I guess I am the lone dissenting voice here.

One of the features of hackberry is little clusters of twigs at the end of branches. I don't see them in the picture. The bark doesn't look quite right...

Allow me to possibly add to the confusion.
As I understand it there is a big difference between BLO and linseed oil. Blo is linseed oil with a bunch of (toxic to one degree or another) additives to...

When I did the electrical part of my shop I surface mounted the panel. This makes add-ons later a lot easier because I can use conduit.

My saw has an overarm blade guard and as a result the right...

My shop is in a renovated two car garage about 30X30. I did a lot of work on it, I’m very happy with it, but if I was in a position to build EXACTLY what I wanted it would be a lot different.

As the man in Cool Hand Luke said, "What we have here is a basic failure to comunicate."

I'm talking about painting the part at the factory. Where I worked, everything that could be hung from the...

This was discussed a while back either here or on another forum.
The answer is pretty simple.
It is to hang the part for painting. That said, I spent about four years spray painting parts on a line...

Hey, if you want to get away from the pitch problem you just have to let it age a little longer.
Currently I'm in the process of making ten or twelve forms from timbers salvaged from the elevator...

"I have no interest in pens but other then tool handles I'd like to be able to do fairly small turnings and the occasional small plate or bowl.. "

Oh that's funny. I wonder how many regulars here...

As luck would have it, I already had a 3/4 ton 4X4 and a band saw when I was sucked into the vortex. I did have to shell out for a good chainsaw.
What nobody has brought up is the hidden and...

"I also left word with Fernbook, the manufacturer of the remote switch per direction from Oneida, but no reply there either. "

I have the same remote, a 3520B, and the same problem. But in my...

The drum isn't even on the machine when I'm trying to install a new sleeve. It acts like exactly what you suggest, like the screw has bulged out the middle.
The good news is that since the addition...

Sorry, Randy, I can't disagree with you more. I've had the Jet OSS for several years and even bought the three inch spindle for it and it has performed flawlessly. I haven't had any trouble changing...

I have the Jet benchtop, and I've never been happy with it. In a shop in which Jet/Powermatic is the most prevelent brand, it is really the only machine I have a problem with. The action of the...

Something I saw in someone else's shop but haven't done yet myself is the installation of shower curtains. He had clear shower curtains that hung from sticks of 1/2 inch EMT surrounding the lathe. By...

Another vote for Wilhelm Lumber.
Chris said southeast of Brookville (IN, not OH) but if you look at a map it's actually almost due south.
From I-74 take the St Leon exit and head north on IN 1....

In my entire life I've only given a name to one inanimate object.
My pickup truck is ALWAYS refered to as The Burgundy Lemon.
That is not to say that I don't call various tools names from time to...

Jay, I was asking the same questions two months ago and wound up with the 3520B. However, before taking the plunge I thought seriously about the 4224.
The main, maybe even the ONLY real objection I...

I have both the Incra and the Osborne. The only place the Osborn is better is for repetitive cuts because there is a little more capacity. In all other respects I think the Incra is a better choice.

Maple
Specifically tiger maple.
I'm not a furniture expert by any means but it seem like all the tiger maple furniture that shows up on the road show was made on this side of the pond. It is also...

I'd forgotten that part. The book disappeared into whatever dimension so many loaned books disappear into and it's been a while since I read it.
The kid only had a .22 which would not be my weapon...

I am curious how he lived out there! I imagine he got most of his food from hunting, but you can't hunt year round? Did he hunt legally with a license and all???? I don't imagine it would be too easy...

I’m just starting to get interested in turning myself. I’ve owned a Delta midi lathe for a few years but until very recently it saw minimal use. I fear to say that the bug has bitten and I will be...

Mine would have to be using grandpa's Craftsman scroll saw (only back then it was called a jigsaw) out in the little shop he had in a dogtrot extension on the house in 1957. I was maybe five at the...

I have both a router table and a shaper.
The router table is a homade affair with a PC plunge router. It's great for small jobs but has its limitations.
The shaper is a 3hp Powermatic 25A. You...

The advice on getting a planer and jointer is sound but in the mean time there may be another option.
On a few occasions I have been know to buy hardwood at both Lowe’s and Home Depot. It was always...
