554 Small bowl for holding stuff
I can't believe this is happening to me, but I'm getting bit by the turning bug and it's obvious it's contagious! Now that my time in the shop is currently less than it use to be, I really want to...

553 The Small Pine Cabinet
Who doesn't need a little more storage space? Whether it's in the woodshop like me, or any where else throughout your living space, small cabinets help to tuck away the clutter and keep things organized. In this episode we're making...

552 Chisel Talk "3 chisels to start with"
Over the years there have been a lot of questions from new woodworkers. One of the most frequent is "should I buy a full set of chisels or just one or two?" The easy answer is "YES get a full...

551 Simple Cabinet Construction Pt 2 - "Face Frames, Doors & More"
In the previous episode of this two part series "550 Simple Cabinet Construction Pt 1" we started the construction on a pair of overhead cabinets for a laundry room. The cabinets are about as simple in design and construction as...

550 Simple Cabinet Construction Pt 1
Don't tell my wife, but after all these years of her asking if I'd ever consider building new cabinets for our kitchen I'm finally getting around to doing it. Except they're not for the kitchen, and they're not even for...

419 Maple Child's Dresser Pt 5
Today's episode is the 5th part of the series on the Child's dresser. We've jumped ahead a little bit as in real time I started to fall behind so I did some assembly work with the camera off. ...
08.23.2015
420 Czeck Edge Ruler-Stop
Today's Try It Tuesday is a look at the Czeck Edge Ruler-Stop currently available at Highland Woodworking. A handy little tool that literally fits in the palm of your hand but still has the ability to do great big...
08.23.2015
421 Maple Child's Dresser Wrap Up

08.23.2015
422 Veritas Surface Vise
There are a lot of workbench accessories on the market, but typically they're either something that needs to be built as part of the workbench top and are nearly permanent components or they're small useful items, but don't have much...
08.23.2015
425 Milescraft SignPro
There are times when I just want to make something for fun and I don't want to spend a lot of time worrying about all the details to make it right. Of course, I do want to make sure...

427 GRR-Ripper
It's Safety Week 2010 and it only makes sense for this week's "Try It Tuesday" to be a safety device. A while ago we had a chance to give-away a Micro-Jig GRR-Ripper as part of our monthly schwag drawing....
08.23.2015
428 Checklist for Safety
We're close to wrapping up SAFETY WEEK 2010 and I stumbled across a great article at WOOD Magazine's website. Not one to let a good thing slide by, I asked the folks at WOOD for permission to share it...
08.23.2015
431 Shop Apron
Today's "Try it Tuesday" is all about my shop apron, more specifically the Leather Apron from Highland Woodworking. With it's generous proportions, it's deep flap covered pockets and it's really comfortable feel (once it's properly broken in that is)...
08.23.2015
432 Handplane Screwdriver
Today's Try it Tuesday is the Lee Valley Handplane Screwdriver. Since the next few episodes will be continuing our discussion of hand planes, it only makes sense we need to cover some tools or accessories that go along with...
08.23.2015
433 Jack Planes "The Rough Ones"
Finally returning to our discussion on hand planes we pick back up by talking about the roughest planes on the bench. The Jack Planes! This class of bench plane falls between the large jointers and the smaller smoothers,...
08.23.2015
434 Replacement Blades
The quickest and easiest way to improve an old hand plane is to swap out the original blade and maybe even the chipbreaker. Not that there's anything truly wrong with the original pieces, other than a little surface rust...
08.23.2015
435 Jointer Planes
Moving along with our discussion of bench planes it's time to take a look at the jointer planes. The jointers are our middle of the road tools. These are the tools we reach for once we've taken our...
08.23.2015
436 Jointer Fence
Today's "Try it Tuesday" is the Veritas Jointer Fence. A great accessory for the hand plane user to help get nice square edges on your stock. Usable with almost all of the bench planes, it attaches to the body via...
08.23.2015
437 Smoothing Planes
We wrap up our discussion of the bench planes today with a discussion about Smoothing Planes. Next to the Jack Planes, the smoothers are probably one of the more common planes in the shop. In the Stanley Numbering...

08.23.2015
440 Maple Bookcase Pt 2
With the side panels glued up and grooved to recess our adjustable shelf hardware it's time to move on to the next part of the Maple Kid's Bookcase. In today's episode we cut and prep the fixed shelves then...

