    What planes do you regret buying?

    Thread Starter: Matt Lau

    With the Lee Valley Cyber Monday sale coming, I can feel my willpower weakening. I'm leery of buying stuff that I don't need. What tools have you regretted buying? Please talk me out of buying more planes.

    table saw rumbling

    Thread Starter: Bob Riefer

    Hello, It's been awhile since I've posted, but I often read and learn here and am thankful for all the thoughtful contributions. I had read some archives around similar situations to what I'm facing, but thought a fresh thread wouldn't hurt too much. I have an older Grizzly 1023 3hp cabinet...

    Making my first Windsor Chairs

    Thread Starter: Prashun Patel

    I've been thoroughly enjoying this project, so I thought I'd share... I'm a big fan of Curtis Buchanan's work. His videos have a humble, 'golly-gee' quality that is endearing. His latest offering, the Democratic Chair is really on a different plane though. I have never seen such an...

    Handplane vs Lunchbox

    Thread Starter: Tom Bender

    A hand plane makes a better surface than a planer because it makes one long straight cut vs many short curved cuts. But a planer impacts the wood. Does blade speed also make a difference? This may sound like a power tool question but I've brought it to the Neandercult because here we think a...

    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".

      cut down kinked panel saw?

      Jim Koepke and others, thanks for all the info. Took a long hard look at the saw, decided to fix rather than cut. Going to look for an anvil. Will try

      Haven't shaved for 30+ years, not going to start now. I still remember the pain.

      Considering a router lift

      I thought the speed knob was set in the narrowest part of the router.

      Considering a router lift

      Brian,

      I guess we can compensate for speed control with feed rate to some extent, as long as we avoid burning (with large diameter bits).

      Icosahedron turned to sphere, just for fun

      Paul asked about the bevel angle(s) for building the Pentakis Dodecahedron.

      Good question! Don't know. I expect there's some formula to calculate
