I'm a novice wood worker who does it because I want to. These projects are how I relax. I've spent thousands on tools to produce some mediocre work that I could have hired out for less but it's worth every penny to me.


If you have the tools then a shaper. I built a simple hood over the head of my shaper and put a shop vac to remove the shavings. Inspect the edge of the boards your shaping, take your time, sharp cutting head and enjoy your project.


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

My twin brother...Same here, I could not have explained it better than that.
One of our camp's bear hunters has a cabinetry shop, and any project that is high volume and high quality is sent to him, and I pay retail or whatever it is he charges. He does a perfect job fast and I really don't care about the price, because I saw my own logs off of our property. I figure at some point in the whole process, I have to pay someone a decent amount if I really want it done right. Occasionally I need something done right. More likely it is my wife who says she wants it done right, this time.

I've considered buying a shaper, using router tables, table saw, haven't ordered anything yet.

Appreciate it

So you already had the power tools. LOL

Nice post!
