How to Make a Bandsaw Box without a Bandsaw - An Un-Bandsaw Box
I like the look of bandsaw boxes, but I don't have a bandsaw. I wanted to see if I could make something that emulated a bandsaw box anyway. It's not emulating the more familiar drawer style box, but the kind with the removable lid. All you absolutely need is a jigsaw, drill, router table with flush trim bit, and some sandpaper.
I have a new thickness planer, but it's too heavy to pick up and put it on the bench when I want to use it. I made a simple stand from 2 x 4's and plywood. It was inexpensive and easy, a great shop project.

You can make a simple step stool using dowel joinery. I show you how to make it not easy. I can goof it up and make it as complicated as possible.

I made this simple magnetic parts holder using rare earth magnets and some scrap wood I had around the garage. I hope I can use this to avoid losing small pieces.

Sometimes things don't go as you plan. I wanted to make an end grain cutting board, but as I progressed through the project I hated the results. I considered scrapping the whole thing, but I decided make it into a trivet (or hot plate).

My wife wanted a step poser for use with here photography business. I saw similar ones to this that sold for $300 plus shipping. I had a lot of poplar and not so much time, but if anything, I'm cheap. I had to rush to get this done for some dance pictures she was doing. I used a pocket hole jog for joinery.

In honor of the NFL Kickoff weekend, I made a wooden placekicker toy. I had one of these toys when I was a child. You would it him on the head and he would kick the football, hopefully through the goal post. I made a version out of wood so I could have my very own wooden football kicker with a super toe.

I recently purchased a bench top bandsaw. Since I made a "bandsaw" box without a bandsaw a couple of months ago, I decided to try for a real, albeit small, bandsaw box. How did it go? Well...it was somewhat of a fail.

Build a "Haunted Mansion" Shadow Box with Disney Pins
When we went to Walt Disney World on vacation we purchased some pins as souvenirs. They featured Micky, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy on the Haunted Mansion portraits in the "stretching room." I built a shadow box out of MDF and red oak, and included an LED touch light for illumination.

One jig you should really make for your table saw is a cross cut sled. It will improve your accuracy and ability to make repeatable cuts. Whatever you are making, it will make things much easier. So after about two years with this saw, I finally got around to making a cross-cut sled. I even used the 5 cut method to check the accuracy of the fence.
Here are some videos that explain the 5 cut method in detail.
