    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

    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...

    Good that you have the skills to adapt and conquer. Sounds like either way it will be well done. I've saw photos of your work before and you are a skilled

    Batteries for Festool drills

    Might look at the csx-18 in the future. Right now I use Milwaukee M12 for furniture and more regularly the installation driver. I find the M12 drill and

    Obviously, if polling companies did that kind of work they would no longer be in business.

    Batteries for Festool drills

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

    You are overheating the burner. That's a bad thing, and can result in melting your gas hoses and wrecking the controls. There's probably some sort
