My sister and her family visited us overnight last Wednesday and again on Saturday, so the week involved preparing, then spending time with them.
Late Friday afternoon and then Saturday morning,...
$6/year. Not a bad deal.
It's been a while since I chimed in on the weekly roundup of Creekers' accomplishments. That's not to say that I haven't accomplished anything...
But this past week's accomplishment in the...
My use of my crosscut sled is usually to make repeated short cuts. To that end my hold down is typically a No. 2 pencil with the eraser end pressed against the short offcut.
I was in one of the big box stores the other day and noticed the current Jorgensen-branded handscrews for sale. The jaws were made of whatever species is common in consumer wood products from that...
I too have an emailed version of John’s guide to go with a trio of drawknives I bought earlier in the year, but this PDF is excellent. Thank you, John.
I puttered around on the lathe some.

There’s another waiting on the lathe for me to get back to it, having (hopefully) repaired the damage from a catch.
I've been working on a shadow case for a pocket watch, much like one I built for my wife last year as a Christmas gift collaboration with her father. This one could have been completed weeks ago,...
Applying glue to both surfaces is the example I followed when beginning woodworking. I still usually do it that way more than 20 years later, at least when using PVA glue.
That said, I did a glue...
That's what I'm using in my Northfield 12" of about the same age as the OP's Porter.
It's normal for the bearings to get warm in operation. Not exceedingly hot, but warm. Your caps may be too...
Be aware that the Delta task light of that era was mounted with an articulating arm, not a gooseneck.

A gooseneck does offer a lot more flexibility in positioning, of course.
All good ideas. Wooden coffee stirrers, which look like popsicle sticks but narrower and thinner, can be useful too, depending on the size of your mortise.
The majority of mine are by Whiteside, which several others have mentioned already. I also have a number from Infinity Tools, which have been really good. Bosch-branded bits can be found in at...
The most hated tool in my workshop has a tail, so I'll save it for the other forum.
My most unsatisfying hand tool is the Stanley #4 that I bought new in the early 2000s. For many years that one,...
From Stickley's circa 1915 catalog, they made legs more or less according to your idea #3.

I think I see an ogee profile, or perhaps a bead profile. Many of the router bit makers such as Whiteside or Infinity make rail & stile sets with these profiles.
Ah. Cannibalization is definitely not an option. Wish I had an easy answer to your question, but unfortunately I don't.
What failed on the older press? Anything that can be taken off the newer one to replace the failed part(s) of the older one?
Just to let you know, there is a number that can be found on their Web site…. 573-397-6432.
Best of luck getting this resolved.
Next on the McLaughlin Group: Lie-Nielsen is the SawStop of the Neanderthal world.
Aaaaaand...FIGHT!
Yes it does, and yes, I do.
Over several weeks as time permitted, I've been building a chest to keep in the workshop and organize some tools, etc. The chest is made of cherry scraps, some of which narrowly and undeservedly...
Congratulations, happy anniversary, and big thanks to all who put in the work to keep the Creek flowing. Here's to another 19.
Where Derek says this...
...he means this.

I wondered the same thing as you at first and didn't notice Derek's solution until he explained it.
