Well my neighbor came by, layed down on the floor and unscrewed the bolts. I have a problem with my legs and can't get on the floor so I couldn't see what was there. I guess I made a mountain out...

This is probably a silly question and will show me as a newbie but I have purchased a new PM 1000 table saw which arrived today. I unpacked everything and set it out in a systematic fashion prior to...

Well thank god for sawzall and a wrecking bar! I finally got the top and the old plywood off of the base and now I can do a new 2x4 top. Be assured it will not be fastened in the same manner!

I want to re-do my workbench but when I made it I think I screwed and glued a counter top to a sheet of plywood that was screwed to the base. Now I need to separate the top from the plywood so I can...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will give that a try this summer.

We travel quite a bit during the summer and when we return home my CA glue is normally all hardened in the container. I always leave the top off after opening a container as I have been told that...

I did blow it with compressed air and wiped it with a tack cloth before applying the finish. I think you idea, with a little adjustment, might work. I am thinking I could carefully apply a coat of...

I have been working on a bowl from a board in which I used strips of Padauk and Maple glued up to make my board. As I was applying a base finish of shellac the Padul seemed to "Bleed" onto the Maple...

I use a unit by Dagger, made by Leisure Time Industries. The model is the Detail Master III. It heats up quickly and the small tip makes it much easier to write, or in my case print, whatever info...

I want to use a sliding dovetail to join two pieces of wood in parallel. The plan is to make a bowl from a board with the dovetail joints in the middle. How can I assure that the dovetail is in the...

I have seen some wonderful grain in some Myrtlewood pieces and would like to try to turn something myself. How difficult is Myrtlewood to turn? I am currently near the Oregon coast, apparently the...

I have read Mr. Tibbetts book, The Art of Segmented Woodturning and I have watched his DVD's, Lessons in Segmented Woodturning, over and over so I guess I will take his advice, along with others, and...

I have been gone for a couple of weeks but finally finished turning this Holly bowl. I asked earlier how to finish it to best show the wood and you asked for a picture so here it is. This is my...

I am working with a piece of Holly that will be a bowl but I am not sure how to finish the project. The wood is so bright, almost white, so I don't want to stain the piece but it needs some type of...

After my first post I blew out the switch and the remote switch. I wonder if there was some moisture in the compressed air that blew out the dust but left some moisture behind. After a couple of...

I made a post a few days ago regarding my lathe that wouldn't run and Jet is sending me a new push/pull switch which they felt was the problem. I went out to the shop yesterday, plugged in the lathe...

Thanks for all of the suggestions and be assured I have tried them all. I finally called Jet and the nice folks there think the push/pull switch is bad and they are sending me a new one. Sure nice...
