I'm not great at it but I could make it in Fusion 360. It just took a few you tube instructional videos. I've never used Sketch Up but with Fusion...

Unfortunately, epoxy is a chemical bond and to make things more difficult, the blue background isn't a solid color. I would consider approaching a...

i have a relatively new SCM L'Invincible planer, with a big stainless steel top. when i got it, i felt the same way - better cover this to keep it...

Wow, unfortunate. Everything that was contributed is appreciated. Thank you, David.

Agree with Richard. If you have to normally buy lengths and saw them down for whatever you're doing to that length, then you hit a good deal for you...

I’ve only done ship lap once (actually spline & groove) and probably didn’t do it right. I screwed each piece into a rabbit. We don’t have many...

Like you I do better with a 2d dwg than a 3d model, but the world is changing. For the long term I would look at SolidWorks or an Autodesk product,...

With at least American Rotary it's possible to add HP to the RPC by adding another idler. At least that's what they told me.

Diann completed the glass work and I completed the wood work on the garden lamps. They now need a coat of oil and installation, each has two 2W...

Agreed, in fact many saws have locating dowels for the table so alignment is built in. The blade will cut parallel to the fence and the mitre slot...

RIP David. Thanks for everything.

+1 on HDPE or UHMW plastic. Love the revolving planer platform ;-)

I agree sad news. I liked having David’s input once and a while. Travel well David

Great. Thanks for circling back.

I would screw/glue trim boards on all four sides that hang down below flush 1/2" or more. Similar to a picture frame or serving tray face down.This...

One second deceleration sounds risky to me. The arbor nut might unscrew at that torque load. Bill D

Our depression era house has no closets. I made a bit of a cloths hanging spot with two big nails.

HDPE - perfect! Menards has carried black for a couple years. Searched and discovered they now also had white 4x8 x.25" thick in stock for about $90....

:D When doing any kind of plumbing the first thing I do is get a full tank of gas

It's a good price if you can use a lot of 13" long boards. As wood gets around a foot long here, they get really close to the scrap bin.

24 hours minimum has been my experience. A bit of gum turps or Japan drier or both speeds things up but they are not as user friendly as straight...

I think that sums it up nicely

For those who still don't understand that, new or used, sharp or dull: a) wide blades are for cutting straight and b) narrow blades are for...

Brilliant! Beautiful planer Jeff. Jealous!

Someone told me that even without a service provider they are good for calling 911. Not wanting to try this without an actual emergency it hasn't...

Just for fun: Here is a video of how they handle the problem in the shipyard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9YeKT_jTI8. The Planer is mounted on...

Sad to hear someone who has given so much to the community has left this world. jtk
