    Noah, the table looks great, I love the breadboard . Could you tell me a little about the materials and methods you used in joining the panel to the ends?

    September Workbench

    With AI you could make some really good Pterosaur hero shots for marketing these calls.

    Opening Day Nightmare

    Like many others I've rushed out of the house and forgot my shotgun. One cold January morning I got to a large local lake early enough to be the first car in the parking lot. My plan was to hike the shoreline and set a few decoys in a small cove where a tiny creek fed in. Shadow was just under...

    September Workbench

    I know there's one in the carving forum, but none here for September. Small Shelf for some hunting memorabilia. Got the idea of a generic spam instagram page of wood working projects. 6 inch cedar fence pickets, finished with Danish Oil. Grouse fan, shot shell, and canvas photo print of...

    July 2025 What's on your workbench?

    Built this small griddle set up for my mother. Frame is PT 2x4, siding was cedar fencing, and the top was 5/4 cedar deck boards trimmed, planed and glue and pocket screwed into panels. If I did it again I'd select and cut the siding so that they are continuous across the front. Lesson learned.

    May Workbench

    I've been really lucky the last month has alternated 2-3 days of rain to 2-3 days of sunshine. I haven't had to water them at all, just have to keep my lab from marking all of them. He thinks I planted all of them just for him to pee on!

    May Workbench

    Decoys took a back seat for a while, my neighbor was putting in a pool and asked it I wanted any fill. Having some pretty out of level sections of yard I said I'd take all of it. Got about 30 tons of very nice topsoil, very little stone and clay. Paid the excavator $100 cash to spread it out...

    Quick question on sealing black cork

    Never thought of using titebond as a sealer. I planned on brushing with titebond and coating with ground walnut shells for texture after sealing. Have you personally used titebond III for sealing black cork?

    Quick question on sealing black cork

    I'm working on a spread of black cork ducks. I know from reading many threads over the years that thinned spar varnish is the preferred method of sealing. I seem remember someone saying they dunk the decoy in a bucket of thinned spar varnish until the bubbles stop coming out. My Question is...
