Build a workshop in a living room condo?

Victor G Asked: Build a workshop in a living room condo?

Hi,
i have a 1 bedroom condo with a living room. There is no furniture there. So the space is empty and opens onto a small patio. I wish to make a small workshop here where i can work on some small scale woodworking projects. it would be nice to enclose a section of the living room and make the workshop there so the tools are not an eyesore to the guest.
How do I go about this? like…create an enclosure with a door inside the living room that would be like a curtain mostly

John M Answered:
For your first project, build a work bench that tilts out, similar to a murphy bed, but has legs that fold down to hold it at workbench height when open.Cover the bench when folded up with a good quality cover made of smooth plywood with a stain finish that matches the rest of the woodwork or provides an attractive contrast.If you use 1/4 CDX plywood or a similar product, you can make a box that is light weight that you can lift off the closed bench before you open it up.Store tools in a cabinet built below the folded bench.

Eric Huber, You’re a Season 4 Everyday Edison!

Edison Nation CEO, Louis Foreman, tells inventor Eric Huber, he's been chosen for Season 4 of "Everyday Edisons!" Eric Huber has always had an entrepreneurial spirit. As early as 8 years old, he began coming up with ideas, writing them down and sometimes turning those ideas into creations. He once even built a 5" tall, fully functional guillotine for a book report on the French Revolution. At the age of 16, Eric began Easels Creations, a start-up born from his love of woodworking in his father's garage, where he designed and made decorative and functional easels for businesses, students, and artists. Seeing the success of his small company while still in high school, Eric realized the possibilities related to designing, making and selling things, which officially led to a lifelong passion for inventing. Throughout Eric's career, he explored many opportunities, including a brief stint as an actor and model; a second start-up, IDEA, inc., which supplied products and services to the local Oregon entertainment industry; and his current position as vice president of one of the largest commercial playground and outdoor recreation rep companies in the country. Even still, the inventing bug never left Eric, who continued to invent on the side as a hobby, creating a portfolio of 90+ ideas. In 2009, things would take a turn and inventing would become more than just a hobby. Eric, with his portfolio in tow, attended a Las Vegas inventor convention, where the featured speaker was <b>…</b>

Is it impractical to build a large table out of real ebony wood?

Carlie Asked: Is it impractical to build a large table out of real ebony wood?

I love the look of gabon ebony, but I don't know much about it or woodworking. I guess I'm asking if money or tools aren't an issue, is it still impractical? Are there other factors I don't know about, ie weight or hardiness?

MJ Miller Answered:
When money is no object, don't worry – you may need to have everything sharpened many times b/c ebony is very dense and had to work with but your end result will be beautiful!

Go at it and enjoy. You will build muscles at the same time.

Undecided Question: How to inlet a gun stock?

Clay Asked: Undecided Question: How to inlet a gun stock?

Can anyone please help me to inlet this stock blank i have I've never done one and I don't know what I need. I have been woodworking for over 10 years now so I'm not new to that I've also been doing custom stock work and would like to expand to to doing everything from a blank. Any help would be much appreciated and thank you for your time.

Go to the Brownell's website and look at their gunsmithing tools for stock makingYou'll find a number of tools that will make your life easier, including a stock inletting tool.



Answered:
Actually, inletting a stock is relatively simple. But you do it with epoxy. First, most stocks are roughly inletted for specific guns. The usual process is to contact the stock makers and tell them the action and barrel you have and they will send you a stock that will accept the barreled action. But the fit will be a bit loose. So the first thing to do is check the fit. Then get an epoxy bedding kit (Brownells is the source for this). You mix the epoxy and put it in the stock on those areas where the metal will contact the wood. Be sure to put the release agent on the metal so the stock and barreled action can be separated. You probably want to "free float" the barrel…which means the barrel channel shouldn't contact the barrel to prevent the wood from warping and pressing against the barrel and affect accuracy. With the release agent on the metal parts, and the epoxy liberally applied to the inletted portions of the stock, put the barreled action into the stock and tighten the stock screws. Wipe off all extruded epoxy. Go to sleep. The next day carefully remove the stock from the barreled action. You should find an exact fit with the hardened expoxy perfectly mating to the barreled action. There are some good books out on stock making, checkering ( which is kind of fun) and they will discuss inletting and bedding a stock. Enjoy.
