    Time for some levity

    Thread Starter: Dave Anderson NH

    With all of the negativity and political stuff going on with the Covid-19 virus it is time to look at the humorous side of things. Feel free to add more, but keep it clean or it will be deleted.

    My patience is tested by the 2-pics-at-a-time feature so this will be brief.

    Powermatic 2820 EVS drill press

    Thread Starter: Jordan Lane

    Any thoughts on this drill press would be appreciated. I'm in the market for a drill press and this one is appealing to me but appears to be brand new. Thanks

    Thread Starter: Allen Mattsen

    I'd like to ask the forum for help researching and deciding on a full-sized lathe. The best unit for me within my budget of $4500. I'm a fairly new turner, retired at 50yrs old, and have decided to invest in woodturning as my primary hobby moving forward. I love it! The reason I say "best unit...

    Finally we got permit for construction

    Thread Starter: Anuj Prateek

    In our home there is no space for workshop. Not even a car garage (there's a carport). Right after buying we started on extension work. We are converting the two carports into garage, extending the family room and right under the family room extension there will be workshop. It's going to be...

    Humidor on legs

    Thread Starter: Bill Carey

    Got the doors for the cabinets made and things were going great until I took the clamps off today and turned one of the doors over. I missed that it slipped during the clamping, so had to cut it out, trim the joints and make a new piece. Took most of the afternoon but in a way was kinda fun...

    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. ...

    About 5-6 months ago I wanted to turn a piece of Cholla, but there wasn't any solid wood to center on to. It took me about 30 minutes to come up with what I call a "Chuck Plate".

    The link below is my review of the 62" Excalibur Sliding Table I purchased in 1999. More than productivity the principal reason for purchasing a slider was safety.

    Deep Scratch on a Brand New Plane Sole

    It all comes down to how you feel about your new plane. Tom, I think that you are feeling really disappointed. So it is not really about whether the scratch
