Taken for Macro Mondays theme "Handle with care" . This is a 10 inch table saw blade, showing a section just a bit over 2 inches on the horizontal dimension. It can very easily whack off a finger or two before you realize it, so great care must be taken while it is spinning. Also for 2016: one photo each day (268/366)
Jasper and his brothers Jake and Jazz are putting up a new dog house today. They know you measure twice but cut once. On a dog's salary, they can't afford to waste materials.
This is my answer to the 52 weeks for dogs tribute challenge. I was so impressed with sure2talk's The Card Player's composite image that I wanted to see if I could do something similar. Her shot in the first comment
After ripping through a bunch of hard rock maple to build some shelves for the family for next Christmas, I looked at the blade and saw a five-letter word - teeth :-) These carbide teeth measure approx 1/8" x 1/16".
This is about 0.00001% of brother-in-law Bob's stash at the house. You just never know when you might need a bucket or a motorcycle or a table saw or even an ice chest.

I cut the pieces of maple wood for my prototype today. Next I need to route the grooves for the top, side, and bottom pieces. After that I can stain them and then assemble them to make sure this is going to work as I planned.
Here’s where math skills and good, solid tools pay off!

For the second time in my life, my father and I ventured out on Black Friday to buy a power saw. This is the latest addition to the workshop family and though this was not the original saw that I ahd wanted, I believe that this will do better for me, and will fit right in with all the other workshop family members. This beauty came just in time for some great winter projects as well!
Upcoming Projects: Outdoor Grill Cart, Paint Cabinet, New Router Table, and CD Wall Bookcase.

Year Eleven Of My 365 Project
All of a sudden, and for no known reason, my saw is binding the wood again, making the saw lock up on the wood- very dangerous. I use this saw mostly for repeat long cuts on my wood projects. I can move on to other projects, but only for so long- and I really don't have much time to solve the problems of why it's binding.
RIDGID has been great with me in the past, so I may be making a call to them this week because I can't really not use this saw and expect to be timely on my projects!

I decided I would expand the definition of fence to include this makeshift rip fence. I needed to rip a 2x4 and while I have this table saw it does not have a proper metal rip fence that helps keep the cut straight and true. As you can see, I fashioned a temporary fix using an piece of 2x4 and a couple of clamps to keep it in place. It worked out well as you may see the results. HFF
I've always found ugly little sheds such a beautiful sight, minimally functional and clearly constructed by folks who didn't know much or care. Just some patchwork project of scavenged lumber and scraps from the tablesaw, manhandled in the service of a vaguely square shape. The door is blocked by a couple stolen grocery carts, likely missing from a store that doesn't exist, and long since moved to another design. They sit rusted and shoved into each other, like some profane saints who won't even stay separate in death. There's not peace to rest in when you're in pieces, no rot to resist when it's top to bottom. Lovingly corrupted, bit back by nature, I feel the teeth of time getting sharper.

Here is one of the glue ups (hard maple and cherry) for the front jaw of my moxon vise. There will be various shots along the way to completion of it.
The blade is a Forrest Woodworker II.
I haven't used my 25 year old Delta Unisaw (table saw) in several years. it felt good to crank it up! My son, Benton, took this. We're making a dado in a 4x4 as part of a yard fence.
A break in the rain means a breakout of power tools in the workshop!
Today I made the cuts for one of the displays I am making for my office, which will showcase something related to my writing & journaling. Just a hint for what's to come!

Year Thirteen Of My 365 Project
After much research and online discussions, I was able to align my rip fence and that fixed my problem. I finished my cuts and made 45 degree bevels on them to make French cleat hangers for my cabinets. Hopefully there will not be more complications!

On a rainy Sunday afternoon in Andernach on the Rhine, Germany, I didn't see many opportunities to take pictures, until I saw this saw hanging on a crane over a construction site with just a little bit of blue sky behind. I still love it.
Woodworking aficianados will immediately recognize that I am using an alternating top bevel blade based on the slightly dihedral shape of the kerf.
Everyone else will recognize that I am an idiot
After several days of grueling weather, I was finally able to catch a break in the weather and make some cuts for the Tool Cart in my workshop. This project is actually seeing that end in sight now!

Year Ten Of My 365 Project
Today I spent the majority of 4 hours ripping boards, measuring, fitting, sanding, boring holes, and assembling this mobile base for my table saw. Another one was also completed for my band saw. With the assistance of my wife and daughter, we lifted this up and placed it on the mobile base and now I can move it from the garage to a more spacious area (like the front of the garage) to work on wood projects.
This was purchased at Harbor Freight in Michigan City, Indiana. While the instructions were not as clearly written as I would like them, I was able to make adaptations and complete the project. Clean up of sawdust, etc., took about an hour.

This is my daughter. Her favorite movie is Saw (all of them). She is into gore, I thought she’d have fun with this.
Sorry, no strobes. That is a hint on how this was achieved.

While I was gone my dad got into a bad tablesaw accident, nearly cutting of a thumb and badly flaying one of his fingers. Right before I took this shot, I had a phone conversation with him about his reconstructive surgery – he was very happy, because his hand hurt for the first time since his accident; the doctor had manage to reattach at least some of his nerves, and we were all very pleased. I spent a lot of time thinking about my dad during this trip, not just because I was worried for him but because he'd told me so many southwestern stories when I was a child.
