S7.E1 ∙ Cross-cut sled add-on

Mon, Jan 14, 2013

Back in Season 5, we made a simple classic cross-cut sled. That sled is probably the most-used accessory for my tablesaw. But in some cases, the workpiece exceeds the capacity of the sled. So I came with a way to cut the pieces at the table saw with my cross-cut sled. It's a pretty basic idea, but once you understand it you will likely find a use for it on many projects in the future.

S7.E2 ∙ Carbide-tipped brad point bits

Mon, Jan 28, 2013

If you're like me, you probably learned about drill bits the hard way. I started out using a basic set of standard twist bits. As I learned more about the craft and communicated with other woodworkers, I became aware of the superior brad point bit with it's sharp center point and sweet cutting spurs.

S7.E3 ∙ Power carving with the arbortech turboplane

Sun, Feb 03, 2013

For me, power carving is one of the most challenging aspects of woodworking. It all started back in 2003 when I got hooked on David Marks' show, Woodworks. On several occasions, he would pull out a grinder and get all medieval on a beautiful piece of wood. The end result would be a beautifully sculpted creation that could only be called art.

S7.E9 ∙ Awoodworker's first aid kit

Tue, Apr 30, 2013

A long overdue upgrade to the Wood Whisperer shop is a quality first aid kit. A typical first aid kit comes with a bunch of stuff we don't really need in the wood shop, so I set out to create a first aid kit specifically for woodworkers.

S7.E10 ∙ Installing a clear vue cv1800 cyclone

Wed, May 01, 2013

One of the most important safety upgrades you can make for your shop is good quality dust collection. If you run a bunch of power tools, it's hard to argue with the effectiveness of a ducted cyclone system. When I first moved into the new shop, the folks from Clear Vue came down to help me install a new CV1800 cyclone.

Sat, May 18, 2013

There's only one thing more important to me than woodworking and that's family. Jersey tomato pie and BBQ are tied for third. So here's a fun little "slice of life" video of my boy enjoying a day of work in the shop.

A few weeks back, I visited professional turner and instructor Matt Monaco's shop in Phoenix, AZ. I was there to film a segment for a recent Guild project but Matt also offered to show us how he turns a spinning top in under ten minutes. He does it all with a roughing gouge and a skew chisel.

S7.E18 ∙ Tilt-top table

Sun, Sep 01, 2013

Small tables are great skill-building projects. You can pack a lot of joinery and techniques into a very confined space while using a small amount of material. The Tilt-Top Table is a great example of this as it contains a turned post, sliding dovetails, curved and tapered legs, an elliptical top, and a classic shop-made tilt mechanism.

Woodworking in America is a conference held every year by the folks at Popular Woodworking Magazine. This video shows a few highlights and then focuses primarily on the vendors.

S7.E23 ∙ Wooden gear clock

Sun, Dec 08, 2013

A hand-made wooden clock is one of those projects I like to marvel at. I'm not sure I have enough patience to cut out one wooden gear let alone the multitude required to construct a fully-functional clock. Thankfully, my buddy Rick Urschel is not nearly as impatient as I am and filmed one of his early efforts at making the Simplicity Clock as designed by Clayton Boyer.
