Mirka has variable speed on their vac.
To boil this down, catches are not a result of tool shape. That's why hand skills are necessary. Tool companies try to convince you that they have the fix, but they don't make the craftsman.
Tell me how he knows the wood will be 10% because of his storage conditions. He has a running humidity and temperature recorder in his shop?
Prevent is a strong word, since it implies no changes ever. I've never heard of any product that would prevent a color change from UV light. Same goes for saying it is very light fast. Bihn Pho used...
I can't offer a comment on the possibility of a metal rod being inserted during construction without seeing a few close up pictures. If two boards were resaw and book match glued up, the glue line...
I didn't know Canadians had their own name for a cutter head and insert seats.

Thoroughly dry doesn't mean anything. You need to test it with a moisture meter to know how dry it really is. No two boards ever act exactly the same. If I make snug drawers, I only use quarter sawn...

If you cut it thick and plan to resaw, drying time will double. If you let it dry in log form, you could loose 4" on each end to cracking. I don't know what kind of bugs you have around you, but in...
Machinery skates is a tried and true method. But there are more and more electric powered equipment that is available for rent. I used a powered stair climber dolly that was a wonderful machine. Our...
I've never seen a pressure treated board, kiln dried or not, remain straight enough for making windows. Just how much cheaper are DIY? Weatherstripping sure will be a challenge.
A track saw would be the tool you need.
8/4 white oak is incredibly hard to dry. Cupping is no surprise to me.
Days of cheap shipping are long gone.
I replaced the switch on mine with a double throw light switch from the box store. It's been working like that for about 20 years.
No Google at your place? Veritas MKII, Worksharp, Burke Sharpeners, Chipping Away Power Sharpener, Sorby Proedge, etc.... There is also a carving tool resource right here....
Here's a quick and dirty fix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-8TnHhpM1A
I've seen people call a tree branch a log. What are the dimensions and weight of your log. The trunions under the table will be the critical parts, and no one knows what the engineered weight limit...
