Build Article: https://craftedworkshop.com/mid-century-modern-walnut-end-table-build-woodworking/ In this project video, I build a pair of mid-century modern end tables using solid Walnut and Walnut veneered Purebond plywood. I used a technique called "kerfing" to allow me to bend the corners of the end table's carcass into the smooth radius you see in the final piece.

Watch more hand tool fun here http://vid.io/xoYa How to Set up Light in a shop can be confusing from What lights to chose to the color you chose. here is a quick rundown on what I think about when setting up workshop lights for a hand tool woodworking shop.

Here they are--the long awaited sliding barn doors, yep these are the ones I have been talking about for months on "The Crafted Podcast". This was a really fun commissioned project! I was commissioned to build two custom sliding barn style doors for a house up in Daytona Beach Florida.

Peter Warrender: "What tool do you guys have that you don’t need... but really like?"
