I'll have to go with Mike's - I really love his vise-less methods.
Now what I could do is use my old bench as a glue up/assembly table.

I do have a bench that I've been using for my jewelry making (no this isn't your standard curved jeweler's bench) and it's something I bought off of Amazon.
It's steel adjustable frame with a 1-1/8"...
I've decided I want to crank out tons of cutting boards.
I'll need a good consistent way of ripping short lengths of boards all day.
Would a contractor saw be ok for this or do I need something...
If you would take enough of 2x4's or 4x4's etc
and cut them to length (this would be the heigth) and then glue/band them together
make some feet for them and turn it on end, couldn't this work...
I'm thinking it might take me a while to save up for a nice bandsaw. I watched Peter Sellers video about him bringing in a bandsaw! I couldn't believe it but he really sold me on it because He even...
Oh I have a bedroom but it houses my computer and I'm afraid the dust and everything else would clog it up and it would end up being a hot mess. I could hook up a dust extractor to it but still I'm...
Thanks, that might be my solution I'm looking for. I'm aiming to be a hybrid but if I can eliminate the tough jobs my hand (ripping, resawing) then I know I'll give myself a huge boost.
well, let me ask you all this:
Is there some way I could put a small one on a wheeled cart of some sort that I could pull in the house at night?
maybe something like:...
I'm in South Carolina now, I need to update my profile.
I think I'm going to invest in a wooden bow saw and do it by hand or buy it already S4S
I want to get a bandsaw but the only place I can put it is outside.
Is this throwing my money away? Will it rot to rust quickly? Or do I need to hose it down with WD40 every day when I'm done.
...
Well maybe what I should do is to build a simplified Nicholson bench, because to be honest that's what I really want.
I'm thinking 72" should be plenty long. I could do 3-2x8 or maybe even 3-2x6...
ahhh. thanks.
OK, basically I want to make a SUPER SIMPLE bench.
I'm thinking 2 - 2x12's and one of these https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-DECKER-...gearpublish-20
I have one already and putting them together...
My dad is interested in funding a wood shop for me and I’m trying to give him an honest price.
I’m talking SawStop TS
I need a good brand for the following
Router Table
Bandsaw – this could come...
I put on my TW 111" 3/4" blade and got all my rollers setup where I want them.
I tension the blade and then I'm as loose as I can go but the knob on top is tight. Shouldn't turning the knob on top...
I checked it for flat before I even put it on. I called Rikon and they sent me a new one.
mmmm.... not good.
Will be calling Rikon
With the help of my strong wife I stood the bandsaw up for the first time after getting it home yesterday late afternoon.
I’m waiting now at this point until my new Timber Wolf 3/4” 2-3tpi blade...
Well at this point I'm leaning towards LN because Veritas doesn't sell an 8 jointer and a 4-1/2 smoother at 55deg.
Then again I might just try to make my own from wood. Because both of those would...
I like what I've seen on videos on how the 735 blows out the chips
but I don't want to buy a cyclone big vac just yet,
are there filter bags that I could just attach to it?
I'm looking at the Worx Worxsaw 4-1/2" for $57
vs
Rockwell for $80
I'm leaning toward the Rockwell, but maybe the other would be fine.
I don't have a bandsaw or tablesaw and I hate my big old...
I'm looking at Lie Nielsen vs Veritas
I'm leaning toward Veritas because:
1. it's lower cost
2. the side set screws holding the blade from skewing.
Is the set screw "feature" that big of a...
OK, I watched a Youtube vid and he used a 7 jointer plane inbetween the roughing and smoothing plane.
OK, so lets say I have some rough stock. So in order what do I do?
I'm thinking this:
1. cut to rough length of what I need
2. flatten one side
2a. start with roughing/gouging plane - I have a...
