Hello , I am building a couch table which will have a 5' x 1.5' veneered top. I dont have veneer press so what would be the best substrate to use. I was thinking 3/4" MDF. The bulk of the table will be walnut and the veneered top will be curly maple with bloodwood strings. Any feedback would be great. Thanks

Hello , I am looking to buy a new planer that is 15" or larger. I am currently looking at the Grizzly 15" planer , which seems to have good reviews and is priced well. I don't want to spend more than 1500$. Anyone have any opinions for me. Thanks

Hello , I am going to be building a project featuring the cabriole leg in the picture below: It call for 3.5 x 3.5 x 18" stock. My question is , does it have to be a solid piece of stock with those dimensions , or can it be a glue up ? I have this size of tapered legs with glue ups and usually am not very happy with the grain pattern. My worry is that with all the curves , there will be too many glue lines (mismatched grain) with all the curves of the leg. What is the standard procedure for this type of leg. Thanks

I have the one at woodsmith site , I was looking for others. I though maybe some members here might have made some of there own they could share. Or maybe I missed an issue of a wood magazine that had one., Thanks

Hello , Thanks , but there is no full size pattern at that site. Just instructions on how to cut it out on the bandsaw. I am looking for actual size drawings of different leg types so I can make MDF templates. Thanks

Hello , I am looking for full size patters of different leg styles. Especially the Cabriole Leg. I haven't been able to find them on the internet. If anyone know where I could find them please let me know. Or if you know of a issue of a magazine that has them, Thanks

Hello , I was very curious as how to make and attach round fluted columns to a piece of furniture. Here are some pics they may better help explain what I am talking about. Thanks

Hello , I have a few slabs of 1.5" marble about 22" x 22" and wanted to make 2 coffee tables with the marble. I was going to do a standard mortise tenon legs with aprons and then a miter frame on top with the marble inset into it. My question , or where I need help is how do I support the marble. Obviously the aprons will be covered by the mitered frame on top , so they cannot take any of the weight. I thought about putting 3 rails across 2 of the aprons to support the marble , but that seems like I am using to much wood. Any suggestions , plans, drawings , links would be appreciated. Thanks
