Shop Build...should be a fun journey...
Thread Starter: Jim Becker
I debated about starting this thread now or later, but decided on now because, well...I might forget something. :o As a little background, at our previous property, I was blessed with a reasonably sized, fully conditioned space for my shop in what was originally a three-and-a-half vehicle garage...

Thread Starter: Forrest Gon
My first bandsaw, a new rikon 10-3061, set it up according to the manual and various youtube tutorials such as Alex Snodgrass's method (align the blade, tension the blade, thrust bearings and side guides) Now the issue is: the saw just won't cut straight, it will pull the wood off the fence...

I think my zero turn mower is cursed!
Thread Starter: Brian Elfert
I bought a used 2019 Grasshopper diesel zero turn mower with 189 hours on it last summer. I had all kinds of problems with it initially including a starter that didn't always turn over. I realized after I bought it that the mower had been buried pretty deep in mud or something as the dashboard...

Thread Starter: Thomas McCurnin

I'll also be using it for grooving a post, usually about 1.5" x 1.5" is typical, again to accept a panel for frame and panel construction. It needs to go both directions,...

Solid Walnut bookshelf dados - is glue enough?
Thread Starter: Bill Brammer
Building 6 ft high, 28 in wide, 12 inch deep solid 3/4 inch walnut bookshelf , no adjustable shelves. I have dados for all shelves. The sides are a little bowed, requiring some pressure with clamps to pull them together with the dados. Not a ton, but some. I'm trying to decide if I need to add...

Ship-lap

I typically attach backs with either GRK trim head screws or cut nails, depending how I'm feeling and if I'm going for anything more traditional. I also

Only one mortise chisel?

I have two, a 1/4" and a 3/8". I'll usually focus on what size the tenon stock is and use the 1/2 rule. A 1/2 inch thick table apron gets a
