Thanks for all the replies and ideas. The spindles will be 3/4" square. I don't have a lathe so I hadn't considered making a round tenon.

As for equipment, I have a jointer/planer, a bandsaw and a...

Hi folks. I’m making a king sized bed soon, and my wife wants it to match the rest of the furniture. So that means mission style, QSWO, with lots of spindles. Like probably 45 for the headboard...

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you.

I’m idly thinking of future projects, and it got me thinking. If you have a project that you want to use, say, crystalac clear grain filler on, and you’re trying to avoid the dreaded orbital sander,...

Thanks! If I remember correctly, the cabinet itself is about 88” wide, 33” tall and 14” deep. I did want the chisels in a front section, but the right side is very mildly inconvenient to get at, and...

I figured I's post a few things that I finished up recently. Apologies if the pictures don't work correctly!

First up, after finishing my roubo bench, the plastic shelves and tubs that held my...

Whoa, this is an idea I've been kicking around for a while! Just might have to do this now...

Well I rechecked the tension and, while on one side it was tight, on the other side it was quite loose. I was unable to tighten it enough with the idler so I think the chain is worn too much. I have...

Jointing works just fine but the feed rollers are disengaged when jointing.

I do disengage when in jointing mode. The chain tensioner is a separate plastic wheel that you can loosen and tighten....

I waxed the tables and it doesn’t change anything.

The chain seems to be tensioned appropriately. The teeth on the cogs aren’t “shark finned”, which is how I’d tell on my bicycle if they’re worn...

Just checked the belts - seem nice and tight and in good shape. Is it possible the rubber out feed roller has worn to the point it’s a different diameter to the I feed roller? Or could excess roller...

Hi,

I have a Jet JJP-12HH jointer/planer combo. Been working great for 5+ years. Recently however it started skipping when in planer mode. It gets bad enough that the chain drive for the feed...

Thank you all for the suggestions! I’ve ruined several parts and even a whole case project with power tools, so I’m really interested in doing everything (maybe except milling stock to S4S…) with...

Hi,

I’m planning to revamp my tool storage in the near future. Ideally I’d like to make individual “cubbies” for my joinery and miscellaneous planes. I can definitely make the dadoes for the main...

So as I get more into hand tools, I’m recognizing just how left hand dominant I am. Totally fine for most things. But I got an eggbeater drill based on how ridiculously satisfying it is to drill with...

Thanks guys! Some good ideas. I think I’ll either pick up some 90 degree clamps or make a big David Barron alignment board. I’ll let you know how it goes!

Hi guys, I’m making a radiator cover that will be 4ft high and 3ft wide. I have a couple questions about the logistics of dovetailing the top to the sides.

First, pins or tails on the top board?...

Oooooh, I see. That's not obvious looking from the outside. I'll loosen the nut on the wheel then, and see how much slack I can take out. Thank you for your help!

That's exactly where I'm at - I just can't figure out how to get it to move! The nut "seems" to only tighten and loosen the wheel. Do you know how that moves?

Hi, so I have a Jet JJP-12HH jointer planer combo, about 4 years old. Recently when planing stock there have been clunking noises, with the wood stopping for a second with each clunk and I have to...

Prashun, I think that's what I'll do next time I make a Maloof seat! It ended up being not a big deal to scrape and sand to level, I'm just looking ahead to where I might get slight misalignment in...

Hi guys,

I'm going to be building a set of chairs soon. I've built a Morris chair and a sculpted rocker, and was able to work around the various angles. These chairs are going to be standard...

A couple times a year Jet runs a 15% off sale. Usually spring and fall I believe? I'm not sure the exact timing though. Quite nice for the expensive stuff if you can wait!

I have it. Works well, relatively quiet. Quick changeover. 12" jointing is awesome.

The motor runs a bit hot so I replaced the cover panel with steel mesh. The jointer tables are a bear to set...

Ok. Track saw it is!
