I was introduced to the Robo Sander at the mandolin factory. The Robo Sander can do things that a router can not, slowly and at the expense of lots...

I will add that to my list. Thanks.

Could you tell me how the bottom is attached? thanks

Landfill If it's junk, why would I want to have a special drawer to keep it in? Of course, everyone has there definition of what junk is.

I looked up what I thought was the proper name, I got the same results as you. Google "watch glass" and or "beaker cover" They come in many sizes...

I never had that happen but it could be the paper. I use https://www.maverickabrasives.com/ and buy the roll, cut my own.

I'm sure this could be another thread but I don't, won't ever, have a junk drawer. This goes for the kitchen as well as the shop.

I sure want to go see the Redwoods, the Mountains, the West, and every thing along the way. I visited Portland OR once. The Home Depo there is just...

My pocket screw rig is a 3/8 spade bit. I have not seen my contour thing-a-ma-jiggy in years.

I have and use all of these tools as well. My aviation snips rank right up there with my hunting equipment. Go ahead and try to pry them from my cold...

Neat-O Jim! Thanks. PBS is getting tired of me re-watching all of the old Antiques Road Show episodes featuring Mr. Nakashima's work (which is as...

That will be a fun project. Looking forward to following along!

Still getting the E-Mails Attention Banjo Craftsmen! We're Hiring!

Thanks Jim, these bting back memories of being there many times.

Apologies to the OP but it sounds like someone with very little patience or tool proficiency. All of what you said CAN be true but many of us have...

These companies and others like them might be a source. The minimum order is generally large. Logs - Baillie Lumber - Hardwood Supplier ...

It is interesting to observe the price variation from location to location when you are on the road. My last cheeseburger was in Cloverdale Indiana....

Our attraction to McDonald's these days is quick and easy access from the highway to the bathroom. It is nice that many locations kept the bathrooms...

50 percent is a good number particularly for a small project. The wood will be ungraded if it comes from a small mill. Your location is going to make...

I admire Herbie Hancock. Hip hop in general is not a favorite.

Thank you Warren, I need to look those trees over closely with that bark description in mind and again when the leaves are on.

:confused: The original point of the secondary bevel was to leave more material behind the cutting edge on plane irons, (bevel down) thus...

I became very fond of McDonald's as a youngster. There was one in the basement of the university bookstore on the MU campus. It was very close to our...

Thats cool! edited to remove content that did not sound as I intended. I am trying to write a sentence abbot the journey a plane will take you...

I keep thinking about the movie Falling Down as I read this thread.

Varathane will be fine. MinWax is also a trusted polyurethane. It is less expensive. I prefer it.

Derek, I'm sure you've seen this one but for those who haven't. IMO a very nice interpretation with a mechanical joint holding the bottom on. ...

First, thanks for all the ideas. I've been looking at this one, since I like the cutting setup of the inserts....

The references to plane irons were included because they can be sharpened in a similar manner. I always think of the "face" of a chisel or plane iron...
