This video treat is totally worth your thirteen minutes

Build this saw track jig from scrap plywood in less than 30 minute

Why would you double the workload, just to hide it inside a table leg? "Because it's awesome"

Becoming a master carpenter is a series of small steps, not a giant leap; learning what a smooger is, why it matters, and how to make one are three of the steps

Like farm to table for building materials—a tour of Amazon trees and lumber

Fast-setting glue and sacrificial guides keep your workpiece smooth and snipe-free

Spice up plywood cabinets with solid wood inlays. Spice up solid wood inlays with cleanly cur dado slots

and sometimes I'm open to looking

The absence of an accident does not mean the presence of safety; push sticks are expendable; fingers are not.

Edgebanding without sanding: call attention to the joint rather than trying to hide it. Because you won't hide it.

An accurate setup made from scraps can help you salvage lumber that is too crooked to frame with but could be great for blocking or furring strips

Frank Howarth needed a new door for his pantry, so he turned to some Sequoia slabs that he and a buddy cut up a few years ago. 

And then he made a film about it.

Marking, cutting, and glue-up tips that you may have forgotten about

Use scraps to offset the straight edge allowing you to cut each edge of the dado with opposite edges of a router bit

 

One of those things that you keep forgetting how to do, because you don't do it that often

Masking tape and a sharp knife are hard to beat for production precision

Make a pattern using elliptical sticks, and then use a router with flush-cut bit to replicate onto the big stock

 

A really simple template, a really repetitive process, and a lot of glue go into this not-so-weekend project.
