Old Masking Tape

Masking tape gets old in the shop and after a while it wont unroll very well. This is especially true in cold weather. As a remedy, I give a troublesome roll a 10 to 15 second zap in the microwave.

Baby Sitter Woodworking Plans

Pot Magnet


When working with nails, screws, etc. - anything magnetic, especially on top of a ladder or in an otherwise awkward place, I have a "Pot Magnet" affixed to a wristlet made of Ace bandage ON MY RIGHT wrist (I am right-handed - if you are a leftie put it on your left wrist). This holds the pesky "small magnetic items" handy to pick up with you OTHER hand for driving with hammer or screwdriver or cordless drill or whatever. Sticking them on the magnet also magnetizes them slightly, so that screws, especially, tend to stick to the phillips-head or square drive driver bit. Also, you arent digging into your pocket and stabbing your fingers on the points - which are sharp enough in your pocket, but somehow become miraculously dulled on the trip to the wall or whatever they are to be driven into...

Baby Sitter Woodworking Plans... All it Takes Is Just A Flip And A Twist!
 

 Rocking Horse

High Chair 

Desk

 

Space can be a problem when you only have room for one piece of baby furniture, but you need three pieces. To solve this problem we designed the Baby-Sitter. With just a twist and a flip, the Baby-Sitter, turns into a Rocking Horse, a Desk and Seat, or a High Chair. The Baby-Sitter is three chairs in one and is both functional and fashionable. This will surely become a treasured heirloom that will be handed down from generation to generation. By request we have designed a Teddy Bear Sitter; Plan No. 201. Its half the size of the Baby-Sitter thats just right for your childs Teddy Bear or Doll.

THE BEST WAY TO GLUE DOWELS
When doweling pieces together, sand a small flat on one side of each dowel before inserting them. This allows any excess glue to escape when you clamp the joint. If you dont let the glue escape, the pressure could force the joint open again.

Woodworking Tip of the Day...
Free Painting Aids... Ive found two uses for plastic grocery bags in painting projects. Theyre useful for wrapping a wet brush up in to keep it from drying out if you intend to use it later in the day. And the smaller sizes make excellent gloves to keep paint off your hands while painting or handling freshly painted objects.

SURE FIRE WAY TO REMOVE A WOODEN PLUGS


A sure-fire way to remove a wooden plug that covers a screw head... Drill a 1/8 inch pilot hole through the center of the plug. Than drive a drywall screw through the hole. The hardened drywall screw bottoms on the hidden screw head and forces the plug up and out of the hole.

Installing Drawer Fronts

On European-style cabinets and other pieces with separate drawer fronts, install the doors and drawer boxes first. Then, once the doors are adjusted properly, install the drawer fronts to match. Put double-sided carpet tape on the fronts of the drawer boxes, and position of the drawer faces. Once you have them stuck on, in the right positions, slide the drawers open and screw the faces on from inside.

Better Filtering


If your ship vac has a foam or paper filter that clogs quickly with wood chips, try covering the filter with old pantyhose. This allows the larger, heavier chips to fall off into the canister when you turn the vacuum off.
