I use ~3 mm diameter bamboo skewers from the grocery store. I can cut a skewer into three 100mm long glue applicators at the baby bandsaw, I never use the skewer point, it’s useless but the squares...

Thanks for the advice on the dust Jim, my P100 mask usually lives in my truck nowadays so I can buy groceries - but I will go get it for the rework.

As to the finish, are recommending a coat or...

Well ... I would like to comment. I have never worked with bubinga. Made a tabletop out of it. Sanded it to 180 grit, applied a coat of Behlen's Rockhard Tabletop Urethane .... I also applied a coat...

Everyone has a different reason and plan for how/why they do things. I have the Rockler table and steel stand. I already had a router bit drawer set up in a different cabinet that is closer to eye...

I agree with the previous poster, I have all of the other toys but the table saw is the center of all of my activities. No board ever makes it onto a project without going through my table saw, often...

I read that the gum is released by trees that are struggling, usually from insects. I personally love it. For me, the wonderful thing about cherry is that it has so many tricks to offer in its figure...

FWIW - I have been using the DF500 for about 10 years, I bought one new when they came out. I do love the machine and have built countless things in all shapes and sizes with it but like all tools...

I love apple, but it comes at a price. Knots, rot, checking etc. Or pay a LOT for nice boards. I bought 4 tree trunks from the local apple orchard and slabbed them with my chainsaw. They checked and...

Are you doing the compressor for a short burst or continuous? The short burst is easy because of the pressure regulation, with the continuous the pressure output varies with the flowrate.

For the...

I needed such a machine screw one time, I studied the problem from a few angles ...(could fabricate it on the lathe, could buy a 2 part die from Greenfield with the right TPI but for larger wire size...

Interesting thread, I am seriously considering this exact saw, it is very helpful to read the experiences of others and gain confidence in the product.

Looking at the pictures I have seen of the...

First off, I am a true square junkie, I have a 12" combo square, 2 4" double squares, a 6" double square, 3 machinst squares and a few of those Incra T-square things ...... in addition to woodworking...

I'm with the guy that said just get off the computer and just get to it. All the thoughts about wasted lumber and the time to rip etc apply when you are thinking about slabbing lots of logs. But one...

Now that I got everyone's attention, here is the question:

I am babysitting some pet rats for a colleague's daughter while they are away for Christmas. They left plenty of food and some litter,...

Wilbur, the Woburn MA woodcraft carries all that, and some Starrett layout tools, and every model of Pfeil carving gouge and Hock blades and other high end LV items and a nice selection of vices and...

I live outside Boston and patronize the store in Woburn. Yes, sometimes I could get something for a little less money on the internet, but I am interested in seeing a local store stay around. I like...

I could not agree more with everyone else on this thread, all those jigs and manufactured whatever are not necessary. What is necessary are some high quality sharp things (chisels, planes, sawblades...

I agree with the poster that suggested that your machine may be defective. In particular the loose fit is disconcerting, the poor alignment is possibly an out of parallel problem or maybe a technique...

You can prepare some glue size (~4 parts water to 1 part PVA glue) and coat the end grain 15 minutes before you glue it (with PVA) and that should stop the end grain from pulling the moisture out of...

I am not sure about locking the knob and using it as a fixed base, basically from what I saw the height adjust happens when the knob is unlocked. There is a fine tune but that is pretty limited in...

I have 3 Bosch routers (all electronic variable speed) and dream of the 1400 and 1010 in my sleep. Contrary to other users I hate the Bosch Colt. Well maybe that is a little bit strong, the motor is...

I would probably use the forum, I purchased a few basic tools for carving and have been practicing a few basic things. I am interested to incorporate some carving in my work.

I assume you mean Red Alder, I am not familiar with it but my wood book says that there is little or no difference between sapwood and heartwood color. In contrast cherry will have creamy white...

I concur with the majority of hte other posters. I patronize a local Woodcraft so that they can stay in business so that I can continue to go there and study things prior to purchase. The one thing I...

FWW did a review only about 6 months ago, included maybe 10 saws, rated the Dozuki Z saw very favorably..............
