Do you sell your hand made projects…

If you were interested in creating hand made items for friends and family then over the years everyone that have received one of your many projects is getting a bit overwhelmed. They are overloaded with wooden gifts from you for their birthday, other holidays and Christmas but you still want to create your projects and was thinking about selling your hobby pieces, maybe even thinking about doing woodworking as your profession.

If this is something that you have been thinking about then you need to click here to check out Etsy. This website is designed to buy/sell hand crafted items. Do you sell handmade products on Etsy? If not then you are missing out, last year, Etsy sold $180.6 million-worth of goods.

By April 2010, the number of items sold soared to a whopping 1.3 million. Be sure to check it out it is free to join for both the seller and the buyer.

Have a Friend over for coffee…

Well the time is soon coming up for our next Live Video Chat and this time we are talking about making boxes. The project is one the most fundamental project used to teach how to use the router. It is a small project that teaches many things about changing router bits, setting up the fence quickly and much more…

We will be discussing the following:

1. Marking the face side,
2. The Rabbet Bit,
3. Figuring depth of cut,
4. The safety push stick,
5. The correct set up sequence,

And much more…

For all the woodworkers that have had a chance to watch my first two LVC’s I thank you for the support and encouragement. If you have some friends or relatives that enjoy the same hobby please let them know about our Live Video Chat.

30 Minute Countdown…

So what’s on the agenda for tonight’s Live Video Chat?

1) We are going to give a tour of the back side of our famous Router Table. We will discuss the what, why and where we place things like the router bit tray, the placement of the router into the system, where to place your wrenches and why the table is portable?

2) We are going to discuss the feature project then within the live video we will expand the idea and think outside the box to create a wall shelving unit using the linear dovetail joint.

3) Discussing the features of the dovetail router bit and decide which one is the most common router bit.

4) The video clip will be about the set up of the dovetail router bit and finding center on the base of the joinery. This will show a simple way to find the center of the shelf base.

5) This video clip discusses the arbor router bits and shows the pitfalls. At the end of this clip we identify that it easier to buy solid router bits instead of the arbor systems…

The Countdown has begun…6 hours left,

Just 6 hours left….

The project we are going to feature today is a small project that uses the Linear Dovetail joint. Once you understand the joinery methods the next step is to think outside the box and add this joint to larger projects. I have made a sketch of my thoughts about the linear dovetail used on larger projects. I will show this sketch on the live portion of the Video Chat.

We are down to six hours to the video time. If you have any specific questions that you want me to answer please click here and post them within the chat feature of this application.
