@MAHS_Carpenter @Rigidtools Looks great!

Whenever a board has the pith in it, cut that junk out! Yeah, it may mean you have to do a glue-up, but it's cheap insurance to keep your furniture from turning into a pretzel over time.

Do you cut out the pith or just leave it be and cross your... https://t.co/567QS8cww0

Here I'm knocking out some of the rough cuts and initial jointing for the rustic bed I shipped off to @mygreenmattress last week. I'm just now getting around to editing all of the video I shot! This will be my... https://t.co/wvQjj8MQQm

You know the project turned out well when you have trouble letting it go! https://t.co/kj1MDsRVMS

Here's how I bent and installed the metal for the marquee letters. I gave a few other methods a shot, but this ended up being most efficient for me.

@evanandkatelyn did y'all try something like this on your signs? https://t.co/kGIN7gXlss

[Mike @WoodShopMike]

Here I'm drilling out the holes for the string lights and staining the letters for a marquee sign. The sequence was to drill a pilot, then a 1" hole, followed up by a 1/2" hole.

Anyone else made some of these... https://t.co/qOhyAeEEmR

[Mike @WoodShopMike]

Remember that marquee sign I did a while back? Well, over the next few days I'll be showing you the process for making it!

Have you ever wanted to make a sign like this? Stick around, there may just be a blog post and YouTube video coming soon! https://t.co/I231DpORrf

To cut the lining on a 45 & used my @klingsporwoodworkingshop cross cut blade. It is the cleanest cross cutting blade I've ever used! Not... https://t.co/9pNGbGolNz

Here it is! The last row of stone is in!!!

Next we'll refinish the counter top and then wrap up the trim work! Thanks for all of y'alls support on this project. It's been a huge time commitment, but we're thrilled with the results! https://t.co/Uqt3nGPYVI

What's the longest project you've taken on?

Mixing up the last bit of mortar for our stone fireplace! This has been a long time coming y'all!

I needed to put a little filler on a seam in the cove molding. So I went with patch-n-paint by DAP which did a great job!

What products do you use for filling nail holes and hiding seams? https://t.co/o1UwJQXZVF

[Mike @WoodShopMike]

What are your go to products for prep and paint?

With just a little left to go on the rock, it's time to prep, prime, and paint the case and molding. This way we can paint the underside of the case without... https://t.co/cxwjxVVJqA

Here's why we added the 1/4" strip of plywood behind the bottom surface of our cove molding. This layer of trim now sits back just a touch from the bottom edge of the cove. It's a really subtle touch, but it... https://t.co/9rx7cHkLls

[Mike @WoodShopMike]

The cove molding is looking great! I added a layer of 1/4 ply at the bottom to bump it off the wall a touch so the next round of trim would line up where we want it.

Definitely not going to be challenging... https://t.co/1nmSrLwVP3

[Mike @WoodShopMike]

I installed the "box" by screwing it to some furring strips and made sure that my screws would be covered up by the cove molding I'll start installing tonight! Every bit of progress on this thing feels like a... https://t.co/6IIyTqOGaG

The theme of last weekend is pretty much captured in these shots. I spent a lot of time with this big 'ole angle grinder cutting down stone for our fireplace!
