I have the same problem. Here in Texas, I am looking for a near new Ski Nautique for pennies on the dollar. I guess no one is giving there boats away??? Very frustrating!
What is a “short fence”?
Checkout YouTube, Extreme Woodworker, Fritz & Franz jig. He includes a parts list too. He has several great “slider” videos.
F&F jigs are essential for sliders. I am a big fan of clamps for...
I think the Hermance heads are the finest heads available for machine upgrades. I want to put one in my Northfield 16HD.
I spent just a tad more for my Martin T45 with XPlane helical cutter head...
I have used Old Dominion in the past and had very good service through each phase of the process. I thought they were pretty reasonable. The tricky part is always the crating, pickup and delivery. ...
I own a Martin T45 with their XPlane (helical) head. Almost everything that goes through it is extremely figured Koa and Maple. The results are literally breath taking. A Tersa head may match...
Are we talking woodworking here or lunar landings?
Accuracy usually degrades as any project develops. Nice “dialed-in” machinery and tooling is a desired start but it’s only the start. I’ve...
Nice Marquetry Mike. I’m thinking you might be a Paul Schurch disciple? I am as well.
I have a 1” Lenox Woodmaster CT on my 20” Agazzani. It is a great resale blade.
Two years ago, I...
I would put a 1” carbide blade on your 20” bandsaw and never touch the blade again. Sell one of the two scroll saws and put that money towards a 14” bandsaw that would do all the small cutting you...
I have a Kundig Uniq edge sander with most of the options. I like that it is a spindle sander as well. Also a support table for the roller/end of sander. The whole head oscillates and is...
Yes, sliders are more expensive. Some way more expensive. I bought my first table saw at 15. I have 45 years operating contractor and cabinet saws. Since owning a slider, I am constantly creating...
If you all only knew how much safer a sliding table saw is compared to the type of saws you’re talking about here.
With clamps or a F&F jig your body and hands are NEVER anywhere near the blade.
I’m a fan of metal on metal. What I have done is find a machinist, take him the miter gauge that came w the saw and have a couple of sets made for a few different sleds (different functions). Have...
To me, asking what type of hollowing rig is like asking what type of bowl gouge? The type of hollowing rig depends on what size of vessel you want to hollow? Hollowing a vessel less than 10”...
Count me in... or off the Bessey K-Body bandwagon. Have had about 10 of them for nearly twenty years. Rarely use them and when I do, I am reminded why I rarely use them. Anyone want them for free,...
Actually 90% might be low?
I have been involved with competitive and professional woodworking for over 20 years. Have several professional WW friends with mad skills. But almost all use machinery...

Thanks for the very informative reply.
There are certainly a huge variety of mortise and tenon joints available to a woodworker. Most of those illustrations are far too overly complicated...
“I hesitate to refer to the Domino as “mortice-and-tenon”. The joint it makes is a loose tenon. This is a production joint. It lacks the design and application range of a true tenon, which can...
This topic comes up a lot on this forum.
The short answer is of course you can make money in woodworking. But is a career in WW lucrative and or sustainable can only be answered by the...
The OP’s frustration with his drum sander is unfortunately all too common. I have said this many times.... small drum sanders are a flawed design. Guys always jump on this saying the operator is...
I guess it really boils down to what youÂ’re making and how passionate you are about it. About 95% of my wood turning projects (large Hollow Forms) take over a year to complete. The other 5% are...
I have a 3” Mirka Ceros ROS. It performs exactly like the 5” or 6” which I believe are the best sanders. Of course they no longer make the Ceros sanders.
I use my 3” for leveling lacquer finishes...
I bought my first pipe clamps when I was a teenager because thatÂ’s what the high school wood shop had. Later in life when I heard about KBody parallel clamps, I bought about 15 of them in various...
I bought my NF 16HD over the phone in less than an hour after it was posted for sale on another website. My inspection was a “walk-around” via FaceTime. To this day, I have never checked the tables...
