The earlier post about size and displacement being important to consider reminds me of the first strip canoe I built in 2014, a Wee Lassie II from...

I often used to plane small pieces in my lunchbox planer. I found that it worked better for me to put a planed board on the bottom and let the...

The braces look great, good for you. I don't scallop mine, and the guitars have sounded good to me, but what do I know. I use Titebond 1 to glue...

It looks great good for you. I would think about plugging or capping the ends of those conduit pieces with something. I can't tell what height they...

I used a DeWalt 733 for several years to plane wood down as thin as 3/32 or so after it was resawed to rough thickness. I found that a piece with...

I just bought a 19-38 last month and I am very pleased with it. I use it a lot for segmented turning type work, sanding rings of 18 blocks of wood. ...

I like Whiteside router bits best of the ones I have tried, they're not too expensive on eBay or such places and they seem to be of good quality....

There's a 4x6 post that helps to hold up the building near to my bandsaw, so I have a nail in it to hang the fence and a nail to hang the miter...

I've got an older 1 HP Reliant dust collector in the shop, it just has one hose and I hook it to whichever tool needs it. It is quite adequate for...

Thank you all, I have an old 14" Rockwell that predated the Jet, I could bring that back in and use it if I make room. My idea was to have a...

Thank you all for your help. I got the drum sander yesterday and am very pleased with it. I'll make room to keep it in the heated shop, I'm just...

I have built three acoustic guitars so far following the Kinkead book. The only change I made was to make the body a uniform depth along the full...

I used to use a 14" Rockwell and now have an 18" Jet. I always use 1/2" 3 TPI blades for resawing, and for almost everything else. I have resawn...
