76- Humble Pie
Download High Resolution
Ever wish you could fast forward 5 years and see how your projects are holding up? That would certainly be useful information as it would let you know what worked, and what didn’t. So in this episode, I pull out a number of old projects and examine them closely for damage, flaws and evidence of wood movement. I’ll also go over the joinery used in each project and what you can expect from them over time. And the grand finale is my chess board (the second project I ever made). Let’s just say that you should never underestimate the power of wood movement. Incidentally, if you answered our viewer survey this past summer, you’ve already seen this episode.

33- On the Edge
High Resolution Version
I was working on a simple cabinet recently and I started thinking of all the different ways there are to cover the exposed edges of plywood. Veneer tape, solid edge banding, oversized edgebanding, and even joinery itself all do a fine job of hiding this unsightly side-effect of using plywood. And since plywood seems to enter our shops more frequently than not, its important to know how to deal with it. With a little know-how, you’ll be edging plywood like a pro in no time.

So how do you spend your time between projects? For me, its a great time to tune up my equipment, wax the cast iron tables, touch up the chisels, and do some general cleanup. And nothing is more inspiring than a nice clean workshop at the beginning of a new project. So watch the video and you will see some of the things I like to do between big projects.
