The Broke Woodworker
Cameron, On k0M1G0 Kawartha Lakes, ON, Canada

The kid is back! After a little break, We are back up and running. When almost all your work relays on one tool to WORK that tool better WORK. When one thing breaks right after another, everything spirals out of control. No I’m not talking about Jessica’s iron, I’m talking about our dang CNC! Now that we have that cleared up, here’s my edge banding set up with a pretty dope tune, enjoy!

Who doesn’t love the way Odies oil makes this maple pop this one was a first for us, and I’m sure only the hunters out there are picturing mounting a buck to this bad boy #taxidermy #maple #signshop #customengraving #familynamesign #familycrest #nurserydecor #companylogo #epoxyinlay #epoxyart #ontariowood #namesigns #cncengraving #laserengraved #customwoodworking #etsycanada #etsyshopcanada #etsyowner #blackwalnut #youdreamitwebuildit #handmadeincanada #madeincanadamatters #fulltimetofreedom #bestIGwoodworking #epoxyresin #thebrokewoodworker

When coordinating is the only way, who would like a matching set for their next party? Whenever that may be..... what’s on your workbench this week? #charcuterieboard #cncengraving #handcarved #ash #epoxywoodworking #rivertable #resinworks #resinart #chillfam #handmadeinontario #epoxyart #closinggift #corporategift #statementpiece #ropehandles #weshipworldwide #buyonetsy #sellonetsy #durhamregionhandmade #servingtray #caledon #torontobusiness #dinetoronto #orilla #cncshop #customwoodworking #epoxycoasters

What’s the best part of a glue up for you? Ours is laying out our panels and selecting the right grain patterns and colours, it’s like an artist’s blank canvas only in our case the canvas has character. Now saying that once our panels are glued up it is pretty satisfying scraping that excess glue off! I’m a carbide scraper kinda guy, Jess is a chisel and peel kinda gal. Are you in it for the satisfaction or to get it done!! #customfurniture #handcrafted #toolreview #tooladdict #carbidescraper #ontariowood #cncmachining #handmade #handmadeincanada #canadianmade #reaturantfurniture #entrywaybench #builtinfurniture #halltree #kawarthalakes #torontofurniture #furnituredesign #furnituremaker #haliburton #caledon #hardwoodfurniture #ontariowoodworking #canadianwoodworking #epoxyresin #cncengraved #makersmvmt #thebrokewoodworker

One of our favourite pieces to date! Anytime you place an order more often than not, you are talking back and forth with me, Jessica. So when something we haven’t done before comes in, I run it past the brains of the operation (Taylor) and explain what YOU want, he then tells me how we’re going to do it! This was no exception! This box was something completely out of our comfort zone, a brand new challenge - from the continuous grain pattern around the box, to the reinforced ...lid to prevent warping, this project challenged us in more ways than one but we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out - and the same goes for our client...which in the end is all that matters! #lakemap #outdoorbox #poolaccessory #backyardvibes #moiralake #engraving #cncengraving #epoxyresin #epoxylakemap #itsallinthedetails #cedaroutdoorbox #customwoodworking #customorder #shopsmall #shoplocal #supporthandmade #handmade #dreamteam #thebrokewoodworker #thebrokewoodworkHER @ Durham Region

Stop blocks save time Next mitre station I build I will be placing my t-track in-line or behind my fence line so that I’m able to have a flip stop. A flip stop which would allow the ability to use two stop blocks during the same steps. As well as being able flip them both out of the way and still cut those longer pieces down. Save this post so you can stick it on your first mitre saw station build! I’m thinking my next build will also be on castors too!... #mitersawstation #mitersaw #cornholeboards #dewalttough #incra #efficiency #woodshop #woodworking #woodshoptips #precision #yardzee #liveedgefurniture #customwoodworking #basementshop #workshopwins #thebrokewoodworker
