A wooden hairbrush for missus. Kinda crappy but now I have an excuse to do a new and better one! Carved with knives and chisels. Stained with dark and light varnish and finished with clear acrylic cover.

Made from wood called 'terijoensalava' (salix euxina ’Bullata’) in Finnish - I dont know if there is an english translation for it. The wood was extremely soft, light and kinda powdery (?) inside - not much real grain on it. I bet you could carve a wooden knife from pine and carve this wood with the wooden knife.

This is the first shelf I've ever built! I've made a couple workbenches before but never a shelf. Hopefully the first of many we've got a few places around the house that need better storage

I'm not sure where the right place to post this would be, but here goes.

I bought this DW745 Type 2 saw off of Facebook Marketplace. I think it was abused. I replaced both of the elevating shafts (5140100-04 & 5140100-05). I also had to replace both of the bevel gears (5140061-65).

The aluminum housing seems to be okay and the lifting shafts move in and out without much resistance. I'm still getting this chunky movement when I raise and lower the blade.

I'm looking for advice before I go though the whole process of replacing the entire aluminum housing on the motor.

Introduction

Pale moon ebony is a material used in woodworking and manufacturing that combines elegance and durability. This exotic wood, prized for its remarkable beauty and outstanding characteristics, finds its way into a variety of products, from furniture to ornamental items.

Pale Moon Ebony shines in the crafting of bottle stoppers, which provide both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The allure of pale moon ebony:

Pale Moon Ebony, formally known as Diospyros embryopteris, originates predominantly in Southeast Asia. This wood species is distinguished by its rich, dark tones and intriguing grain patterns. Its moniker, "Pale Moon," conjures up images of moonlight evenings, capturing the wood's ethereal beauty and mystery.

Ebony's color spectrum varies from deep chocolate browns to intense black, with streaks of golden or reddish-brown tones. Each piece of Pale Moon Ebony is unique, making it a popular option among artisans and craftsmen looking to create one-of-a-kin

2x4s, mdf top, pocket-hole screws, (some pocket-holed and some counterbored).

Saw it on the Kreg site and mostly followed the plan. All 2x4s with pocket holes.

I made this shelf to hold mugs I’ve collected from traveling. The outer case is oak (I think), and shelves are other random scraps. Used a French cleat on the back to hang it.

Cedar coat rack and key ring I made from the same plank

Old project I made some years ago to hold fans gifted to me when traveling in China.

I designed these shelves out of walnut with hidden mounting hardware. They let me quickly lift and tilt out any records for playing as well as fill an empty wall with art. Stained with Danish oil and waxed.

They aren't the best looking but they function and they don't collapse when you sit in them. I call that a win.

Show me what you got people.
