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.

Thread Starter: Matt Lau

Cheap Bandsaw for Resawing
Thread Starter: Jimmy Harris
I'm a hobbyist on a limited budget looking for a bandsaw, primarily for resawing. Let's say, 12" of 8/4 hard maple cut down the middle would be the maximum I would ever ask of it. I'm under the impression that I'll need a steel framed bandsaw for that. What else do I need to know? Are guides...

Hoffman and Hammer workbenches.....anyone have one???
Thread Starter: Travis Chapin
I'm looking for a nice workbench to get me back into woodworking. I do not have any power tools at this time other than a few handheld tools. I'm not sure making a nice bench is an option. Mostly I just want a place to plane and build stuff by hand to work on my skills until I can afford a full...

Thread Starter: Brian Elfert
They are going crazy building standalone car washes in my area. I know of at least three currently under construction nearby, and a few others that recently opened. Car washes are going up all over the Minneapolis metro area. There will easily be three times as many standalone car washes once...

Two seater at two different heights for the wide range of grades and child sizes. There are trenches out the back for clean out, these were never moved.

Shaker Window Sash Profile

Looks like I am wrong. Appears to have a bevel on the inside based on windows in this restoration, but very hard to see. Very slim rails and stiles! https://www.shakers.org/schoolhouse-...haker-village/

Shaker Window Sash Profile

I'm sorry, I don't recall. This is a nice drawing of old window construction, but not shaker. https://thecraftsmanblog.com/all-abo...toric-windows/

Good source if you want to try Japanese planes

Hmm, maybe you're right. Some photos make the mouth look fairly normal size. Others, it looks rather large. It's difficult to tell whether the iron is

Lacquer over BIN primer?

A guy I know is having trouble finishing chairs with white nitrocellulose lacquer.
He said when it's dry it rubs of easily. He's had to strip the
