Ok. Here is the primary reason I'm building these side tables. Plans were to keep the tables stupid-simple to avoid any drama. I violated my goal ...

V Tools are a special case so I've decided to divide this entry into two parts.  In this part I'll review the tool geometry and the goals I have fo...

I intended to do this all in one entry but I ran into a bit of a dilemma.  The tool I'm working with is an Ashley Iles 60 degree, 1/2" inch tool wi...

This one isn't exactly on sharpening but it does have to do with using abrasives on a tool blade so I thought I'd throw it in here.  This is a copy...

I got the bulk of the work finished up this weekend.  I started with a dry fit of the case and then used it to cut the door members to length.  The...

Here are some progress photos on some miscellaneous bits. I did do a test with edge-to-edge magnets.  They did pretty well self-aligning, and they...

For the drawer pull, I decided on a simple edge-mounted design.  I wanted it to be black to match the legs, and to avoid another round of ebonizing...
