BTW Prashun, thanks so much for sharing the builds, I've been following your build threads over at TDPRI and you're a wizard.

Mostly just for the cleaner look. The flamed maple is so nice I hate to cover it up with speaker rim.
So you're saying I shouldn't machine corn in my shop without proper precautions? It seems there's a kernel of truth to the explosion rumor after all.</joke>
I don't know that I actually posted this here. I just finished a 1x15" speaker cab for a Weber P15N reissue that's been sitting in the woodshop getting dusty for 10+ years. It's going to sit...
My background is in EE, if I can't solder, I need to reexamine my life choices. I went to college to learn to build things and discovered what they were actually teaching me was math which is not...
I'll likely start with a lefty tele short scale for my daughter (7y/o) who swears up and down she'd learn how to play. If I'm going bolt on, I'l likely build a jazzmaster first although a thinline...
Not that you were goign to, but I have the older LN #9 mitre plane (the big square one they don't make anymore) and it's hard to keep the lateral action consistent.
That looks great! How hard was the neck carve to get the way you wanted it?
I've been planning and studying in prep for something similar. My wifde won't let me buy a PRS Custom 22 soapbar, so...
I actually am not having any trouble at all with clogging in the ducts.
The main issues i'm having are the really terrible DC pickup design of the bandsaw (Laguna 14/12) and to a lesser extent...
I just built something very similar (using a cannibalized 1.5HP delta single stage over a SSD XL into 6" PVC mains). It works pretty well. I'm getting around 450 CFM which is both insufficient and...
One thing I thin Derek pointed out to me too on those LV Skew rabbets. Don't curl your offhand fingers up under the plane sole like we sometime do on a bench plane. It's super easy to cut yourself...
Thanks for the responses. It literally never occurred to me to build a proper F&F for regular rip cuts shorter than the slider length. My current F&F is just two pieces of plywood with two runners...
The thing I 'm referring to is the "width to the slider side of the blade" point reference style for doing parallel ripping on the slider side. They sometimes come in pairs.
For super big/long...
My workshop is built kinda like this with a ridge beam and rafters and then very little in the way of rafter ties at ceiling level. What rafter ties there were have the nails pulling out from the...
> how is the K3 working for you? I can get you Kevin’s contact if you need something. I liked it better before they had a rep in Colorado - no sales tax
It's working great! Need to make a couple...
Gang,
Recently the DC on my K3 went from OK to terrible. I opened up the saw and discovered the 4" internal hose from the blade shroud had gaping holes in it from where little crosscuts had been...
Tell them to come to Denver.
I have the dialap DMT super X coarse and it works as advertised (the big one)
For just getting a blade back flat fast, I've had good luck with a steel plate from McMaster + 40u diamond paste. It...
Thanks for your help everyone. So after doing the first one all with the 10-1/4, I decided to try a variant of the technique Warren and Dave alluded to one the next two. Worked out much much...
>I'll probably go with my usual – oil/varnish mix followed by French polish shellac and paste wax.
Do you pre-seal with a shellac layer first? This sounds similar to what I've been gravitating...
Sorry about the use of internet jargon. It's what all us kids are using these days (I'm 45).
David,
I hadn't thought about using the plow plane to cut the shoulders. Kinda like a wide kerfing...
TL;DR: How to cut wide, deep rabbet in hard maple without exhausting myself?
I have a bunch of rabbets to cut in some 7' long curly, rock maple boards. This is for an interior trim project and I...
I stumbled along for 10+ years with no Dust Collector, and I'm so glad I finally ponied up and got one. You will be happier actually dealing withthe dust. That said, dust collection is GIANT chasm...
Hey Tim,
Any chance we could get some pictures of the new C3-41 (especially in the 79" model)? I'd be curious especially to see the slider/saw portion as it looks like the saw footprint is a bit...
I'm at the point where I need to start storing my saws with a bit more care than laying them in a pile on top of my tool chest. So I'm planning on building a sawtill.
But before that I'd like to...
