I was given a big ole maple butcher-block. I don't know what it weighs but I'm guessing well over 400 pounds. Lives where risked getting on the first leg of it journey to my shop. I'm thinking...
Storm took down a big maple last night. The main trunk is 20+ feet long and the butt end is close to 30" its hang 6' up hanging on its branches and stump and just screams bear trap. Im going to...
Don't tell the women folk, but shop sinks count as multi functional apparatus.
I've used ducks that where coated with Plasti-dip. They would probably need a little extra attention to get the bottom flat as you dont want them rocking at all when holding a batten.
That's something I'll have to think on, as I realy want to use PVC for the out side face.
I might need to see that on a chalk board....
"Eventually" I will be makeing a storm door of sorts out side of my ~16" north faceing roll up garage door. I think the upper 3' will be mostly plexiglass but the bottom will be be a foam laminate...
Will an extra 11 gallons of air reservoir make a difference in the constant running? I'm thinking of doing small volume projects like bow limbs and small boat composite parts.
Quick question. I am looking at getting a Rolair JC10 compressor and was wondering if it would be suitable for for vacuum bagging smaller projects? There looked to be a Joe Woodworker venturi kit...
I've got one taken apart in the garage. It was a $100+ $50 for transport cost, and probably 12 hours of work from the time it hit craigslist till it was stashed away. It was a lot of fun to move...
I'm pretty sure you can figure out how to get it done in under an hour with your hand plane. If you just starting out you may need to figure out how to sharpen the plane to get it really working.

I'm going to throw out a suggestion for a 5 1/4 junior jack to go with the block plane or little smoother. Edge planing is fun. I think the Sears Handyman planes are a little lighter than the...
I did a floating floor, Advantec over 3/4 foam, screwed and glued to 4" x 3/4 pressure treated strips as backing on all joints, over Delta-FL. 3 out of 4 walls have structural "Trim" which...
I have a Rockwell Model 10 contractor saw that has a router mount on one cast iron wing. I would like to build a box around the saw motor and router body that will contain and channel the interior ...
Spiral Manufacturing makes the fittings PSI was selling. www.spiralmfg.com I talked to them yesterday and they sell to the public.
I've played with Epoxy Rosewood and Lignum Vite. It seemed that when I wiped a surface with acetone I could watch new oil get drawn to the surface. One of the new epoxies " G-Flex " is advertised...
I didn't just put the "talented and successful" part in incase he's a forum lurker........
I tried this logic with one of the talented and successful furniture makers I worked for. I slipped with the palm sander and left a little track in the veneer inside the knee well underneath a...
I know that this started as a "Form or Function" discussion of dovetailing, but when I think of a "Philosophy of Joinery" the first thing the comes to mind is
"Chain saw to cabinet...
Saws are found in the copper age.

Quick googling shows chisels existed in the copper age. I do not think that with copper as a material a...
Extrapolated guess: Chisels need a more "advanced" Metallurgy to produce. Saws can be made of much "softer" metal as can axes and adzes with a convex blade geometry.
Did it for years and worked my self up the corporate ladder to $8.50 an hour.
