Bridle joints can also be quite strong.

As mentioned, Festool is marketing off of their superior ROS sander performance. Their router routinely came in somewhere in the middle of the pack in reviews. The original Kapex was a joke for the...
Another happy owner. I use the "fines" number primarily. Like Marc I watch for anything in the mid hundreds area as a notifier. Consistency of conditions and location have helped me get a better...
I take concerns about coatings and depth shoulders with a grain of salt. More of a CYA than anything IMHO. I have never seen any extensive testing with millisecond results tables published for...
Just fairing a thumbnail profile on a couple of dresser tops.

My 'useful' part of the day grows shorter and my project timelines extend . . . :D
Don't forget the nanobots!!!! Run, neighbors, run!
Agreed. The historical value of some of our discussions has been a boon to me more than once.
I am convinced that all shops have mischievous elves. I started a spreadsheet many years ago to keep track of seldom used items. It now has 9 sheets and is hundreds of lines. I can find almost...
No problem. I'm sure they will get that right back to you ASAP.
They have some pretty minimal delay setups but, none are totally free from the echo effect you are experiencing. Once you get to 20ms of delay you will experience echo between the sources. We solve...
Assuming PVA and raw wood I have routinely moved ahead with sub-assemblies being glued to other parts after 30 minutes to an hour (depending on the weather) for years without issues. I generally use...
I finally broke down and picked up a new laptop as I use it for inventory control in the out buildings. I got tired of jotting stuff down or taking pics with my phone and then running into the house...
This depends on what you are doing. I would use face frame parts or carcass parts right off the track saw or SCMS for kitchen and bath. For furniture I am a bit more fussy. To each his own. There...
The good news is that it is an easy fix and not expensive. When I replace bearings I tend to buy an extra set. They are only a few bucks and I wire tie them in a zippy bag to the machine in some out...
I would know more of this "vinegar/epson-salt/Dawn mixture" you speak of :D. I have moved varmints along with minimally impactive treatments and would love to deal with the gravel area in a similar...
I have a gravel area with plants. The layer cake goes something like so . . .
- original soil
- Gopher screen (heavy hardware cloth basically
- About 1" of sand
- Double layers of stapled...
Thanks Jim. There are some tasks that we just consider tedious. The tasks involved with the final shaping of joinery, pulls and other design elements I consider the "fun" part.
That is some beautiful material. The value beyond $8 - $10/bf for generic walnut around here would be specific to the material and your value of it. I know that does nothing to help you. Much like...
Hard to go wrong with a No 5 or a low angle jack.
I'll just toss in that the fixed table / movable head is a good thing if the machine is able to keep the movable head stable and aligned. This should go without saying. However, if one looks at a...
Many of us have grown and evolved through the challenges of limited space. I say make the best use of your space that you can and don't hesitate to change if required.
My tools are way more safe than something like an automobile. That being said they are, of course, used with a degree of risk directly proportional to your training, experience, and personality :D. ...
As you have discovered, when you buy your cast iron router wing or table you have set the dimensions and corner radii of your usable plates or lifts. I agree that a lift for a larger motor with...
Thanks Mark. I try to use continuous or book-matched grain on the 'in your face' surfaces. I have a twisted sense of humor and it gives me a kick. I often do the same on drawer pulls if the...
