A Bandsaw Sled Like No Other // Resawing, Crosscutting: I've Never Had This MUCH Control Before!
For years cutting cylindrical things (be it length wise or crosscutting) was a daunting task for me. I've twisted blades and damaged projects thinking I could keep my stock from being yanked and torn from my hands by the bandsaw blade. This thing is a game changer now! Not only can I now cut dowels of any sizes, I can safely cut rounded logs in half easily, shape square or off balanced stock that'll go on my lathe...with so much more future potential!
Material and Tool list (some):
(2) 4" x 6" x 3/4" pieces of wood.
(2) 1/4" t-nuts
(2) 1/4" x 3/4" Flat countersink bolts
1/2" dowels

The Nautical Timepiece // Bending Wood Without Steam Experiment
With the #rocklerbentwoodchallenge here I thought I'd try my hand at bending wood. In the past I've used steam but boiling water and the steaming process seemed to give me little time to get the wood where I wanted it before bending abilities lessened. This started as a test that really ended up great!

Panel Clamps // Stop Paying for Overpriced Tools!
Do you have a cutting board that needs to be clamped, or a panel that needs to be glued up? Now you can save yourself a ton of cash by making your own! EMT conduit is incredibly cheap and is strong as steel. This is a fun project that will give you a sense of pride after finishing it.

The Dowel Table
I can't say enough about this table I built a year ago. It's strong, durable and cost less than $100 in materials. If you're looking to make your own table, give this video a view.

STOP Using Handles on Your CLAMPS!
I know it seems impossible, but there's a very good reason why I chose to not make handles for my clamps. This isn't clickbait. These clamps were created to solve a common problem that I got tired of battling with handles. Rather than waiting for some manufacture to fix the problem, I found my own solution.

Router on Rails!
I made something similar to this about 5 years ago when I made my first 2x4 table. It's incredibly easy to get a surface flat and perfect. This router rails incorporates my router from my router table set up by making it easy to move my router straight from my table.
