What about it?

Redwood and butcher block shelves with a welded steel frame. Link to build video in my profile!

First attempt at a shadowbox for a recent retiree

Any tips on re-repairing drawer front that falls off for an unskilled layman?^ Used wood glue last time and it didn't hold.

I got a new helper in the shop. Looks like a handy little fellow.

Looking for a wood ID on the flooring in the new place I just moved into in an old building

Guessing it's stained pine. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this post.

My friend just finished his cherry hardwood Crokinole board, plays so smooth

What kinda wood is this

What about it?

Just made a walking stick for my grandma

Best finish for work bench?

What about it?

I found this ikea gate leg table a while back, and it had substantial water damage to the laminate top. I bought an solid core door and planned on using it as a workbench. I had some old vinyl tiles which looked like shit and had some adhesive failure pretty quickly, so I removed them last night. How should I finish the top? On hand, I have Minwax poly, some rust oleum gloss enamel, several latex wall paints and a few Cabot stains. I don't mind getting something else but it's going to be used and likely repaired/replaced, so I don't really care that much. Ideally, it would be a repairable finish. I don't really want to take it down to the laminate veneer, but could. I initially went to vinyl tiles because they could take some damage and be replaceable. I'm living in an apartment without access to a work space, so the desk is going to be multiple use, and it would be nice if it looked good enough that it wasn't a total eye sore. Projects really run a wide range from small woodworking, metalworking and electronics projects. Other additions coming are adding a cantilevered light I hacked together and a outlet. I had considered adding some casters but I don't think the gates are strong enough as is.

My first workbench made from red oak, only question is can I attach a breadboard end now that’s it’s built?

What about it?

After I was all done I realized I wish I had an extra 3-4” on each end and was considering using a left over board to install an end peace using other dovetail or mortise and tenon joint. Not sure the best way to go about this. Still green with woodworking.

How do I make this cut?

What about it?

I am making a custom hand rail for my basement stairs. The rail doesn't quite align where I runs into the Newell post at the bottom of the stairs and needs a bit shaved off, as shown by the white line. A skilled woodworker friend of mine advised I use a block plane to accomplish this, as sanding or chiseling it would just round it off. Unfortunately, either I suck at planing or I am unable to get my blades sharp enough, because I can't seem to do more than hack chunks out of the test pieces I've done. This is solid walnut, about 1" thick. Any advice?
