WoodworkingQuestions.com no comments

Topics:Books, Projects, Tools, Web

When I set out to create woodworking questions it was so I could effectively log the blogs across the web that I review and to also create a way for people to post questions and have experts reply to those questions within 24 hours.

Well two things happened.
1. Experts didn’t really want another board to surf for helping people and
2. Logging blogs seems to be against the law do to IP rights.

With that, I decided to say “well it was a good idea for the year it was up, but it has to go!”

Since then I’ve decided to just create a blog and on it I will be sharing my woodworking projects and go behind the scenes as I work on my upcoming book on Thomas Jefferson furniture.

Along the way I’ll be posting tool/book reviews as I buy them and I’m sure you’ll see non-woodworking things here as well.

Please feel free to comment on any and all posts I have. Tell me when I’m right and more importantly, tell me when I’m wrong! (I’m a big boy, I can take it.)

So for now WWQ will be linked to CreatingSawdust.com but I am actively looking for a way to get WWQ up and running as a way to us fellow woodworkers to help and suggest ideas to each other.

American Furniture, the Federal Period no comments

Topics:Books, Projects, Uncategorized

A couple of years ago I built this Federal Card Table.

After completing it, my wife fell in love with it and encouraged me to build more from this style.

Well since then, I’ve built furniture of other periods for myself, others and for a couple of books.

Now I’m trying to figure out what to build next. With that I’ve ordered “American Furniture, the Federal Period” by Charles F. Montgomery. This book I’m told is an excellent book into the world of Federal Furniture.

Once it comes in I plan to review the book and to pick the next piece of furniture for my new home!

Note: This table was built based on a the table Glen Huey built in Issue 148 (June 2005) of Popular Woodwork Magazine.
