One other thing Craig....

The simple jig that I described above can also be used to cut circles on a table saw or a radial arm saw. I've done both with excellent results. One major caveat here...

Craig, I'm sure there are more complicated jigs that will, perhaps, do more that cut a simple round piece, but I've been using the same one for nearly 20 years. It is a 1"X10" shelf board, simple...

You are correct John, you'd mount the piece face up, perpendicular to the frame of the WoodRat. A bit of care would have to be used here since the work piece would be extended horizontally out from...

This application would be as simple as any other dovetail or finger joint on the WoodRat. Stopped or thru would make no difference. Personally, I like the idea of the thru joint.

First you'd do...

I have to agree with you. The plans seem to be more as a reference for an experienced cabinet maker than a recipe for a newbee like me. I've spent quite a bit of time rewinding the video and...

Mornin' Steve and welcome to the creek..

After reading all of the responses I had to go back and reread your original post to find out what the question was :)

There are a couple of factors...

I'm sorta in your boat for figuring out how to extrapolate stuff like this, but it seems that if you can check it with a framing square, you could mark it with the same square and cut to the mark.

Jimmy, how's it going with the router table project. I'm doing the same one and so far, so good. I'm finished with the carcass and interior, looking forward to doing the face frames and drawers...

In thinking of a response to this thread, I followed one previous poster's advice. I considered my current project which is a relatively simple, by-the-plans router table (Norm's). One particular...

My wife sells regularly on eBay. She had a similar request once on a pair of shoes. The person asked for a pic of the shoes on a young lady's feet with the full view of the model. We passed......

It may be a tad off this thread, but I also have another little solution that is really handy. My Mom-In-Law who is 87 years old lives with us and is very fond of Jello. We buy the serving size...

Oh.. and I forgot to mention that I do have several "Misc" stuff containers. They are also known as "coffee cans". I try to dump one of them on my bench and sort the stuff inside back to the...

Ellen, I found a relatively simple solution for the "new stuff" syndrome. I put false fronts on all of the little drawers in my "stuff" cabinet. Each drawer front is 3" wide by 1", 1.5", 2" etc.,...

Thanks for all of the replys. I've found at least a couple of things to check.

I suppose the first major item will be the ground. I pulled 4 wires from my main panel to the shop subpanel, about...

I see lots of good electrical advice here. Maybe someone can help me.

I have several standard incandescent light fixtures in my shop. These are temporary until I get the ceiling finished and...

And for another future reference...

Find a friend with a good metal detector, the treasure hunting kind. It will be able to discriminate between the copper wire and other non-ferrous metals like...

Hmmm.. lessee... I did build my dream shop. Tell me what you think...

It is a stand-alone building in my back yard, 24' X 46' on a 4" concrete slab. I wanted wood floors, but let others...

I REALLY want one of those, but it has to be further down my list of desires.
In the meantime, this will have to get me by...

I've enjoyed Sears' wrenchs etc, for many years, have never been disappointed with them and have exchanged a few from time to time.
I am a member of the Craftsman club, but usually haven't...

I have never thought of "rules". And, I don't have very many visitors because my shop is my hobby, not a business even though I do work for pay from time to time. Nevertheless, other than my...

Saturday morning I did a few "honey-so" chores, then with a little time left, I did a quickie project, built a folding stand for my music keyboard.

Sunday afternoon, I got started on a long...

7/16" OSB here, and if I were doing it again, I'd do the same.... cheap, versatile, sturdy as long as it is dry, paintable, etc., etc.

This is my first attempt at posting a pic, so if it...

Allen, I have the Griz 1023 with the Shop Fox fence, but I don't have the mobil base. I love both the saw and the fence. This is my first cabinet saw, so don't have a base of reference on other...

I have an old Sears Craftsman 6" jointer that my father-in-law gave me over 25 years ago. He'd used it for an unknown number of years prior to that. It is OLD. I can come up with the model number...

My only advice on jointers is that I wish I had an 8" :mad:

I NEED advice on my old jointer so I'll start a new thread...

Silas, there are actually three kinds of people.... those who can do...
