Want to make perfect fitting dados wider than a blade without any calculations for fence movement? A kerfmaker is your solution. Many people have shown their take on this concept but this one seems to be the best that I’ve found. So simple. So useful.

Shelter Institute

Timber framing vs conventional stick framing. If money weren’t an option, which one would you pick? I think the majority of people would pick the timber frame structure. It’s the exposed character that draws me in but there are more benefits than what meets the eye.

A very well done homemade table saw fence system. The material looks interesting. The comments say it is HMR board which just stands for High Moisture Resistance.

Nancy Quan Builds

Great information in this one. Often times you want to have a thicker table top but don’t want it to look so chunky on the ends. This technique will make the top appear thinner and lighter while giving it an interesting edge detail.

Essential Craftsman

A great conversation about working harder and working smarter while building a ramp. I had no idea what to expect when I pressed play but I soon realized the video was over and I was completely sucked in for 12 minutes. Thanks for the talk, Scott. Much appreciated.

    Social housing nonprofit New Story is using a giant three-dimensional (3D) printer to create the world’s first 3D-printed neighborhood in a rural section of Tabasco, Mexico. The project already has completed two 3D-printed homes, and New Story hopes to print 50 new houses by the end of next year, replacing structures that residents built themselves. The 33-foot printer prints out a concrete mix that hardens when it dries, creating walls one layer at a time. It takes a total of 24 hours over several days to build two 500-sq.ft. houses at the same time, about twice as fast as it takes New Story to build homes using standard construction methods. Said ICON CEO Jason Ballard, “In the future, our bet is that this will be humanity’s best hope for a housing solution that that matches our highest values and ideals.”
