Make a template pattern the size of hole you need thick enough1/4-3/8 thick wood or plastic. Use a flush trim router bit to clean up rough jig saw cut out. Or router baseplate bearing and straight bit

Love making boxes. Who doesn't need a box. They display the unique qualities of wood in useful, practical, or not, ways. I like making shadow boxes

New to blu, kicked off FB, too explicit about 2nd term chaos and criminality and was looking for woodworkers when I came across your posts. Live in the moment and enjoy your day!

I could be making an assumption, but the photo suggest she is a women. Has "Senator" Lummis been living under a rock? These old pedophiles were/are fucking her underage gender?!? And, her attitude is "I don't care. I don't see what the big deal is"?!?! Another reason not to vote for any republican

I just cannot check the "love" box for this post. I am too ashamed and disgusted and angry this is the face of usa.

As a woodworker, tell other woodworkers, you sand all projects through 22 levels of grit, 60-10000. Some so astonished panties must be changed before typing a response to me.

Not enough space to be real clear so I hope I'm understood. But it is only a suggestion. Set and glue your old stuff first. My suggestion only strengthens the joint

Looking at the failure the dowels appear to only insert 1/2 depth of leg For added strength, drill small hole through bottom of dowel hole{location guidance only}, Select smaller dia hardwood dowel and drill from outside the leg, through and into old dowels, at least depth of leg, set glue sand

Black or honey? both glow under black light, best observed when freshly cut

Living rent free in someone's head would be easier if they served an occasional snack.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do when ya need to do it and being comfortable is not over rated! Cheap is good. Personally, never used a bench so nicely put together. Mine have always been repurposed buffets/desks/bath vanities, on lock down casters with a slab of ply or MDF screwed to the top
