Well, join the crowd of the rest of us that have messed up when working past quitting time. I learned a long time ago that I just cannot do woodworking when tired or distracted. First of all, it is extremely dangerous, and secondly, I start making mistakes.

Looking forward to your finished project.

Hi Dusty,

I keep everything that for me as some potential. Probably why my shop is full of projects to come.

Hey your learning its what the eye sees to others a piece of junk? To you and me something worth while and useable?And its now a workshop cart to house a machine that is transportable around the workshop.Waste not want not? As i say there are only 2 good machines in the world that can produce beautiful work from timber either recycled or off the timber rack? THATS YOUR BRAIN AND YOUR HANDS?ONE THINKS THE OTHER PRODUCES.Well done on your cart .

re: Relocating the Radial Arm Saw

Nice shop...wish I had that kind of space. I have a similar age Craftsman RAS and wonder why you would move it permanently to a stationary bench. Unless you only use it for miter saw type work, you lose much of its capability because you can't get to the sides or move it around. I've found that the really fun part of a RAS is the ability to utilize all the axillary features such as drilling, routing, etc. The mobile base also gets the saw out of the way if you need to otherwise use valuable bench-top "real estate."

Hi Popsnsons,

You should definitely try it. As router bits are great to mill edge profiles, the molding head cutter will mill profiles within the perimeter of a board. I made several raised panel doors with this set on the radial arm saw and they turned out great. And the cutters ares cheaper than router bits !!!

Hi Serge,

Someone gave me a molding head cutter along with some different cutters to attach to it. I haven't experimented with it yet. But now that I see the results I may have to try it soon.

I must look for a copy of the book as it sounds like my kind of reading, but will it be available here in the UK ?? I can but try.

P.S. I threw my latest mistake in the bin yesterday !

Thanks Trubs for your compassion!

I should stick to this new line of my own: Measure twice, make a tripple check and cut once! By the way, I found a book at my local library titled "Measure twice and cut once" by you guess who, Norm Abram. Since I'm a volunteer at the library teaching 'Surfing the Internet' to elder people, and since I was so excited about that book, they gave it to me. I will post it soon on this blog (at least the front cover).

I believe working out the solutions is one of the most important aspects of woodworking (or any other crafts) since it pusses an individual to take another step, to get a little more further than reading plans. Finding a solution is, according to me, a good way to gain confidence and get more satisfaction.

Here I wanted to shown that it is normal each and everyone makes mistakes, and that mistakes can be overcome anyway, in many ways.

Best,

Serge

What happened to measure twice and cut once? Saying that,we have all been there and had the added frustration of working out the solution. You have my commiserations It takes a brave man to own up to his mistakes.

Brandon,

Beside the fact two hutches will be nice, it is essential to have two of those. Since there is a wide arch way beween the dinning room and the living room, I'm left with only 28" on either side. Narrow hutches was the answer for more storage, and as you mentionned, a nice option to enhance the 'decor'.

Best,

Serge

I'll be making a fishing pole rack soon for a friend. I was deciding on how I would form a cutout on the bottom of each side. Now that I can put my curve set to better use it should come out ok.
