  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Any Other Woodworkers on BOTL?

    I haven't but it is something I'd like to try. My wife and daughters are into gardening and I'd love to get them something like this that get's the garden up off the ground so rodents are less likely to get into it. Seems pretty straightforward: make a cedar box with slats on the bottom, give...

    Any Other Woodworkers on BOTL?

    haha - I mean, is that the idea that you are going for? If yes, there are chisels/gouges that you can find that are made for that exact task. Here's one on Amazon. They also make a hook type of tool that you can use. Other than that, if it's not a huge surface area, instead of buying another...

    When you say a "shallow oval indention", are you referring to a spoon shape?

    Any Other Woodworkers on BOTL?

    Thanks, Jason! I had fun building that record stand! My favorite part of any project is adding the finish at the end. The grain in the walnut on that one popped when I added the poly! Mr. Pafk is incredible! That's awesome that you've been to his shop; I'd be like a little school girl in...

    Any Other Woodworkers on BOTL?

    Agreed. I'm pretty into it and am finding tools at decent prices on the resell market. I just bought a planer and a jointer which has helped immensely! It's a joy to work with wood that is flat and 90 degrees! haha. I've also been practicing 4 or 5 times a week on my chisel work. I have...

    Fish sauce

    Never heard of the stuff... Is it literally fish sauce or just a weird name? And, what do you put it on? It does say "Cock Brand" so I'm sure @manbearpig and @OldSkoolTarHeel are pretty familiar with it.

    I made the walnut riser that the TV sits on and the sound bar sits under: I am going to build a similar end table that looks like this table soon to replace an old, cheap Walmart one we have.

    Any Other Woodworkers on BOTL?

    I didn't take any before pictures but this is the closet in my office. I decided to stain a bunch of pallet wood and I'll end up covering every piece of drywall in the closet with pallets. Then, I'm going to paint the shelves dark brown and have some Edison bulbs hanging for lighting. It's only...

    Any Other Woodworkers on BOTL?

    I needed a stand to hold the record that I am playing and I didn't want to buy one. Found some extra maple and walnut laying around the shop so I made this bad boy: Here it is in use to give you an idea of what I'm talking about:

    Any Other Woodworkers on BOTL?

    Over the last year, I've started getting back into woodworking and I can't even begin to tell you how much I love it. My grandpa owned a cabinet shop just south of Kansas City for decades and he retired about 10 years ago. When I was growing up, he'd let me work for him in the summers for...

    Back from the goose grave

    @ChuckMejia and @sofc were just talking the other day about how sad they were that you left. They'll be thrilled to see you're back! Welcome back, Goose! Last I heard from you, you were looking at doing unspeakable things via a Craigslist post for a room. Pics? :sneaky:

    That looks like a plea for a Kindle bombing, D... Better hope some of the crazy BOTLs don't see this.

    Cigar Lifestyle

    Thanks man! I appreciate that! I have a few small business ideas in the cigar realm that I'd like to start sooner than later. They will give me some experience in the cigar industry and help setup the B&M retirement plan. Good luck on your aspirations, brother. I hope they bring you...
