You convinced me, Glenn. I will use a cherry bottom. Thanks.
I am designing a solid wood cabinet and have a wood movement question. I know that there will be about 1/16" difference between cherry and poplar in a 20" side and bottom. Can I glue and screw/nail...
Rick, another newbie question - which is the correct way to put on a belt? Clockwise or counter-clockwise? I not sure from the arrow on the belt, which looks like it could be put on either way.

Hi Scott,
I bit the bullet and bought a pinless moisture meter this afternoon. I just measured the boards at approximately 10% so you're right on at your estimate. I know I should wait until reading...
Hi Lee,
I have 2 two-car garages - one is my shop, the other for cars and my shop has a insulated wooden floor and is always heated. I only have to move the wood from the unheated garage to my shop...
Thanks, Dan.

I 'm going to moving some walnut into my shop today and I'd like to know how long it should wait for it to equilibrate. Also, after the wood equilibrates and I roughcut the parts, how long should...

some chairs as well so the optional mortiser would...
Hi Randall,
Nice work! I have had to change how I do things in my shop since my stroke but I have been able to do most things I want to do although slower. So, I suspected it is possible to carve...
Hi All,
I have been a woodworker for 15 years and I have never tried carving and would like to try. However, I had a stroke almost 6 years ago and I have had to compensate for it. My right arm...

Hi Bill,
My epoxy seems to have penetrated deeply into the wood. I had not thickened the epoxy with filler because I thought the joint didn't need it. I was wondering if I should have thickened the...
