You don’t need to steer clear of card scrapers, thinking they’re too difficult to sharpen. Let me show you how you can quickly and easily get perfect wood curls with your card scraper!

I built these custom side tables with drawers, which was a challenging woodworking project that involved designing the table, cutting miters and dovetails, using a band saw jig, and integrating wireless charging. I faced some setbacks and made adjustments along the way but ultimately succeeded in creating a beautiful piece of furniture. The plans for the table are available for purchase.

No matter what size shop you have, but especially in a small woodworking shop, this simple and inexpensive workbench add-on is a woodworking game changer! Make a cheap tail vise, a chisel and a marking gauge holder, hold large workpieces vertically against your bench for planing, dovetails, and more. Seriously, give this a try!

Which of these thickness planers would you buy for your woodworking? Or would you buy something else? I bought a new 13" Dewalt DW735 planer to help thickness stock and to replace my Ridgid R433113" wood lunchbox planer. In this video, I'm putting them head-to-head to see where they are similar and where they differ and which one you might like for your woodworking shop. In my small shop, space is at a premium, but I love my wood planer!

This project is filled with 100% wife-approved woodworking! I made this DIY scrapbook paper tray spread over two days. This simple woodworking project can be fancied up by using hardwood, softwood, or by painting it to taste.
