I put a 600 grit cbn on my tormek and absolutely love it - I do however use the platform for free hand sharpening of turning tools alittle bit more...

Good call, especially thinking ahead to working space. Stuff works differently once all is setup and I guarantee you'll move more than a few things...

Looks great! Sad to hear that the school is closing though. I'm a huge fan, met him at LN a bunch of years back and felt like he was a good person to...

Superlative work - really enjoyed watching along!

Ron, I honestly can't think of a better word than "pretty". Really, they look fantastic (especially the brownish). I hope you post about the...

If you're building it, go bigger, as big as you possibly can. I have a 25x30 and an additional room that's 15x22 and I'm still buried once a job...

Wire brush like a madman and maybe run a hand plane over first. A #4 can be sharpened much faster than a planer blade.

Another vote for aligning both the blade and fence to the miter slot. Choosing a single reference point reduces the margin of error.

I have the woodcraft model and omg is amazing. I bought it a while back (before the pricing insanity started) and feel its the best 150 bucks I've...

Idk what you guys are putting through your 0858's that's bogging the machine down. Mine eats anything I throw at it and no complaints at all on...

Why not a dado? For such a small piece as a bridle joint, it should work fine. You can also use a spacer (same size as the tenon) between the two...

I don't like melamine outside of utility purposes. How about lining the shelves with a colored laminate and edging the shelves with wood to match...

Thanks, Glenn. I'm rethinking layout so may not need that high off the ground. But I'd still like to get it mobile. You add 1 little tool to the shop...

You can clamp the dowels with regular clamps just using a square corner of a piece of stock and clamping to two sides. That said, I agree with Jim...

This is partly why lots of great ideas never become mass market trends. Often, the person with the idea either can't execute, market, manufacture,...

How old is the saw? Put a dial indicator on the blade and see if there's any runout. Arbor bearings maybe starting to show a little wear?

I would just apply another coat of do, wipe off, dry. Hit it with a little sanding sealer and top coat with the poly. Edit: just make sure your...

Since you checked parallel, try the same thing with another blade. Same results?

Well, this certainly makes life easy... thank you. I think I'll do similar with the back left corner.

Really cool... and creative, especially the parts sourcing.

I have that chuck and my only criticism is that I need to crank down on it sometimes (i get some slippage here and there if I don't). Size of the bit...

Hey that looks great, nice job and thanks for sharing!

Would it be possible to ask for a pic? Not sure I understand - thank you. Very clever and creative but I'm not looking for a homebrew...

Thanks a bunch for the reply.

Steve, which router table do you have and how did you mount it. If not cast iron, is there any deflection in the top? Thanks.

Pretty sure there are more than just a few of us interested. I really enjoy seeing not only the completed works but also the progress. Thanks again...

Thomas, I'd be happy to let you know once it's up and running. I purchased it with the intent of using it on my ts but I never got around to...

I prefer to wire anything I can to 220v over 110v. There's less current draw for one. Especially something like a DC since it draws a bunch when you...
