I've looked at several great ideas for a box joint jig for a table saw, but have never gotten around to building one. I just picked up a 16" Omnijig at one of the shows, but shortly after saw the...

Thanks for all of your help! Sometimes I get like a deer in the headlights and I just need a little prodding to get me going again.
Thanks,

Thanks for the quick replies! You bring up good points about how thin the veneer is on the plywood. I wouldn't even be able to break the edge of the cases and they would be exposed to damage from...
Can anyone help me find an article about using plywood as edgebanding to get a perfect match? I'm trying to design a vanity using 1-1/2" thick case parts and inset drawerfronts. I will probably end...
I'm using these-

They are great hearing protection, but they have a volume control to let you hear am/fm...
Jim,
I noticed that you rebuilt your own with the kits from Jason. Was it easy? Did you save a significant amount of money buying the kits and on shipping?
Thanks,
Roland
John,
I procrastinated building my torsion box because I hadn't yet set up or ever used my planer. I ended up using the jointer and planer and made a reference surface and my torsion box turned...
Here are a few more pics of the assembly table in progress.
I just finished (almost) my DJM / WoodWhisperer / Alan in Little Washington style assembly table. Because I was worried about the wax on the hardboard adversly affecting my waterbased finishes, I...
I just sent you a pm that might be helpful.
I also wanted to say that I just finished mine and I used 1/4" of double sided maple melamine in place of the hardboard. When it gets beat up, I will...
I also use pocket holes to hold faceframes on melamine cases.
Someone mentioned gluing and clamping the ff's on and then shooting headless pin nails through the ff. The hole is so small that...
Funny you should mention the drill press as the only tool your shop teacher would allow students to use. I almost cut my head off when I tried to drill a larger hole in some stainless steel scuba...
I saw one reply that said 120v motors don't have a mag switch, so this might not apply, but every once in a while, when my Unisaw doesn't seem to want to start, I push the stop button extra hard and...
With my Kreg jig, the only times that I've noticed creep is when I was using pocket screws to hold cabinet panels together. If I didn't use that special clamp that has a post for fitting into a...
I've also used Cab Parts and was very happy with their price, quality and customer service. It does kind of run counter with what we do and talk about on this forum.
If you really plan to go...
Hi Greg,
Try to find a good splitter with the anti kickback pawls. It's not so much that we would remember being saved from a nasty kickback by the pawls - they work more like a finger board,...
Consider buying some SO or SJO cord in 14/3 or even 12/3 and a heavy duty plug and make your own. You're already going to be wiring the cord to the motor/junction box, so go the extra step and wire...
Hi Matt,
1) Quick-Staple the 1/4" back on with 1/4" crown staples and then glue (Roo Glue) and screw (to the sides, top and bottom from the outside) hanger straps (1x3 or 1x4 melamine with...
Brad,
What area are you in? Maybe a fellow creeker in your area could tell you about a local supplier.
Hi Trent,
Just some thinking out loud for your consideration:
1) Humidity and warmth can make it's way from the living space into the attic. Insulation will slow it down. Roof vents and...
Adam,
I can picture what you are describing. I am curious, is there a faceframe on the front of the uppers? Is the lower "rail" of that faceframe about 1-1/2" or 2" high? Is the top surface of...
Adam,
You mentioned faceframe construction. Is there room, on the bottom of the upper cabinets, to install blocking? If so, carefully measure and drill through the top of the base cabinets...
What kind of projects do you think you will be working on mainly?
I have both. For most woodworking, I head for the scms. I set it up with the msuv from Rigid and the stop system from Kreg. ...
Thanks for the quick replies!
Does anyone remember a thread about workbenches, possibly a build or buy discussion, where someone provided a link to a woodworker who was building nice workbenches for others for about $800? If you...
