"There's nothing wrong with charging what the market will bear"
Spoken like someone that has never lived in a region the globe where being ripped off is the norm...
"But your paraphrase of some...
depends on you. If you have a right arm like a hermit crap you could probably push the full width of the blade. But if you're an 8 hour a day office chair jockey then you'd probably max out at...
Here's a view of the bottom of a ~$110000 Chippendale style oxbow front slant top desk
Your options are proportional to what you are willing to pay. Grizzly is a second tier chinese product and that's why it's the price it is. Try looking for used North American made lathes and...
Pretty much any wood can be turned, especially with todays HSS tools, so the question I'd be asking is what's the wood look like and how far do the cracks extend into the wood. Is it spectacularly...
No problem until you hit them with a blade of some kind. Hardened steel bolts and tools don't mix well. If you're too frugal to go and buy some brass or aluminum then use some hardwood.
You think Amazon Canada has absurd pricing... Have a look at Amazon australia if you want to see gouging at it's finest. They're not that smart here to use algorithms, they simply brute force...
Yup, but you need to add an oil based product (I.e.e wax) to the hot iron, and then it goes black. The wax/oil needs to be cooked into the iron so the metal needs to be fairly hot. Well past the...
Yes I get it now. You were implying that Thomas Sr. maintained an influence in the business after he retired in 1776 and Thomas Jr. took over... And thus the 4 years was suppose to be meaningful...
without knowing what thin is, so I'll assume <1/4". If I were to use auger bits I'd clamp the piece between two sacrificial pieces and drill through all three. If clamped well the middle piece...
Wow! Could you play it down or negatively exaggerate any more? Lol. "Continued to struggle for A FEW MORE YEARS" (when a few universally implies roughly 3...) Honestly lol. I thought that was a...
300 year old furniture will always need repairs. Glue doesn't hold up, finishes break down, sun damage, dry rot, wood borers, 300 years of seasons, sitting on stone or tile floors for decades or...
I've been in this game for 35 years and have always said show me a successful furniture maker and I'll show you a well paid supportive spouse. One of the most satisfying jobs you can do that is also...
I don't think they made "crappier" furniture at all. If they had, the furniture wouldn't have lasted as long as it has. By comparison a 300 year old plane is quite primitive compared to what LV...
I happened upon an invoice from the late 1700s once that gave a break down on the times estimates for a variety of furniture being ordered. It's been a couple decades since I saw that document but...
Go with a VFD. I have my bandsaw on a VFD and used to have a planer on one also. Dialling the planer down to about half normal speed made it almost dead quiet but didn't impact on quality of...
Unless I was going to redo the whole deck and floor right I wouldn't do any "slight" changes to how it was built. Just incase there were liabilities incurred down the road. An engineer is an option...
What you have there can be redone exactly as it is now, no question. It would be technically easy but be very time consuming and a hell of a wrestling match... And I'm sure you are aware you'll...
Australia has truck loads of desert - if that's what you mean by space. They don't have cheap equipment - that's for sure, Not is, unless you are talking about all the second grade chinese stuff...
I don't think they will catch on as quick in NA as prices for equipment and space is a lot cheaper and larger than in Europe and australia. I thank my parents for moving from the UK to Canada as I...
If you are worried make sure you have a first aid kit with a roll of gauze to help facilitate the clotting mechanism in the blood.
On a side note... You can tell how sharp a blade is by how long...
The concept of under-mount sinks is a great one except for the way in which they are stuck to the top. Silicone, no exceptions, will break down and come unstuck from the sink and or the counter top...
I guess you'll have to do an infused and non-infused handle and report back. My hunch is an infused handle will pop out more easily. Wood has a natural tendency to compress and spring back to a...
Ya sharp is the key. A sharp chisel will cut the wood fibres as opposed to bending and crushing them. And, if you don't have mortice chisels that's no problem; just don't try driving a regular...
