I'm cleaning up the edges of this Harvey catch-all tray by giving it a 1/4" roundover on the Sawstop router table. The bit rounds over the bottom edge, but also takes off the little bit left over from cutting off the excess on the bandsaw. @SawStop #sawstop #woodworking

I’m cutting out this Harvey tray with the mascot guy. My bandsaw is the Harvey C14 Ambassador and I love it. The wood is curly sapele. I’ll take this over to the router table and put a quarter inch round over on the bottom edge. @harveywoodworking #harveywoodworking #harvey

The Foundry Distillery in Des Moines, Iowa recently rebranded so I was asked to update the logo on this bottle display I made a few years ago.  The display is made mostly from a white oak whiskey barrel. t12distillery.us/ @T12Distillery @SurfPrepSanding #12distillery

Here is another great video from Ralph at MicroJig at IWF explaining the new GRR-RIP ReNew.  It cleans the bottom of all of your Grippers with the green material on the bottom to maximize your grip. Microjig affiliate link: microjig.com?sca_ref=8861957… @MicroJig #microjig #jig

I got out the Bessey KBody clamps for this white oak glue up. The pieces are 5/4 thick and the overall size of this glue up is about 28" X 34".  This will be a sign that I will carve on the CNC, so watch for that coming up soon. @BesseyTools #bessey #clamp #clamping #glueup

I just got the ISOtunes Free 2.0 bluetooth earbuds.  This updated set of earbuds from ISOtunes is super convenient for working in a shop or out on a job site. The small size case lets you carry them in your front pocket. @ISOtunesAudio #gifted #isotunes #speaker #music #hearing

I made this Harvey Woodworking valet tray using Vectric Aspire. Vectric Aspire made it very easy to visualize what the final 3D carving would look like and create the tool paths for the Onefinity CNC. Check out Vectric vectric.com @Vectric @OnefinityCA #vectricltd

Here are the three bears for comparison.  One is the original that my grandfather carved 51 years ago, one is a 3D printed version, and one is the one I just carved on the Onefinity CNC with the Redline CNC controller and spindle. #onefinitycnc #redlinecnc #CNC #carving #carve

Today I am using my favorite Bessey Tools clamp, the Bessey KBody clamp. I have been using these for years and love how great they work. I like how they stand up on their own and have incredible clamping power. @BesseyTools #ad #collaboration #lifter #lifting #bessey

I am jointing some boards on the Oliver Machinery 8" helical head jointer.  I like to mark the board edges with this Tracer Tools pencil. @TRACERTools  @olivermachinery #swantoolgroup #olivermachinery #tracertools #marking #jointing

I’m cutting up some 5/4 white oak on the Sawstop tablesaw. It powers right through this hard wood. These will be turned into a sign for a friend.  Next I need to run these through the jointer to get a good 90 degree glue edge. #sawstop #woodworking #woodworkers #saw #tablesaw

I had a chance to stop by the Harvey headquarters recently and see the updates to the showroom area.  It has changed significantly since I was last there 10 months ago. It's always great to walk around and look at high quality tools. #harveywoodworking #harvey #bandsaw #saw
