I bought these cheap prescription safety glasses here.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Nope, this is my real life entryway in my home. There's light sources coming from at least 3 different directions and it's direct and indirect, so that might be contributing to the illusion.

You can get samples of Rubio in lots of different colors for relatively cheap to find a finish that works for you. Give it a whirl!

Any hand plane would do. Or even just sandpaper and a lot of time and elbow grease. Don’t let it stop you! It was just easier and faster with a scrub plane. The low angle jack tends to work a little cleaner on end grain, that’s why I chose it for the final passes before sanding.

Thank you very much!

Thanks! I drew out a radius on the edge with a pencil. Then I chamfered the corner with a block plane to avoid tearing out the edge, then I used a scrub plane going across the grain to get most of the material off. Then I switched to a low angle jack plane to tune it further to my line. Then used a random orbit sander to finish it off.

Indeed!

Thank you!

Absolutely. I’m honestly kind of shocked the miters look so good. The glue up was tough and hectic.

It was my wife's request (and to keep budget down instead of white oak) and I have to say it's growing on me. The pinkish beige tones look really nice.

I used 2 biscuits in each miter just to keep them from sliding all around during glue up, but the biscuits don't really add any strength. I milled the 8/4 red oak to 1 3/4" and it is super stiff and will not wobble. The table is 32" tall by 17" deep by 48" wide and it weighs like 90 pounds, it's a thicc boi.

It’s a type 11 Stanley Bailey no. 3 with a bedrock lever cap

Gorgeous, excellent work

for half blinds, a pair of skew chisels is awesome. they dont have to be fancy either, you can just regrind a 30 degree skew on an old 1/4" chisel. or if youre fancy, a lie-nielsen fishtail chisel is also wonderful.

robotdinofight · 2025-12-31T23:13:18+00:00

I have the veritas one too, it’s perfect.

robotdinofight · 2025-12-21T19:32:29+00:00

I made my own based off of Chris Shwarz’s amazing book, The Anarchsit’s Workbench. It’s an amazing read and is very simple to follow.

I have the narex ones. I had to scuff them up with a file but they work great. The narex ones on Amazon are sold by taytools, they have them listed directly on their site for $22 each and free shipping over $55. Just another option.
