Yes, I do plan to do both. I realize that the ID has to be larger that 1/4". 5/16" will give me a 1/32" clearance - as long as there is not too much deflection, it should work. As for the OD, I want...

I am planning to use a 1/16" router bit for inlay work. Since I will be making a template to follow, which size bushing would you recommend? The bit will have a 1/4" shank. I am thinking
maybe a...
Need recommendations for 1/4" blades to be used on 20" bandsaw. I have used regular carbon steel blades in the past, but they have a short life and tend to break easy.
Many thanks, Mike
I noticed that Blu Spruce tools is offering their fishtail chisels on sale. Has anyone used these chisels for half blind dovetail work? Please give me your opinions.
Has anyone had experience removing the infeed table from an older Hammer A3=31 jointer/planer? I have to remove the table to do some work on the feeder block. I need some advice regarding the hinge...
To Erik Loza: Can you help with the questions on this subject?
I am currently in the process of converting my 1st generation Hammer A3-31 to a Shellix cutterhead. I am at the point where I need to remove the infeed table in order to remove the old cutterhead...
This slab was mostly red in color with two thin black stripes running across it.
I was at a wood dealer today and saw a slab (approx. 5' x 21" x 1" thick) labled as "Black Coolibah." I am only familiar with Red Coolibah burl from Australia. I have never seen Coolibah sawed in...
I run mine on a 20 amp line and have never had a problem.
For those of you that own this jig, I need some help. I have two sets of chisels,Veritas PM11 and Stanley 750's. All of my plane blades are Veritas. Can I use this jig for sharpening these items? I...
Thanks all. I think a 2mm gap is what I will use.

I am about to install a maple shiplap back on a chest of drawers. I need some advice on the width of the expansion gap between the four maple boards approximately 36 x 5. Appreciate any help.
Is there such a thing as nails for a nail gun that simulate cut nails?
I am building two small boxes with maple tops and jacobs boxes. I need to make visible splines. Should I go with jatoba or some other wood for the slides?
I agree with Tom. I just started spraying and had a devil of a time getting vertical surfaces right - sags and runs. The folks on this forum gave lots of good advice. Like most have said, it takes...
Tom, Specifically, which floor finishes have you used that are that tough?

High John, Just tried speeding up my technique. I got no runs or drips. The finish did have a light pimply feel to it. Maybe I should open the fluid delivery more? Will sand and try another coat...
Thanks John. I will try speeding up.
I am trying to finish a chest with enduro-var. The top and trim sprayed beautifully. When I try to spray the vertical sides I get huge runs. I tried turning the fluid down to one turn from 1 and 3/4...
Neil's blotch control is a water-based product. I checked with Charles Neil before application. He confirmed that it is fine to use under Enduro-Var and other water-based products i.e. High...
I should have added that I have already put on the recommended two coats of Charles Neil Blotch Control, so the grain has already been raised and knocked down.
I am about to spray a cherry chest with Enduro Var. This will be my first time with this finish. What do you recommend for sanding between coats?
I would suggest Arm-R-Seal wipe on finish by General Finishes. Easy to use and provides a very durable finish.
I am about to use and spray Endo-Var for the first time on a cherry chest of drawers. The chest is prefinished with Charle Neil's blotch control. I want to end up with a satin finish. Should I apply...
