Sawstop recently released two new miter gauges, the Scale Miter Gauge and the Revolution. The Scale appears to be very similar to the Incra 1000HD so I didn’t feel compelled to review it. The Revolution, however, is now the most expensive miter gauge on the market. I just had to check it out to see if it’s worth it. So I hope you enjoy this Sawstop Revolution Miter Gauge Review.

MCM Walnut Dining Table with Curves! It’s not often that I have an opportunity to build something for my brother. He’s been in London for the past ten years and recently moved back to the States. His house is pretty empty so I’ve taken on the challenge of building as much furniture as possible for his new house. I’ll get the process started with a MCM Walnut Dining Table with Curves. When I asked him what he liked, he sent me numerous pictures of tables that were firmly in the current interpretation of the Mid-Century Modern style. To be frank, I’m having a bit of MCM fatigue so I came up with ..read more

Even the simplest project can be sabotaged by poor planning. I recently had a Guild Apprentice in the shop (hi, Mat!). We worked so well together that the table we were building was finished two days early. To help fill the gap, a recently-requested lazy susan project seemed like it would fit the bill. In truth, I hadn’t fully worked out the details yet. However, I assumed we could just wing it and figure it out as we go. Unfortunately, that was a very bad idea! While a lazy susan is very simple in concept, it can actually get quite complex if you decide to make the top and bottom different di ..read more

Two years ago, I did a massive comparative review of ten different miter gauges. One of the most anticipated in the review was the Harvey MG-36. In spite of the high price and promise of quality, I found the gauge came up short in numerous areas and I had to give it a “do not buy” recommendation. Recently, Harvey released the MG-36 Pro and many of you asked me to provide an update. So here’s my Harvey MG-36 Pro review. Normally I like to spend a few months with a product before doing a review, but this miter gauge is very similar to the non-pro version and I was able to spot the improvements a ..read more

As the Sideboard Series comes to a close, we’ll embark on the Top Construction & Oil Finish. The top is really just a large walnut panel. I like to use Dominos to help keep the panels aligned curing the glueup though the same thing could be achieved by using several sets of cauls. The idea is to keep the boards as even as possible so that it limits the amount of work we need to do after the glue dries. After the top is fully scraped and sanded, I added a small 1/8″ roundover. If you’re looking for more information and tips for making wide panels that stay flat, check out this video.  ..read more

Don’t miss the pre-order price for Philip Morley’s Tambour Record Console course. Price goes up February 9th! These aren’t your average drawer fronts! We’ll make the front from two pieces and create an integrated pull by creating a relief where the two pieces join. We’ll also create a dimpled texture using a Carbide Burr and a Die Grinder. The dimpled texture provides a super cool look to the fronts even though the wood itself is just regular walnut. Each dimple disrupts and reflects the light in such a way that it confuses the eye and invites people to come in for a closer look. It’s a great ..read more
