I wouldn't presume to claim the "best" way, but my first thought was to score a 2nd pre-made benchtop and laminate them together. A huge vacuum bag...

Parts of the state get lots of snow. Other parts less. Was that first photo on Hwy 88 just before Kirkwood? I was through there once when the...

I did look at that one's specs. It's spec'd at 60dB, the same as mine and a couple other CAT's and one of the Rolairs. There's a couple of smaller...

They do. I got upset with my pancake compressors noise, (I suspect many labels on this basic machine,) even though it did everything I use it for. ...

Are you aware of Peter Follansbee's work? When I hear carved chest it's all that pops into my head. He has a book, published by LAP, called...

Thanks! I didn't have any idea where to start looking (and was too lazy to search the whole Internet. :) ) Also, OP, I'd say other of her videos...

Also, everything I've seen by Mary May was outstanding. If you can find it, the episode of the Woodwright's Shop where she teaches Roy Underhill to...

I feel like we just had this thread. For sharpening, carvers seem to strop more than other woodworkers. Your stones will work for more...

Everything Prashun said, but I do use it (when I use the router. Which is as little as possible.) It's mostly the hose that is annoying, the other...

I need to find me some hippies. The large Jojoba Oil bottle from L-N is about 1/2, per oz, the best price I've found around here. (It's always in...

Another user? Check the user name, seems like this might be more than a rumor! ;) ETA: I was thinking Winston was linking to this thread:...

Thanks Lee! (Now if only I really understood what that meant to me in practice. I do understand proprietary and that's a minus though.)

Yes. There is a long list of specifications, not just related to what the filter will pass, but mask fit, exhale resistance, flow rate, and more. ...

I'd hope better than homemade filters would be available, say at least N95 equivalent. I would love something that was more comfortable, more...

Their website says no valves, so those must be filters or something. Still with it in crowd funding state, or maybe just after, I'm not sure I'm...

I should have said something about sharpening. Even the most expensive tools will be disappointment if you can't get them sharp enough for your...

I'm far from an expert, but I muddle through the bits of carving I need to get done. I have a motley collection of what was on sale, less training &...

Only helps with brand new boxes! (DAMHIKT! :) ) On the other hand, our local HD has boxes of driver bits right with the screws. Having...

Happy New Year! Of those I'd choose the Hock O1 or the Veritas PMV-11, but honestly (most of) this advice has all been North America specific....

This thread has been inactive for over three years. Patrick Chase, whom you quote, hasn't visited for over two years...

Something like that has been discussed many times, at least, over the last few years. Derek Cohen was the first to write about it that I noticed. ...

Derek Cohen will probably swing by, but even if he doesn't check in on this thread, check out his project builds here and on his website and look for...

Wow, just wow. Outstanding Mike.

Megan Fitzpatrick is working on a book for Lost Art Press about the DTC. It will be more comprehensive, cover more variations, and include lessons...

I'll assume Shapton Glass stones because the Shapton Pros come in a box which doubles as a stone holder. (Or, I'm told holds a couple glass stones.)...

You're most welcome! I'm glad my random memory led someone to a solution. Also, thank you for the link to Sterling Tool Works. I didn't know they...

Aaron are you familiar with small strap wrenches for tightening & loosening those small knobs? They were a big deal, with commercial products and...

First, try searching I swear we just had this conversation. (Given my memory "just" could be in the last 10 years though.) A different carrier is...

Some more ideas to consider, (the alternatives may fit someone's space or preference better.) Christopher Schwarz uses and recommends an Ikea Boot...

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess no one still using a flip phone knows what VI is. (On the outside chance anyone is curious, it was a big...
