I know it may sound silly but I made scale size cutouts of the tools I wanted to end up with then considered the amount of space you need to push material through them. For example a table saw with a...

Being end grain like that I expect it will dry fast. If it were a hardwood I would say you stand a chance but I have never seen pine dry and not split. actually that is how I judge how dry wood is...

That will be tough, the wood in the center is denser and the outer ring is going to shrink. If you really want to use it cut it in half straight through the center, let it dry, then glue it back...

If you have ever nicked a rock with a chainsaw and dulled one side of the chain the saw will then favor the sharp side and tend to make rounded cuts toward the sharper side even though the blade runs...

I bought one of the broad axes in Cody Wyoming at a antique shop and carried it around town till I got back to my pickup. I told the story of the tie hacks many times that day.

I use a tape mostly, when I do need a ruler I pull the blade out of my starrett square.

If you are going to get a separate machine for delicate work why not get a scroll saw.

I would not hesitate to buy the grizzly. I had a older 18" with a 2hp motor and 2 speed capacity. It ran smooth and had plenty of power. I never used the lower speed as it is more for cutting metal.

That is actually one of the few things left that I will use real steel wool on, add wd40 and when done make sure to remove the oil with lacquer thinner, then wax.

Use the back side of an old belt and some automotive polishing compound. Wet or dry 3m sandpaper don't get duller it gets finer and comes in grades to 1000 grit or more. I take contact cement and...

Some blades just make more noise than others. I would be concerned more with the tip speed. too slow may be grabby and make a raspy cut.

I had a piece of one given to me, the guy bought them thinking that they were all maple. Turns out they were only maple on the ends in the impact zones. The center section was southern yellow pine,...
