At my lake house I have an outbuilding of sorts (we call it the cabana) where one side is completely open with a great view of the water front. I want to screen in this side of the building to keep...

I am considering a diode laser purchase, most likely the Ortur LM3 with honeycombed and air assist. My primary purpose 75-80% usage will be for cutting veneer marquetry. I will also buy a license...

Hi Pat

Sure Im happy to share the details of my ring sanding platform. I built it due to always being frustrated with the vibration and extreme speed of my disc sander for sanding the end of half...

OK so first off thank you all for your suggestions and help. I am happy to report that I have had a successful glue up now and I thought to post my outcoming in case it helps someone else in the...

Ok so you know the old saying for the definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results) well I can say I now feel INSANE. I took a second attempt at this...

Thanks Jim for the fast response - I am using a home made wedgie sled with segeasy wedgies. I counted over and over again the segments as it seemed like maybe I was one short by the way it was...

I am determined to crack this code called Segmented turning - so far it is winning but I will stay at it !!!! Today I glued up a 48 seg ring (mixed species as discussed above). Due to the small...

Hi All

Im new to segmented turning and have what may be considered a super basic question (I learned long time ago not to consider my questions as "dumb" so I use the word basic instead), I am...

Hi All

I have been tooling up to try my hand at making a few segmented bowls, already made a wedgie sled with stop, bought some wedgies, and installed and designed few bowls using the segment pro...

I bought the systainer set originally (using the amazon.de site and the cost was $185 +shipping) and now just replenish as needed with the off brand precut tenon stock from Amazon - the name of the...

I have been on this woodworking journey now for the past 23 years, started out "lusting" over the tools presented every Saturday morning on New Yankee workshop and dreaming along with my father of...

Maybe I am wrong but when I read the advertisement from Woodpeckers today about their new router base I do not get the feeling this is a onetime tool... Im not sure that helps you much but it may buy...

Thanks to all who took time to respond - I am starting to wonder now (my memory is not so clear from +6months back) but I am thinking I could have had some runs of the HP and I am thinking maybe I...

I have had great results as well as great service from spectrum supply. The shipping cost at order entry is usually higher than the actual charge. The 3/4” kerfmaster blade is really a nice blade...

Hi All

Last year I finally completed one of my bucket list projects - a craftsman style grand father clock. It took me nearly 8 months of slow but methodical building to complete the project I...

I recently bought a festool of1010 primarily for use with my Leigh. I did need to to order a brushing mounting plate from Leigh for this router that was $40ish but in the end I was super happy with...

Please add me in.....

I had to really LEARN to love my Supermax 1938 - one of the key learnings for me, even if I already knew it, is that a drum sander is not a planer. What that means is that you need to make at...

Hey Rick

I think if you look close this was a limited time offer release by Festool USA and the preorder period has ended last week if im not wrong. Anyone who pre-ordered will receive their...

Hi All
Just looking for some basic advice on water stone prep before using for the first time. I bought my first water stone for honing the blades on my new LN planes - I settled on a King KDS...

So I have finally broke down and purchased two new planes I have been wanting for some time, both from Lie Nielsen:

Low Angle Jack
Rabbeting block

For Christmas my MIL got me a LV shoulder...

One simple and inexpense suggestion not requiring any modifications to existing clamps or purchasing new clamps( even if I think the yost clamps I wrote about are awesome) is to get a pair of the...

You may want to look into "YOST" HD parallel clamps, they have a hinged handle that allows you to easily apply a good amount of torque. This is a very uniquely engineered solution to answer to your...

Hi Derek

Thanks for the detailed answer - many things to consider with what you wrote. As I am by no means an expert on this, evidence by my basic question, so please dont take my remarks as a...

So for Christmas I received a long wanted Veritas shoulder plane - Amazing quality tool btw. I have been working on a roubo bench build and will very soon get to a step in the project were I need to...
