    How to bend wood like this - Outdoor furniture project

    Thread Starter: Alan Lightstone

    Looking for a new project to do. I've been spending a few months upgrading the workshop / fixing minor annoyances, and really need to actually build something. I ran across this in a magazine ad. The furniture is supposedly solid teak, though I don't think that will be in the cards for...

    Bad job coming

    Thread Starter: Tom M King

    I have these two raised panel garage doors to refinish on a lake rental house.

    Dumb answers to dumb questions

    Thread Starter: Zachary Hoyt

    I used to feel frustrated when I would have listed something for sale on Craigslist or Facebook and included the town where I lived, and instead of looking it up on their devices people would write to me to ask "where is Orwell" (where I used to live) or now "where is Piercefield?".

    Harvey Slider on Unisaw?

    Thread Starter: John Kananis

    All these slider threads got me thinking. Does anyone here have the Harvey compass st-1500 attached to their unisaw? Can you speak on the quality, ease of attachment, capabilities and shortcomings? Thank you in advance!
