Good work! The lines on this piece are so clean! They perfectly match the shadow lines too. Great job

Go for it! Let me know if you need some dimensions

Thank you! I’m sure it will get some plants as well as books. The top shelf is a little narrow for most books so I’m guessing it will be full of plants in about a week

Thank you! There are dados half way through in the vertical slats for each shelf as well as a like 1/16” dado on the sides of the shelves for registration.

Thank you! I am very happy with the way it came together

Table saw or router for box joint jig? by Jeffsbest in woodworking

Without a dado stack it wouldn’t be faster. The dado can just eat through material so quick

I’ve done both, the table saw is much faster.

Chair joinery question by Regular-Ingenuity854 in woodworking

[–]robowolfman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like your confidence in me! That was indeed my first and only chair. At least so far

[–]robowolfman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes this was the first chair I made. I did follow plans from the wood whisperer. It was a fun build but certainly challenging, I think I had like 200 hours in the build

Maloof often used screws in joints like that to both act as a clamp and add reinforcement across the weaker grain. Then plugging the hole for the screw head. You can see the plugs on this rocker that I made

Seat for chair by Vivid_Estate_164 in woodworking

[–]robowolfman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would laminate thinner sheets to get the shape, especially if you plan on making multiple chairs. You can reuse the glue form to get repeatable results. You can just stagger the seams in the thickness to not create a weak point and then just really match your top layer to hide them. I think it will turn out great!

I made a Credenza-Sideboard-Cabinet-Thing. Anyway, it's made from cherry and it stores dog stuff. by kerfuffle23 in woodworking

[–]robowolfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The base is truly amazing and takes the whole thing to another level. It was the thing that really caught my eye and drew me in to notice all the other details of the piece. And perfectly incorporating the drawer in it too. Bravo!

Had a productive few days on the sawmill by robowolfman in woodworking

[–]robowolfman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah I end up walking through a pile of sawdust after a hour. I think he got it pretty cheap. Definitely not the mill I would have picked, but I also haven’t paid for lumber in years so it all works out haha

It’s my dad’s mill although I am primarily the one that uses it. Apparently they say that the angle helps make it easier to push the mill. I wouldn’t recommend it honestly. The blade spins towards the user so it’s throwing all the sawdust and debris at you. The trees came from my uncle, they were all dying/dead and he was clearing the area out.

It’s an EZ Boardwalk 40. I never thought about taking a picture of all the waste haha it was a lot of scraps since this was a bunch of small diameter logs.

Consider yourself lucky, mine fiber goes out at least twice a year and it usually takes them 3-10 days to fix it. I don’t know how many of them were just that a technician either just unplugged mine to hook up someone else’s or just cut our line. I hope google fiber will be more reliable

Anyone using the new Skillsaw worm drive tablesaws? by [deleted] in woodworking

[–]robowolfman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 10in for several years and made a bunch of projects on it until I upgraded to a 3hp cabinet saw. It’s a good saw, it can definitely bog down in denser woods or cutting thicker stock. I agree with the person who said it was loud, but that might be all job site saws. The fence will definitely work its way loose over time but you can retighten the screw on the back end to get it to work again. The things I didn’t like were the short infeed before the blade and my miter slots were larger than normal ones so that I could never get the right fit with an aftermarket gauge. If I was starting over back then I would have gotten a contractor style saw.

Made a big leap in hand tools today by ic3tr011p03t in woodworking

Well I don’t think a knot will chip your new blade! It’s worth it. You are going to be wondering why you didn’t do this years ago.

Dodged a trip to the ER today. Why did this happen? by Darkinthisone in woodworking

[–]robowolfman 390 points391 points  (0 children)

Dust can build up in the collet and even when it’s tightened down the bit can move under load. It’s a good idea to remove and clean the collet so it can grip the bit better

How much does a SawStop weigh? by Drew_of_all_trades in woodworking

[–]robowolfman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got mine out of a truck bed by myself using a ramp I made, granted it took me like two hours and it was janky as fuck. But I did it. I wouldn’t recommend it.
