-year bathroom remodel project. We started demoing our basement bathroom just after we moved into our house. We took out the sink and removed most of the drywall.

    😢 I planted so many varieties of Sunflowers and my landscapers went around and sprayed them all with weed killer. My fault as I should have marked them. I still have some seeds I am going to plant and make a bunch of your stakes. Then as the sunflower stalks grow I can tie to the stake. I usually do mark my seed plantings on scrap wood with a acrylic marker and seal with varnish so it is protected from the elements/fading.

    I love Franks videos, been watching them since the beginning like 7 years ago! But I’ve noticed one thing over time…. Does Frank not sand / router edges any of his projects? I understand he does for like his lathe turned bowls and furniture. But projects like this he doesn’t seem to! ( or he just doesn’t show it) I don’t blame him, sanding is the least motivating part of any project

    For about 3 1/2 years, I’ve been a woodworker. I really appreciate the detailed to your website. Very beautiful symmetry not only with your woodworking but your project as well. I am always looking for hardwood. I just met down at the local hardware store where I can get hardwood anytime from his tree service it takes a little bit ofcommunication and friendly Ness. I’m really loving it.

    12:49 Reminds me of a time I had to drop my truck off for repairs that would take a while. I RV full time so my truck is an important part of my home. But I also have a motorcycle. I had a friend give me a ride back from the shop after dropping off the truck that's about and hour and a half away and I was in my camper off of my truck until the truck was finished where I store it. I rode the motorcycle to go pick up the truck. They had a lift that I was able to load the bike into the back of the truck and bring the bike back. What I hadn't worked out was how to get the bike, at 1100CCs and almost 600lbs, out of the truck. Very near where I had my camper stored, there's a Home Depot quick walking distance away. So I pulled in back of the Home Depot where all the pallets are stored and made a ramp of about 26 of them and rolled my bike out of the pickup. Put all the pallets back where I found them then drove the truck to my camper, put the camper back on my truck, then walked to my bike and rode it back. Those are my favorite days, when I figure things out on the fly.

    If you have the moulah you can either get or commission someone (or make yourself if feel inclined) to make a lifting dolly. I would give you names, but (YT). It's basically exactly as your current dolly, but with the major factor that it has two tracks instead of its body and the platform lifts off the ground with the aid of a winch (some are electric, some use winches just like the one you used). In theory, you can make one yourself with aluminium extrusions, but ... i find that those can be finicky to make as a first time project and considering the expense on those customized parts, it's probably best to look for a secondhand unit.

    Glad the cutter head was free, but it may not be worth the price you paid. I purchased one, the drive pinion pulled the threads out of the head on the first day of use. Sent it back, yup, they confirmed the threads were gone and the offered to sell me a new one at a 20% discount. Fool me once, shame on you. Twice, shame on me. They have the defective cutter head and my money. I reinstalled the old cutter head and bought new straight blades. Thanks Lux! Real stand up company.