441 Maple Bookcase Pt 3

08.23.2015
442 WIA 2010 Day 1
Another Woodworking in America has come and gone and it's left a lasting impression. Not just on me but everybody I've talked with who attended. This is like no other woodworking show out there right now. It's...
08.23.2015
443 WIA 2010 Day 2
Let's take one more trip back to Woodworking in America 2010 and I'll share with you a few more classes I attended as part of this ongoing amazing experience. I eluded to the "mourning phase" after leaving the show and coming...
08.23.2015
444 Maple Bookcase Pt 4
In today's episode we get a look at the finished Kid's Maple Bookcase. When I originally recorded the footage I was literally minutes away from the clients picking it up, so I may have skipped over some details you'd...
08.23.2015
445 Bookcase Questions
If you have any questions from today's episode or any from the first 3 episodes of this series. Don't hesitate to drop me a line "EMAIL ME". Some of you already have, and I'll be addressing those questions...
08.23.2015
446 Shop Tour
I can't remember the last time I did any kind of shop tour in my current basement workshop, so after much prodding by a few of you (especially you John!!!) I decided it was time to invite all of you...
08.23.2015
448 Building a Brese Plane Kit Pt 1
It's been a long time in the making and that has nothing to do with the kit itself! My Brese J-Style Small Smoother has finally been completed and is making the most amazing shavings a plane has ever taken...
08.23.2015
449 Building a Brese Plane Kit Pt 2
In this episode we'll wrap up the final assembly of this amazing little smoother plane and I'll explain the right way to do it, while also explaining WHAT I ended up doing instead. Of course luckily in the end it all...
08.23.2015
450 1st of 2011
It's official! Five years of Matt's Basement Workshop Podcast and it's still going strong. I've talked before about the beginnings of the show so there's no need to re-hash it again...but you're welcome to ask me about it...
08.23.2015
451 Walnut Buffet Pt 1
It's time to get back to some serious content...or at least as close as I'll come to it. Today we start the construction of the Walnut Buffet. This is part 1 of a multi-part series and it begins with the...
08.23.2015
452 Walnut Buffet Pt 2
In the second part of the construction of our friend's Walnut Buffet we've completed the construction of the carcass that makes up the majority of the project. From this point forward it's now a matter of adding pieces of...
08.23.2015
453 Walnut Buffet Pt 3
In today's episode we start construction of the doors. But before we can really get into it, I need to cut and install the horizontal dividers between the drawers and doors. For this part of the project I...
08.23.2015
454 Walnut Buffet Pt 4
Today we're installing the doors on the Walnut Buffet. The design requires inset doors, which can be very tricky to get placed correctly for an uniform reveal on all four edges. Thankfully I chose European style hinges for...
08.23.2015
455 Walnut Buffet Pt 5
We're nearing the end of the Walnut Buffet build. Just a couple more episodes and we're done. If you have any questions so far about some aspect of the construction, drop me a line EMAIL YOUR QUESTION or...

08.23.2015
457 Walnut Buffet Pt 7
On today's show we're wrapping up the walnut buffet build. Really there's not much more to discuss other than the finishing process, and how and why I chose to roll my nicely laid out mitered edges on the top...
08.23.2015
458 Hock Shoulder Plane
Maybe I'm getting a little kit crazy, but I've built my second hand plane from a kit and I'm loving it. In today's episode I'm showing off my new Hock Shoulder Plane that I built a few weeks ago. It's...
08.23.2015

08.23.2015
462 Walls of Shelves Pt 4

08.23.2015
463 Walls of Shelves Pt. 5
It's the final episode in the "Walls of Shelves" series. In today's episode I'm applying a veneer edge banding to the exposed edges of the shelving units and ALL the shelves that go with them. Unlike in previous builds where...

466 WIA Marketplace
Regardless of how many times I've been to Woodworking in America the one place that gets all my attention, and apparently that of the vast majority of show visiters, is the Marketplace. Where else will you find some of the...
08.23.2015
467 WIA 2011 Lectures pt 1
This week starts the first of two episodes featuring selected clips from some of the classes I attended at Woodworking in America 2011. There are a lot of great classes to choose from and the lecturers are equally fantastic. While...
