    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.

    Tell us a CLEAN joke!

    Thread Starter: Malcolm Schweizer

    The “time for some levity” thread just makes my day. I have a buddy that posts a joke a day, which I also love, and I thought maybe you would all want to share some of your favorite jokes. Here is one to start:

    AWB workbench - a few options

    Thread Starter: Bob Riefer

    I have now read Chris S.'s Anarchist Workbench book (great read!!) and am ready to embark on the build. Overall, I plan to pretty much replicate what he suggests as his rationale throughout made sense to me based on how I've used my maple butcher block topped existing bench. But there are a...

    Thread Starter: Thomas Crawford

    Ordered in May and got it yesterday. No big deal for me to wait since this is a lifetime purchase. My shop is in my backyard behind my fence. I have a 55" gate that I thought would be ok, but alas the pallet jack came in on the long edge (72"). So its now sitting in my garage. My...

    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.

    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".

    Which double sided tape?

    I also use X tape and like it b/c it is easy to remove and doesn't leave a residue. I've heard about Spec tape but never tried it.

    Looking for alternative options for 3/4" spiral upcutting router bit - dog holes

    Curious if you have done any plunge drilling with a router. It's very easy to get something that I call a speed rattle. I get some kind of a resonance

    Cost considerations aside have you considered the Oneida Supercell? It would appear to fall into the category of not being overly tall. Reviews are decent
