In the hopes of making this a more open site and enabling more dialog, I had removed the need to register before leaving a comment.  The spammers decided that made this site an easy target so I found it necessary to again make it a requirement to register before leaving a comment. 

I apologize for the inconvenience.

I hope that you will still leave some feedback and let me know what you think of the site and what else you would like to see on the site.

Pixels & Sawdust announces its first downloadable package of shop drawings for the Small Lumber Cart.  With a footprint of only 25” X 48” and storage for lumber and sheet goods, the Small Lumber Cart is great for smaller woodworking shops.

The package includes the shop drawings, a materials list and cutting diagrams.  The downloadable document is in .pdf format.  If you do not already have it, you can download the new Adobe Reader® here free to view and print the document.

Happy Woodworking,

This is an update to a previous post.

If your new to SketchUp or LayOut and think a Quick Reference Card that you can print out and keep handy would be helpful, you can find them here:

My SketchUp model of an adjustable assembly table is now available in the Download Area. 

I based the model on a project in a Issue #30 of ShopNotes.  I changed the legs to give it more height, the top from MDF to melamine and the adjustment pin knobs to make them easier to grab.

The assembly table consists of a main work surface and two “wings”.  The wings can be lowered to save space or raised to double the work area.  The work surface is also adjustable up or down as required to accommodate a variety of assembly projects.

The main work surface measures 36”X36”.  The “wings” are 18”X36” each.  With both “wings” raised, the work surface is 72”X36”.

The height of the work surface is adjustable from 24-1/2” to 32-1/8”.

There are high definition and low definition versions of the model available.
