Thanks Clint, Tom and Jeff!&nbsp; It sounds like it may still be ok with my 16&quot; swing lathe.&nbsp; I&#39;m considering getting larger (#3) jaws for it.</p>

Does anyone out there use the OneWay Talon Chuck. What is the practical limit on the size of a bowl you would turn with this chuck?

Thanks in advance for your help!

"Make a chair from a tree" by John Alexander. Not sure if it us still in print but this is a great book and has influenced many chairmakers and woidworkers.

I have a basement shop and wanted to keep all the dust away from the rest of the family. I went the same route as Kirk. First buying a dust deputy and hooking it up to a shop vac. That worked...

I am building a Robou style bench and used the Benchcrafted bench bolts for the stretchers since I wanted it to be able to get the bench out of my basement if I ever moved. I used stub tennons and...

+1 for the Lee Valley apron...it is great

There is a yahoo group for Inca tool owners and there is a wealth of information out there. Someone likely has fabricated one that you can look at. Just google inca tool owners group and I'm sure...

Ian, I am also making a Roubo like bench and want it to a "Knock Down" version. I think that a single stretcher mortise and tennoned will be enough to prevent it from racking provided the tenons are...

Zahid:

It looks like a great bench -- thanks for sharing it with us. How do you like using the leg vise?

I tried contacting both Stanley and Highland Woodworking. They both told me that their parts may fit the plane. I'm going to look for a donor plane and work with what I have now. Thanks for all the...

Thanks to all for the helpful advice. I still cannot get the adjustment knob off the stud. I'm going to try soaking the thing in some other toxic fluid (other than WD40) and then try removing it. ...

Thanks Jim-I was putting it in clockwise instead of counterclockwise! I got it to thread into the frog. However, when I turn the adjuster knob the knob doesn't turn on the thread and instead comes...

I recently purchased a circa 1930 Stanley Bailey No. 8C (type 14 I think) that I thought was in pretty good shape. I took it apart and soaked the pieces in citric acid to get rid of the rust. When...

August 1991 FWW had a very good article on dado blades. Even though it's 20 years old, there is still some good info. there.

I have been using this 6" dado set for a few years now and I think it is a good compromise between quality and price. As expressed by others, it may not leave a perfect cut but it is pretty darn...

If you can pick up a used Inca 10" bandsaw, you will love it. I have been using one for several years and am very happy with it.

Mark and Stewie:

Thanks for the info!

I have never made one before but am contemplating it. I'm getting tired of the blisters I get from using my stanley bailey on the shooting board and I can't affort $500 for a new LN. Any tips on...

I like your design. It is definitely a very nice addition to your home!

Jeff:

I have a similar sized shopt 13x18x7 and (after much deliberation) went with a 2hp super dust gorilla from Ondeida. Before that I had been using a shop vac with an Oneida Dust Deputy. I...

Please count me in!!!

Please count me in!!!

Yes, I'm using the registration jig and it starts out nice and square. Based on your comments, I'll give it another try concentrating on keeping the jig vise parallel when tightening it. If that...

Has anyone used the MKII to sharpen chisels? My chisels keep turning in the jig so that the blade is no longer square to the jig. I have tightened the thing up but the chisels still move. I am...

I too started with an 8" makita portable. When I realized its limitations I expanded it with a Rouseau fence. That worked for a bit until I wanted to use a dado blade and a tennoning jig. I then...
