Woodworking Router Every wood shop needs a router and not only one few of them. Router is the most versatile tool in your shop. A trough working horse. Spend as much as you can on a good one. When I was first starting my woodworking few years ago I have bought new Bosch POF 1400 ACE with 8 mm collet which works great but it has some limitations regarding the depth of plunging and rail. This router is good for small groves, round overs etc. all in all good router to start with.

My wooden toolbox I did't go crazy with the design or joinery on my toolbox. It is based on the design of Gerstner machinist tool box which I like the most. Measurements are: I build it from fir /for the main body, sides are 2 cm thick / or 13/16˝ /. /, beech /drawer fronts 3 cm thick or 1˝3/16 / and okume plywood /drawer bottoms 0,6 cm thick or 1/4˝/.

Jigs Oak is to heavy to rotate or move so I need two jigs to cut quarter sawn borads one for vertical cuts and one for horizontal cuts. So on the first picture you can see the jig I made with two longer peaces of l-profile steel conected with four smaller peaces. Another smaller steel peace is holding the saw attached to the jig with two large bolts. This jig will glide on the borad 5cmx10cm (2" by 4") which will be attached to the log. Everything is welded and looks and feels rigidSomthing like on the picture below.

Main types of cutting the boards from a log In february this year my brother and I cut down one large oak . In diameter it measures 76 cm /almost 30"/ and in length 200 cm/79"/. Now is time to cut it into boards. We are planning to cut it into 5,5cm /2" 3/16 / thick boards. I don't know how much do you know about cutting the log into the boards so I will explain you a little bit in the pictures below.

Passion for wood Little bit about myself and this blog . Hi my name it Tom and I live in Croatia. Since I have lot of free time I discovered, online of course, my new passion woodworking. First I was checking youtube clips about woodworking and there are ton of them especially from USA and not long after that I was ˝addicted˝ to wood and woodworking and I said to myself you have to try this. Shortly after that I was on ebay buying chisels, saw's, hand planes, router bit's etc. and I am still buying haha. So here I am two years after I made few projects in wood I am writing this blog where I will be posting detailed pictures and descriptions of my past and future projects and also I will talk about tools I use to get the project done. I will also try to answer any question you'll have about my projects and woodworking in general so feel free to ask. Siberian Larch
