    Dust Collection – Burn down the house or get lung cancer, which should I choose?

    Thread Starter: Maureen Ragan

    I wish I’d read Bill Pentz’s site BEFORE I bought my Grizzly 0861 2HP cyclone dust collector, but now I must do the best I can with what I have. According to Bill Pentz, either: a) I use 7” duct thereby getting my 1000 cfm and fine dust removal, but worry about dust piles in the...

    Do Veterans like being "thanked for their service"?

    Thread Starter: Edwin Santos

    "Thank you for your service" has become more popular and common than I ever remember in the past. Even among television newscasters, show hosts and Hollywood types. The subject over whether veterans like the gesture or not came up over some happy hour talk. I have a group of veteran friends,...

    Thoughts about glue-ups and clamps

    Thread Starter: Frederick Skelly

    A few weeks ago, I posted about how impressed I was with some new parallel clamps I finally tried. Since then, I've used them more and I'd like to compare notes with all of you on some of my observations about glue ups in general. 1. First, let me just eat some crow and say that our Pro's were,...

    I'm about ready to retire my Unisaw and move up to a slider. I welcome your advise. Here are my requirements/constraints/questions: - I'm located in the Denver area. - Thinking about SCM and Felder. I suppose these are the default choices. What else should I look at? - I frequently work...

    Shapton 30K, talk me out of it

    Thread Starter: David Sloan

    After much deliberation, I bought a Shapton 16K glass stone a year ago and love it. Have used it for plane blades, chisels and knives. Today I sharpened 15 knives for our next door neighbor. Such fun! Got me wondering again about the super expensive 30K stone! Will it take me to the next level?...

    Imported firewood?

    Thread Starter: Perry Hilbert Jr

    I am in central Pennsylvania, where firewood really does grow on trees in Penn's Woods. Outside our supermarket yesterday, I noticed a pile of bundles of firewood for sale. For $5.99 there is a bundle of USA grown firewood. For $2 more though, one can obtain Estonian White Birch firewood. I am...

    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".
