What are you building with your milled wood?

What do you use for glue?

Titebond 3 for those. I considered gorilla glue since I was gluing end grain, but I just ended up using a thick coating of titebond. I did use gorilla glue on the miter joints for the boxes.

Mitered boxes for my girlfriend, mom, and sister, and a couple friends. Black walnut, black cherry (my tree), curly English walnut (my sisters tree), and red maple. I used the Matt Kenney "Perfect Mitered Boxes" design that's scattered over several issues of FWW.

Just curious, why did you use gorilla glue? I use titebond 3 for almost everything. I have a bottle of gorilla glue but I don't even think it's opened yet. Sweet boxes BTW.

Needed a quick handmade gift for the ladies in my extended family. Last year I made wooden kitchen utensils and it was far to time consuming. This was just scrap I had after making a table with some fir I milled up.

Table decor, votive holders.

Thanks! It was basically an experiment - I've read that it can be much stronger for end grain applications, which normally tend to soak up a lot of yellow glue and starve the joint. I can't really verify that claim in regards to strength, but I can say that the squeeze out cleaned up much easier than yellow glue - after scraping most of it away, the rest cleaned up with a couple strokes of 120 grit sandpaper. The yellow glue that couldn't be scraped away took a few minutes with a palm sander and 80 grit. I think that fact alone is enough for me to favor it for something like these boxes, as sanding all those inside corners isn't the easiest thing to do.

Getting started on a natural edge small kitchen table.

Router planning on mates wood wizz.



Leaves a pretty good surface. 80 grit on orbital from here.



Need to get filling cracks and shaping it first though.

Wow, seeing all these cool projects makes me want to do woodworking projects. Here are a couple of my nicer projects. My next one will be a three cord firewood shed. After that will be my biggest project yet. A 24' x 12' run in shelter with a small tack room for horses. I'm planning to have the firewood shed done this spring and the run in shelter hopefully before the end of this year.

Nice job.

I just got done building another shelf this evening.

Cool design. Could probably stash some on-hand cash inside the caps of the pipe

Nice. I like the idea. Simple and industrial looking. [emoji106]
