Recently a co-worker asked if i could design and make a TV cabinet for in in-laws who were replacing an outdated projector style TV to a modern streamlined big screen TV. I designed this in Sketchup. basing the size of location of current TV and to fit into the scheme of their living room. This cabinet is made of Red Oak plywood and Rough sawn Red Oak. I used the rough sawn for the doors, drawer fronts, front frame and top. The drawer slides are soft close. The shelves on both sides are adjustable up and down. For the finish I used Minwax Satin Polyurethane. Overall size is 15" deep x 20" tall x 52" long. Free Sketchup plans may be downloaded from this site: http://tompritch1.wix.com/bumpaswoodcreations

A friend of mine is looking for a 8.5" saw blade for his Craftsman table saw. Does anyone know if they have one to sell or know if they are still making them?

I wanted to share a few of my carvings. I carved a walking stick for my step-brother and a cane for a co-worker friend of mine who recently passed away. I'm posting this honor of my friend Don

I'm in the progress of building a desk with a roll top tambour door feature and I purchased a tambour bit set from Eagle America. I was very happy with the results. Now I'm doing a final sanding on each segment before I assemble together. The bit set I purchased advertised that I can either use the canvas backing or the cable system. After seeing several videos about using canvas, I can see how that would work. My preferred method is to use cable. My question is: 1. How much tension should I use to make sure that it is still flexible to follow the track and not too loose to gap? 2. Also, has anyone done both methods and what kind of results did you have? Did you prefer one over the other? Here is a blog of mine where I share some pictures. FYI, the tambour you see is not connected together. http://bumpaswoodcreations.blogspot.com/

To the Master Poster...Great ideas one of the pictures with the sheet stock angled lower compartment with adjustable shelves above is what I currently have. Maybe I need to make better use of the space? Thanks again

I am looking for a good method to store all my scrap wood. Much as wood cost I hate to throw stuff away. You never know when you will need it. I would like to have you share with me what type of process do you use that works. The best way I can think is new long boards be stored on rack, smaller pieces be put on shelves, but if someone would have a unique way to do so, I would love to hear. Thanks Tom

I have been building kitchen cabinets for my home. On one of my wall cabinet I need to make less then a standard 12" deep. It will be around 10"deep. In this cabinet I need to put in light duty full extension side mount slide. Because of the cabinet depth is less then a standard 12" depth a 12" slide will be too long. Can anyone tell me if a slide can be cut down in length? Maybe down to 8" long? I have seen where I can purchase a 8", but I don't have time to order and wait. Best Regards Tom

This project was a workcenter that I put together because of my small shop. I can route, plane, build on and store tools in one unit. It also rolls around to move out of the way if needed.

Trace good to have other hoosiers online. Even if they have left. As I mentioned, wood working has been one of my hobbies that helped me through my treatments and so fourth. I hope to gain more knowledge from this forum. Happy holidays...Tom
