I assume you have a freestanding jointer. If floor space is a problem, then maybe consider J/P combo machines.

The difference is subtle but definitely noticeable with gouges and skews. I don't see any reason to prefer one over the other but if you are accustomed to turning with one type then the other type...
The title is the question. I don't want to use the raised backs of the panels as a reference surface and they would interfere with a router base. I'm leaning toward running them vertically against a...
I started using the less expensive Lennox Woodmaster C and flexback blades after damaging too many of the more expensive blades including Diemaster. The less expensive blades are still very good and...
I think the problem that the OP describes may be that the upright squared wings of the points stick out of the glazing fillet because of the depth of the muntins rather than the width of the muntins...
I assume the screen frames will not be supported on the sides by the framing of the building because otherwise this wouldn't be a problem. 2x screen frames should be strong enough without support on...
Yes, if the box slides smoothly and the slides don't have fine adjustment features then just shim the false front. You may regret using brads. Screws will hold better and be easier to back out while...
Maybe not directly related to the subject but what are the options for moving machines through a standard passageway door opening and over rough ground that is inaccessible to a truck? I have used...
If I were you, I would borrow or rent a timber framing circular saw and make the cut in a single pass. Then clean it up with sandpaper or handplane. It is difficult to align the cuts with the two-cut...
There are variations in the length and width of box springs and mattresses, both between manufacturers and models and even because of manufacturing tolerances. Even more troublesome, there is a wide...
At the risk of stirring the pot, why the obsession with high-end combo and rip blades? I understand the need for a high quality laminate blade because that is the last cut before banding, but solid...
As Patrick Kane points out, the difference between a 15" planer and a 20" planer is more than just 5" of width. Pressure bars and segmented rollers are also differences you may find but those...
Yes. Front vise of the left and end vise on the right is for right-handed woodworker. Front vise on the right and end vise on the left for left-handed woodworker. At least according to the lefties I...
This thread reminded me of milling white oak flooring without a functioning DC system years ago. The air was so thick with dust that I couldn't see across the shop. When the chips pilled up knee-high...
I'm working on a vanity that has 2"x2" legs joined by 3/4" stretchers/rails (lower ones are 4" above end of leg) with faces that are not flush with the faces of the legs - the faces of the...
This type and size of cabinet is often attached to both the wall and the ceiling with nailers in my limited experience. The ceiling nailer provides additional support against sag.
Track saws replace job site table saws if you don't need to make long rips. They are more accurate, safer, easier to move, and leave a better edge.
Not really a learning curve but the right side tracksaw blade may feel awkward. I have right and left side circular saws and am right handed. A Right side blade is more comfortable for short cross...
It is normal. PM recommends against adjusting the spring pressure on the infeed and outfeed rollers. It can be tricky to get the spring pressure re-balanced to where the boards don't rotate while...
Hand sanitizer gel from the clearance bin. It will stick to vertical surfaces and even hang on the bottom of horizontal surfaces. Solvent exposure time is important. With my straight knife machines...
Ok, so I didn't know there was such a thing as a box tool rest. This makes a lot of sense. I was working on straight-walled containers for kitchen use so about 3.5"-6" ID. I re-profiled a round nose...
Thanks, I guess some more info might be helpful. In 20+/- years of occasional spindle turning for furniture and stair parts I never had a notion of making bowls or boxes until I was given a bowl...
What hollowing tool do you prefer for excavating to about 6"?
I like the dark-light-dark lamination in the far curve on that board. The turnings are very nice too. I did some inside-out ornaments last year and sometimes had tear-out at the joints between maple...
I think basically all NSF-approved cutting boards are made of plastic. Not epoxy of course, but HDPE. I don't know that epoxy without an abrasive filler is any more abrasive than wood with a high...
