I've been through a similar accident myself. Time does heal. It got my attention too.

Very nice work!
I have got to get to work on the drawers for mine.

Hey Ron,
I just finished mine a few weeks back. You'll wonder every time you use it how you ever did without it!
Jim
Hey John,
You never did say if you were going to have to do some wiring in your new shop. If so, you'll probably need to remove the sheetrock to do that anyway. Wire it, insulate it, cover it up....
I did the same as Dick, I figured #10 was a bit safer as I couldn't overload it, and if I ever needed to upgrade to 30amp in the future, I'd just have to change the breaker. I don't remember the...
I've bought three older saws (one dovetail, two tennon) on EBAY and I'd like to get them properly sharpened. I've heard that Tom Law is the man to see for sharpening traditional handsaws. Anybody...
I could barely make out the smaller ones with my ever older eyes!
Many thanks,
Jim
I hope I explain this well. I want to attach trim around the top and the bottom of the mahogany posts of the bed headboard and footboards I'm making. The trim will probably be curly maple cut from...
On my unisaw the main purpose of the rear rail of the beis fence setup seems to be to support the right side extension table. An invaluable resource I can't imagine doing without.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the kind words on my project. It's the largest, most complex furniture type project I've completed so far and the support I recieved from the folks here helped...
Well done Aaron!
Hey Bob,
As it is pretty heavy (maybe 300 lbs) I just slide it across the floor into a position where the slots in the bench top line up the the slots on my table saw. I did route the dadoes a bit...
Very nicely done! I have two or three bookcases on my list of things to do!

Hey Bruce,
The overall length of the surface is about 73" not including the handles of the end vise and it turned out to be about 38-39" wide.
Drilling the dog holes was an adventure....
That's a really good question! There might be between seventy- five and a hundred hours in the project from rough lumber to nearly finished project, broken up over about six weekends and quite a few...
Lag screwed on. It had some curl, which only showed up as I was milling an otherwise spalted unremarkable piece of ash.
Thanks for looking....
Jim
Believe it or not the hardest part of putting this tool together was aligning the holes on the inside of the front and back jaw inside faces for the 3/8" stell pin the holds the work off the...
It's a columbian I've had for three or four years. It was on my last bench (doesn't seem like it was much of a bench now) ;^)
Jim
I lack a shelf between the lower rails because it's not essential and I haven't decided what to make it out of yet. And I lack a coat of wax on the newly oiled surfaces. I'll be waiting two or three...
Sure wish I lived near enough to one of these shows to actually go to one. I've heard great things. Maybe someday they'll put one in Dallas or Houston.
Jim
Jim,
I'm right with you. I've had a sears 3/8's corded for at least 23 years (19.95 as I recall) and I just replaced it yesterday with the PC 14.4 1/2" hammer/drill/driver. The difference is...
and looked at the Jet DC's. I found this on the page.

I have to drill two 1.5 inch diameter holes for my Veritas twin screw vise through both the front and back jaws at the same time, a total depth of about 4.25".
Trouble is my forstners aren't...
Dennis do you find the dc pipe on the floor bothersome, or did you put it in a location without much traffic?
Jim
<b><font color=red>You'll love making a bowsaw. There are so many nice styles and patterns out there. After you get your pattern set, make sure you build several. It is not a whole lot more work than...
