    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.

    Pocket Knife recommendations?

    Thread Starter: Bob Riefer

    Hi all, I hope to lurk more in this section of the forum as I learn more about hand tools (just starting that journey). In the meantime, I do have a question I thought you might have a take on... My 75 year old father is impossible to buy gifts for, the proverbial "guy that has it all", so...

    Spindle moulder setting up for curved work

    Thread Starter: Paul Ricard

    Hi guys, I have Felder F900Z spindle moulder along with the Felder Curve Moulding Guard. My current project is to make curved windows and a big 4 sash balcony door. The shape of the frame, which is 2.7meters wide, is shown in .pdf attachment below. My question is: What is the best way to setup...

    What’s your favorite hand plane?

    Thread Starter: Jason White

    My current favorite is my No. 6 Veritas fore plane. I ground an 8” radius camber on it so I can flatten the face of a board before running it through my thickness planer. I don’t have a powered jointer anymore because I lost part of a finger on it (completely my fault) and it took up too much space...

    Trouble cutting a straight (plumb) line

    Thread Starter: Ray Bahr

    Been practicing my handsaw use for some dovetail work, and I can't for the life of me get a plumb straight cut. I am using a Japanese pull saw, watched a ton of videos, but my saw always veers to the right of the line for the rear of the work. Been changing the height of the work, my body...

    Grit Automation Automatic Blast Gates - Automating my Dust Collection

    Thread Starter: Alan Lightstone

    I'm not a posting a review kind of guy, but this system and especially their level of tech support deserves this. And right off the bat, I have no association with Grit Automation, and paid full price for this system. So, after reading a short thread elsewhere about automatic blast gates, and...

    From the first time I saw pictures of Stuart Mortimers signature twist work, I knew I wanted to try one myself, but I feared it was too difficult and time consuming. Stuarts book, Techniques of Spiral Work- A Practical Guide to the Craft of Making Twists by Hand, and an article in the May 2006 issue of Woodturning were the sources of inspiration and also great learning tools. It was when Mark Hubl showed his first spiral piece that I finally decided I would give it a try.There are many ways this work can be done, but here is the way I make twisted finials. As with any woodturning project, if something doesn't feel right to you, don't do it!!

    Do you have woodworking knowledge you're just dying to share?
    Want to be an author at Sawmill Creek?

    Now you have a new area to publish articles!

    If you want to publish an article, you can join our authors group, which gives you access to a forum which is open only to would-be authors at SawmillCreek. This is a staging area for new articles, where you can post a new article, and we'll review for publication. Once you're ready to publish it, we'll promote it on the front page of SawmillCreek!


    The process is simple:

    1. Join the Authors group by visiting this page.
    2. Once you have access, visit the Authors forum.
    3. Start your article by creating a new thread in that forum.


    TIPS

    If your article is too long for a single post, don't fret ! Spread your article over multiple posts, and we'll merge them together into a single post when the article is ready to be published.

    Try posting pictures inline for visual interest.

    Choose a catchy, yet descriptive title!

    Writer's Block?

    We're looking for tool reviews, woodworking tips, woodturning techniques, jigs and fixtures, finished projects step-by-step, finishing techniques, social woodworking experiences, and even good compilations of our existing thread topics.

    Good luck and Happy writing!
