Call them whatever you want, cutting boards, bread boards or pastry boards, it doesn't make any difference, they are very useful in the kitchen.  Years ago we were selling cutting boards that had a particle board interior with a 1" hardwood side rail on each side that could be trimmed and it had a very thick maple veneer on both surfaces...

Maybe you live in a rickety old house like I do and you have old cabinets that are still sound but with old worn out hinges and you want to replace the hinges only.  Our house has 3/8” inset hinges that are self-closing and free-swinging.  We have half inch overlay hinges that are single demountable and double demountable. We have...

People often ask what is the best way to clean my kitchen cabinet knobs and pulls. A mild soap and water is the best way, using harsh chemical and abrasive cleaners will actually remove the clear coat finish that will wreck your handles. This will often void any warranty as this is not the recommended way to clean cabinet hardware. ...

Have you ever seen a mix ratio cup like the type used for mixing paint?  If you have then you have noticed all the numbers on the cup.  When I was going to use one to mix paint the first time I nearly went into afib. I am better now. DiAnne (that’s my wife) told me to calm down and figure it...

Normally I would not think of writing a blog about cabinet and furniture levelers (leg levelers). It wasn’t until I once considered using them and didn’t that the value of levelers became apparent to me. We used to be able to say that the house we live in has never had water in the basement.

Watch the video and see why she loved it. The inspiration for the flower pot shelving came from a shelf bracket I used in the garage to support a cabinet that was breaking down...

There is never a wrong time to add shelving to your garage or house.  And surprisingly there always seems to be a place for more shelving and storage. Right now is a good time to run around the house and garage to see if you can find a place for more shelving. Here is another way to approach it.  Look...

We recently bought our first house which is a 1951 bungalow style house just outside of Minneapolis. It was a competitive housing market so despite a dingy kitchen, we loved the house! We decided to add value and enhance the look of the house so the first thing we wanted to do is update the kitchen. This is what we...

To prevent water damage to your cabinets, you should fix and close all water leakage points that you can spot in your kitchen.

Paper towels, cloth rags, or something in between... how do you make the right choice? Let me tell you about one really good "in-betweener". It is neither a paper towel nor a cloth rag. It is the SuperTuff Shop Towel available from Woodworker’s Hardware. This is a very good shop towel with a cloth-like feel and they are super absorbent...
