Folding workbench
Made this to use a part of the garage. Used an h frame for the folding legs. Now looking at how to lock them folded. Found some strong magnets on Amazon and gonna give it a shot. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

In the one pic is it just leaning folded against the wall? If that's where's it's going to be used, why not just attach it to the wall with hinges? That way it just folds to the wall. You can make some cleats to hold the legs in.

Have you thought about making a wooden tab to hold the legs in place. I have an example here keeping a saw in place. Cheap and effective.

Lisa, assuming you have access to You Tube, find Sawdust and Splinters. This creator has only been a woodworker for 2 years now. Go back in history and see her first few videos. She shared how she started and you can watch her amazing progression. And if you really want to be inspired, check out 3x3 Custom, she produces awesome material. Good luck!

DowelMax, Trinity Dowel Maker or Kreg Edge
I've been contemplating a DowelMax or the upcoming trinity but I have sticker shock. At these prices I'm thinking I'll hold off for the kreg edge coming out this fall. What do folks think?

I have a domino and I love it. I've been making mortis and tenons with hand tools and power for over 45 years. I gladly use the domino to put in mortis quickly, efficiently and in some cases would have been difficult to do otherwise. Recently I made a waterfall edge console, using the domino on the 45 degree edges. Took me about 10 minutes to layout, about a minute to drill with domino. Domino is a tool like anything else.

Commissions
I love making something unique I haven't made before to a clients expectations (hopefully exceeding them). This is a an electronics console, featuring waterfall ends, chamfered front, dovetailed undermount drawers, brass hardware, and lots of grooved openings for ventilation. The client was very specific, he wanted it 75"L x 21"W x 21"H.

Not a cabinet builder but sometimes the job calls for it.
As the guy that built them, I saw so many flaws to the point I almost told the client I’m going to go get some pre made boxes. But in the end they were extremely happy with them and I realized I’m more critical of myself than anyone else will ever be. Guess that’s why we are all here right, to get better? Happy Saturday everyone, hope everyone’s projects are going smoothly for them. Also side note, if anyone has ever built a desk I could use some pointers. Had a church commission me for one so now I’m on the hook😬

A master woodworker told me a long time ago: the best woodworkers are measured by their skill in fixing their mistakes that no one else can see. Looks like you did it!
