    Surely I'm not the only one who's curious about cost. Excluding shipping, what's a "typical" cost for a single maple drawer w/ plywood bottom? Maybe 20" deep, 5" high, 20" wide.

    OP, I wish you well finding a good jointer.
    And thanks for the post - you've started a gang war and it's very entertaining. Now, where did I put my popcorn?
  6. Cost? VFD?

    I'm curious about the money if you're willing to divulge. I think this is a 10" jointer that costs around $3200 + shipping + the helical head.

  8. Use MS to "pop" grain w/o damage to wood?

    I'd like to know how best to make the grain more visible. When I finish a piece, BLO or Tung oil often transforms the wood. Water seems to help, but not very much often. Is MS good and is it safe...

    Marshall -

    If you could settle for the K4 (that's what I have although I put it in a jig), there might be several people in this thread who'd be willing to sell you their old K4!

    Andy, Bubinga seems possible, after checking the pictures in Wood Database. I thought the pictures worked out quite accurately on 2 & 3. I tried but failed to get a decent photo showing the grain...

    I reorganized my lumber rack (all lumber that isn't pine (unless clear) or ply. Found 2 curly maple boards (7' x 6" x 4/4) so I started a laptop rolling desk project - Hooray! But I also found...
  12. Pantograph - Mathias Wendel is building a new one on You Tube

    I love Wendel's engineering mindset. He's now building his third (!) wood pantograph. His first was slightly awkward, his second was too large, and he finds he prefers using the ready-built aluminum...

    I have a Stanley 112 in nice condition. The iron has about a 60° bevel at one end and is square at the other end. Working at the square end, I tried to turn a bur using a good burnisher.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I just did again, although the last time was years ago.

    The Ipe is REALLY hard. Hard to drill, hard to cut, and heavy (I think it doesn't float). I built the floor of my front porch out of it and it seems to be virtually indestructible. I oiled it a...
