Good luck on the workbench! I got fatigued watching Sellers plane down his on YouTube.
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.
I enjoy asking...
To search for a Rikon bandsaw, type -
rikon (bandsaw,band saw)
If you add quotes to <band saw>, it will treat the words as one word, but it's not needed within the example above.
HTH
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?
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.
What were the steps and costs involved in converting...
Sheesh! What an outstanding reply - LOTS of detail. I've been curious about spraying so I read the thread, expecting short replies. Instead I find replies that I'm printing out to stick in my...
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...
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.
I...
I like Thien, don't like Thiel, so doubly red faced...
I'd think the collapsing sides of the can indicate I have a tight seal, but maybe that's causing a leak when it's happening. I will admit I...
DAMN! That's embarrassing.
I built a Peter Thiel separator for my Craftsman shop vac. Recently it's stopped working properly - I lose too much suction.
1) With 40' 1.5" hose connected directly to 2.5" Craftsman hose, I can...
Best regards back to you, Rod. Thanks for the effort and info.
Thanks for the suggestion. I just did again, although the last time was years ago.
Bill's big thing is to use a good cyclone with upgraded filters and 6" pipes with short smooth runs and the only...
I have two shop vacs, both setup outside with a hose passing through a window and inside on/off switch:
Craftsman shop vac - 2.5" hoses
Porter Cable shop vac - 37mm hoses (1 7/16")
And I...
WOW! What a remarkable tribute to Lee Valley. I remember reading a rave many years ago (Fine WW?) and - if I remember correctly - they were only slightly expensive. Now they seem outright expensive. ...
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...
I don't have and have rarely used poly.
I am building a rolling laptop desk with two sliding vertical pieces of 1/2" ply and a 1" maple arm that's 5" wide. I plan to partially "half lap" the...
How much finish should I remove before I can get a good glue joint between Baltic Birch and a maple board?
The ply veneer might be maple, but more likely it's birch.
The plywood is .45" thick...
2 possibilities:
Torture device for compressing an arm (leg? head?) until the rat talks!
Production clamping of cabinet doors (or something else)
Good find, if you have the space...
It sure is a shame that the thread title denigrated Eurekazone. I have an EZ system and wish them well, although I wish it was less a 1 man show.
