Plasma Water Table Journey #1
This is the first in many posts on my Plasma Water Table Journey. My first day cutting the top frame and my thoughts.
ULTIMATE “Small Shop” MITER STATION
A reflection on the miter station I made 2 years ago and how it has been a game changer for shop work flow and organization. Get the plans!
Evolution S380 CPS Metal Chop Saw
With the upcoming project on building my plasma water table, I didn’t have a real efficient means to cutting metal. I had a Porter Cable abrasive chop saw, but that was not even close to what I needed. And adding another tool to the shop is a delight! So I did research and found a…
SCWD 2023 SHOP TOUR
So it’s been roughly seven years since I’ve started this adventure in woodworking and with the addition of metalworking I felt it was time to give a shop tour of my humble attempt at being a woodworker/metalworker. The title doesn’t necessarily mean I’m a professional. It just means that I work with those materials. Shop…
PrimeWeld Cut60 Plasma Cutter
As I slowly add more tools to my shop, I’ve decided to take on another trade in regards to metalworking. I started out with a Hobart IronMan 230 Mig welder, and now I’m acquiring various tools that are involved in the metalworking trade. It’s exciting that I’m getting to do this stuff in my garage…
NANPU 1/2″ NPT Industrial Grade 3 Stage Air Drying System
I ordered a PrimeWeld Cut60 Plama Cutter and recently found out that my compressor was below the threshold for the required 5.1 SCFM and 25 gallons. I also have never owned a Air Filtration system. So I did some research and found a product called the Nanpu 1/2″ NPT Industrial Grade 3 Stage Air Drying…
Barn Doors
My neighbors caught wind that I dabbled in woodworking and asked if I could make them some barn doors in their hallway office/den area. I was honored they had faith in me and trusted me to do a good job. I will tell you that barn doors are very difficult to get right because they…
1945 Atlas Drill Press – Model 73
I was given an Atlas drill press some time ago. It did the job, but it wasn’t until I watched some restore episodes on YouTube that I realized I had a jewel right in my own shop. I sort of felt ashamed that I didn’t appreciate the value in restoring things. Let me tell you…
MiterStation Fence System
There has been a long pause on the channel due to many variables. The most important one is we moved to a new home and the adjustment has taken a lot of my focus away from woodworking. However, I’ve managed to get full rein of the garage and have started to create a workflow with…
Hot Glue Gun Station
I was in the shop using my hot glue gun and finally decided to make a holder which turned into an elaborate station. I definitely experienced OCD on this project. I tried to think of every conceivable thing that I would need in the future. I didn’t want to do what everyone else had done….
Modern Farmhouse Nightstands
After completing the farmhouse king bed project, we wanted to continue the momentum and start the nightstand project. We fired up Sketchup and started a design my wife liked. Originally, we planned to have a smaller drawer on the top, but as we built, things changed. What happened is, I figured we had enough wood…
Farmhouse King Bed
It was something we talked about numerous times, but this time we were serious. I formulated a plan and fired up Sketchup. I really love that program. You can customize everything to your own needs and specifications. Our bedroom was in need of a remodel. For the longest time our California King mattress was on…
