e change is because the work is being approached from the opposite side of the bit and in order to go against the bit direction, we need to change our feed direction. So if you remember the picture frame example, you should always be able to look at a workpiece and quickly decide the proper routing...
Howdy Marc! This is the cutting board that I e-mailed you about (expansion issues). I worked on this for quite some time and wanted to send you the pictures. I would have posted them before Christmas but my girlfriend might have checked out your site! It’s an end grain mahogany cutting bo...
ed to do it accidentally. My router came with a small bench-top router-table, which works ok. It also has a big arrow on it to show which direction to feed the wood to prevent a climb-cut. So far so good – so how did I fail? I had just cut a groove in a piece of wood, and saw that it hadnR...
The Discovery: A few months ago, I woke up one morning, poured my coffee, and was incredibly disappointed to see that my cutting board exploded! OK so maybe it wasn’t all that violent but it was cupped like crazy and had a very large split. Upon further inspection, I noticed a bit of trappe...

This project was submitted by Mathew and comes in two parts, first a question and then the finished project. For a first project, it is awesome. I don’t think I even attempted raised panels until my tenth project or so! Mathew first asks: This is my first ever project and your video on rai...
...). This was my first “Real Furniture Project”…. so your podcasts videos help push me to try new joinery and your answers to my email questions concerning finishing cherry were right on the mark. The Bulls Eye Seal-a-coat and Arm-R-Seal worked great. Another unique part of this proj...
In an effort to relieve our backlog of viewer submissions, this is a grouping of several projects from multiple woodworkers. We will do a few of these over the next few weeks so there will be plenty of eye candy! Cypress Planter by Dennis This is a cypress planter I made for my mom. The panel a...
