Zach,
I meet some of your qualifications, clean-shaven, no flannel shirts, Lie-Nielsen fan. I miss the age qualification, however, by about 52 years.

Me thinks you're right. My intent was to reply to a question about a used Oneida DC system. Guess I OD'ed on stupid pills.

John,
I have the Oneida 1.5 in my shop, purchased in 1995 as I recall. It has performed flawlessly. The original version had an internal filter that was a pain to remove and clean, but they make...

I had my shop built as an addition to my house in 2000, in the same architectural style, Cape Cod. It is 24X28, 10 ft. high at the roof line, and 13 ft. at the peak. It has a poured concrete slab,...
Very Nice! I've built a couple of these and admire the design a lot. I would suggest we thank Chris Becksvoort for his design.
Mark,
A hobby ceases to be a hobby when the word "deadline" enters the picture. Can you imagine a client who never uses the word?
Tony, that'a a beautiful bench. I plan to make a similar one, using Schleining's basic design, with the Veritas Twin-Screw on the end. I have considered moving the trestle nearest the end vise to...
I built my outfeed table about 20 years ago and used tempered hardboard for the top on the basis that it would be easily damaged and just as easily replaced. The table is 38" wide by 72" long and is...
I have a Freud LM74 30 tooth rip blade that burns most everything. I complained to Freud about it and they replaced the original, but I have the same problem with the replacement. I have checked...
I've recently been using it and I like it a lot. In addition to the reversibility feature, you don't have to remove every bit of old hide glue in repairs. The new hide glue reconstitutes the old. ...
I scoot the drum across the shop floor and out the door. I then check to see from which direction the wind is blowing and stand upwind from the drum. Tip the drum over and turn it upside down.

My ten year old Oneida 1.5 HP cyclone totalled out to about $1700 when I bought it.
Tom,
I would suggest that you call Osborne Mfg. Co. at 1-800-852-9655. They are in Williamsport PA. I had a problem with my EB-3, and originally called Excaliber, the actual manufacturer, for help...
Maurice,
I've had a lot of experience in concrete finishes. Most, except for the epoxies, don't work well. In my own shop, I used a method that I have recommended to others many times, and it...
When my Unisaw was delivered, I had it shipped to a local furniture mover. They brought it to my house, and several young guys with necks about the thickness of my thighs took it down the stairs and...
The width of a jointer and the correct number of clamps should be spoken in the same breath. There is no such thing as enough clamps. There is no such thing as a jointer that's too wide, providing...
Try Lee Valley.
Our Stickley Dining Table is 74 inches long with the two leaves up, providing good space for three people on a side. The center section is 28 inches wide, each leaf is 23 inches wide.
I would recommend a gloss oil-based enamel, sanded and rubbed down just as you would any other fine finish. In my experience, smoother is better, whether you are considering appearance or wear. ...
Wow!!!!!!!
I considered building one a few years ago, but discovered that I could buy one delivered and assembled for less than I could buy the materials. Look in the Pennysaver or similar weekly newspaper for...
I have been using the Bose headphones for about a year. Once you get past the $$$ shock, they are outstanding. Noise levels are reduced to a very acceptable level, and I am able to hear my wife...
It's gratifying to hear that others have problems with hinges other than me. After more years of woodworking than I wish to talk about, where do I have problems? Handcut dovetails? M&T? Finishing?...
I use a right angle adapter that I bought about ten years ago for about $30. It works very well, but.......! It's a pain in the you know what to install, so I use it on a B&D corded drill that I...
