The joiner’s mallet is a key tool in a woodworker’s shop! It is used to drive chisels, encourage tough joints to align, and in rare occasions, “release some tension.” Ashten and Adam worked together to create a new mallet for Adam as a gift from Ashten for Father’s Day.

Join Adam, Chief Mistake Officer of Sunflower Woodworking, as he takes us through how to build a router MFT / MPT for a Bora Centipede. Made from Baltic Birch 3/4" plywood, this table is a dog bench, T-track bench, and router table all in one. It is also collapsible and can be easily stored away for shops where space is at a premium!

Last year, we got into milling some of our own wood, harvested from downed trees in the area. But it takes roughly one year per inch (2.5cm) of wood thickness to air dry. We studied all we could about water and wood, kiln designs & operations, temperature, EMC (Equilibrium Moisture Content), and on. While we can’t recite equations used in kiln operations, we've gotten some great results!
