    Dining room carver chairs - Take 2

    Thread Starter: Derek Cohen

    About a month ago I began a thread about designing and building two carver chairs to accompany the 6 bentwood chairs we have owned for the past 40 years. The chairs were purchased all those years ago along with a table, which is around 200 years old. We need a larger table, and time has come to...

    Router questions

    Thread Starter: chris hood

    My router on the recently purchased router table quit, it came on then off then on now it will not come on. I have it pulled apart trying to get all the sawdust out of the connections, it's embedded pretty bad, not sure if that is the cause but worth a try. I found another identical one on eBay for...

    Surveys

    Thread Starter: Jerry Bruette

    How is the Margin Of Error determined for a survey? I don't care who does the survey or what it's for I'm just curious how the margin is determined and who determines it.

    Economics of milling vs store bought hardwoods?

    Thread Starter: Nick Crivello

    I'm pondering the economics of a mill vs buying rough lumber at retail/wholesale. In the Bay Area, depending on where you shop hardwoods like Oak and walnut can run up to $15-18bf/ft, or more for the rift/quarter sawn stuff. If one is able to source your own logs, running your own mil and kiln...

    Which Woods Should I *Not* Burn In a Pizza Oven?

    Thread Starter: Pat Germain

    I just bought an outdoor Pizza oven. It's an Ooni which can burn wood, charcoal or propane. I plan to start with propane as get accustomed to the pizza oven. Eventually, I want to switch to wood at least occasionally. So, like everyone else on this forum, I always have a lot of cut offs in my...

    Osage Orange

    Osage Orange is a bizarre choice for a sound board. That a unique Guitar Body Cittern or Bouzouki. I wonder what it sounds like?

    Batteries for Festool drills

    Hi, I much prefer the CXS style handle to the more conventional “T” style drill.

    Batteries for Festool drills

    Thanks, Jim, that seems to be consistent feedback on the CXS model, closer to how we use a handsaw and it aligns your wrist perfectly with the fastener.

    Finishing black locust

    It is a very easy to maintain finish. It does not allow mold or microbes to grow in the situations I have used it for. The Turpentine and Pine Tar make

    I 100% agree with this comment. Hiring a Residential Electrician may not be the best option in this case. I have been in the electrical field my entire
