    We have a friend about 45 years old. She has never seen a Alfred Hitchcock movie in her life. She likes modern shoot um ups and super hero movies. It has to be in color. What would be the best movie to introduce Hitchcock to her. The Birds, Psycho, or what. Bill D

    Jointer Fences for Hand Planes

    Thread Starter: Eric Brown

    The first question when thinking about fences for jointer planes is: "Do you need one?". Well to be fair the answer could be definitely no, definitely yes, or maybe. Starting with the definitely no perspective, you can, with practice, use your fingers to shoot a board and then check it with a...

    A method of mortising

    Thread Starter: Mark Rainey

    Many have trepidation hand mortising and succumb to the bench top mortising machine. Not in Neaderland.

    I purchased my Grizzly G0658 back in 2009. At the time I was a novice wood turner and I did not give any thought to whether I needed reversing capability on a lathe. I have since added a JET 1642VS-2, which has reverse, to my lathe cell. Having found that reverse is a handy feature after using the Jet for a while I decide it would be nice to have it on the Grizzly. ...

    I recently ordered a few new gouges from Thompson Tools. Doug is a great guy to deal with and I will definitely order from him again. Since I’m on a tight budget and needed handles for my new tools, I decided to build my own. At first I was going to make some nice wood handles but then I thought aluminum would look nice. ...

    Did you clean each pocket carefully before installing the new inserts. Are the screws all in good shape.

    What is the latest tools/equipment that has become a staple in your shop?

    This is simply not what happens at all, once the fibers are cut, they're cut. There is no slicing vs opening them up
    You do not make wood waterproof
