Just wanted to give a epilogue to this situation for posterity sake.

I did fail to mention (in my effort to keep it simple) that it required a gear removal tool to get the flyhwheel off. I've been trying, as best I can to determine if there is something behind the...
Richard,
I did not replace anything. The initial problem was that the foot break was jammed in the down (i.e. braked/stopped position) and would not return/release. I simply removed the wheel,...
Does anyone know of any bandsaw repair services/TECH that serve the Tampa Bay/Central Florida area?
I live in Citrus County and am in need of getting some repair work done on my (2003) MiniMax...
Thanks Bruce!!!!
Does anyone know where I can buy parts for a 2003 Mini Max 20" Bandsaw? After several moves, the DC connection adaptor needs to be replaced.
I've tried reaching out to SCM, but am only getting...
John,
Beautiful design, and the execution looks excellent as well. I'd be interested in hearing more about the milling and particularly drying process you used with the logs. I've just started...
Rob,
If he has a dryer he has a 220 ckt; I ran my first jointer with an extension cord I made that ran from my dryer outlet. You'd have to make up the extension cord; so I guess it depends on how...
A second vote for the sagulator. It's never steered me wrong.

Mark,
Thanks for the reply and great advice, I'm definetely going to use the hand tool solution as a back up. But since I foresee myself installing many of these hinges in the future, I definelty...
I'm working with Brusso hinges for the first time. I've also purchased the installation template to ease the installation. The template requires a guide bushing and the instructions recommend using...
Ted,
That's actually one of the nicest things I've been called! :eek:
To the others, I've never used a ROS sander on raised panel end grain. Is there an after market soft pad your employing...
I tend to ask more then I answer, so I wanted to let everyone know I appreciate you sharing your experience with me--I promise to be better next year! So to everyone at the Creek, Merry Christmas (or...
Just wondering what techniques/tools everyone uses. I usually just hand sand going one grade higher (i.e.: bulk of panel to 150 or 180 & end grain at 220) then the rest of panel to even out the...
Thanks to all for sharing your experience. I suspected this is what I would hear, but I posed the question because a tool dealer mentioned it as a possiblilty.

Has anyone had any experience with paraffin wax, transfered to a board via the sole of a plane, effecting the finish of a project?
Stu
Thanks for the info Steve & Dave. Wasn't able to pull much on Google or dogpile. The only references I'm seeing is in the boat building industry. May try and turn some and see what happens....

I just fell into some free Angelique (SP?) (Pronounced Ann-cha-leek) wood scraps. I can't seem to find anything about it. The guy I'm getting it from said it has a high silicone content, it's...
Thanks for the link Tony, lots of good info/advice there. Also thanks to Jim, I think you sold me on the 22-44! Are you related to Uncle Bob? :eek:
and thanks to everyone else for sharing their...
Trying to decide between the Delta 18-36 and the Performax 16-32. Not really a size issue (ie 32 vs 36) or price question. But rather a quality of machine performance and company support.
Stu
Hank,
I'm too lazy to read all the other replies, so if this has been said I apologize. Don't let your jointer limitations cloud your planer selection. With a 13" planer you can mill 13" boards,...
As Bob suggested, they went away with finishing....
Thanks for all the feedback guys...and gals! An update, after one coat of Waterlox Original Marine Sealer I can't see the white specks. I'll post another picture once I'm done finishing.

Bought some FSC certified mahogany today, and was milling a piece to do a sample finish board. It has these white specks throughout the board. Any ideas what this is, is it normal (i've never seen...
Gotta say Uncle Bob took good care of me too!
