Many years ago, I saw a revolving bookcase that intrigued me. I forgot about it but remembered it recently. After a little bit of googling, I think it was a "Tabard Inn Library Revolving Bookcase"....

Thanks for the tips everyone. I am slowly accumulating clamps in advance of a project so I'll pick up a few of the Jorgensen ones and compare them to the few Bessey's I already have.

I'm curious if anyone has experience and opinions about the Jorgensen Parallel clamps sold through Lowes. They lowered the prices and a 24" clamp is now $30. Bessey REVO clamps are also on sale at...

If you do head out Rt 80, Take a Dip Tools is another option. Bob Garay has a small store within the Mr. Sawdust school but call ahead to confirm whether he will be there and open.

Where in NJ are you? I periodically see mobile sawmill services on CraigsList and this is one that I recall. https://www.mobilesawmillnj.com/
If you can transport the log and are in northern NJ,...

Thank you both. I am slowly cleaning out the garage to get to the pile of lumber and I'll get a better sense of the quality. Wide walnut seems to be over $10bf in my area but I'll expect to get...

About 15 years ago, I bought a stack of black walnut slabs that are 6/4 to 8/4 thick, 20"-22", and 15' long. They were stored in a garage and I have had them stacked in my own garage ever since. ...

I have been looking for a woodworking school/class for a while now and figured I would ask for some help. I am in northern NJ and am looking for a 2-4 day "fundamentals" class to take with my father...

I'll be going and maybe looking to stimulate the economy a bit. I went to the same show last year and thought it was worth the trip. I'll probably make it a full day on Saturday and catch a few of...

I just started ripping some pieces to build the beam-style "bench" shown in the FWW Tools & Shops issue a few months ago. Has anyone built it or something similar before? If so, do you have any...

I recently picked up a DeWalt 6" bench grinder and I can't get confident that everything is working as it should be. The two wheels appear to mount on a single central axis, which has opposite...

I have been debating the same question myself lately; this thread has been helpful. I am newbie and challenged myself by buying a big stack of rough walnut and cherry planks off of Craigslist before...

Thanks for all your thoughts. I already have Tolpin's book and will probably go ahead with his universal fence. As for the ruler, I'll stick it and keep measuring each cut.

Thanks.

I finally have to swallow my pride and get some opinions. I bought a new Grizzly Tablesaw a few months ago and all the set up went fine except for setting the adhesive ruler on the fence tube. I...

I am tempted to start this same bench. I love the qtr sawn look along with the cabinet they had in a subsequent issue. Dan, how did it turn out? Has anyone else built/used this bench design or...

Does anyone have any opinions on the Craftsman Pro routers? Sears has a kit in the store with a 2 1/4 HP router, fixed base, plunge base, and D handle, all on sale for $199. The kit isn't on their...
