www.scrollsawvillage.com is a forum dedicated to scroll sawing with many very talented members who share ideas and "help the new guy" attitude. I also own a DeWalt 788 saw and at one time taught and...
I'm not using them for curing epoxy, but I bought two packages, totaling 4 of these LED UV lights from Amazon recently to use in my photo/video studio. They are water resistant, not water proof, but...
Are you all aware that a Delta Contractor Saw motor is capable of 2 hp when connected for 240 volt power, but only 1.5 hp when connected for 120 volt power? Delta had these motors specially made so...
It has it's place, but I don't depend on it's strength and absolutely won't use it if it can be seen after assembly. It does hold things together - "while the glue dries", so sometimes when speed of...
Amazon has the Delta Pop-up splitter in stock. Not certain who is making them, but here is the link. If you are using table inserts other than the original Delta, you will need a slit behind the...
Two things cause problems with gaps in miter joints.
1. The miter cuts aren't EXACTLY 45 DEG.
2. The boards for top and bottom or the two sides aren't EXACTLY EQUAL LENGTH.
When cutting the...
You might want to look into the M Power CRB7. It can do far more than just be an edge guide.

Are you sure you mean "slabs"? Slabs are the thin piece removed from the log during the first cut from each side. They mostly contain bark. You won't be getting much wood, if any, from trying to mill...
I've made a lot of box joints over the years, using many methods and jigs. Some years back, when the Incra I-Box jig became available, it's inventor (a friend and club member) gave me a demonstration...
You want to make a "Cutting BOARD". So what are you planning to do with these pieces of epoxy? Cut them up and make pieces to fit between pieces of wood in the board? If that is your plan (to cut...
They make smaller drill chucks with a hex shaft to allow inserting into your existing drill chuck. I have one from DeWalt that was in the DeWalt drill bits area of my local Lowes. I think it cost me...
I noticed scratches in my saw table and found the cause. It was sharp burrs on the bottom of my Delta Tenon jig. I ended up making a piece of high pressure laminate (Formica type material) the size...
Posting your photos as attachments lets us see them much easier. Look for the "Go Advanced" button at the bottom of your new post. It should be easy from there.

I have 3 pair that I use often. Taking the time to make the backer board, like shown in previous posts, make a huge difference in their usefulness. A straight edge board for breaking down sheet stock...
For the sag, can you install the bottoms upside down? I had to do this, as well as make replacement strips for the bottoms of the sides, since the drawers had been opened and closed so many times in...
I also surround the jointed surfaces with blue tape. Dry assemble the joint, apply the tape, then dis-assemble for gluing. Any excess glue ends up on the tape, which is peeled off after the glue...
Moisture collection in your compressor tank can cause very serious problems. A faulty pressure switch can too. This is worth watching. It's amazing how much damage that a failed air compressor tank...
Don't use silicone spray.
If any of it gets on your wood or on anything that touches your wood, it will become a nightmare at project finishing time. Everywhere that the silicone drops land you...
I have a handicapped adult son who weighs 300 lbs and his heavy duty electric wheelchair to contend with here. We have the aluminum ramps of different sizes for all of our transition problems. They...
With a good straight edge you can check the flatness of the table, in several places left to right, again front to back, as well as diagonally. If you find un-flat areas, or more likely a potato type...
All of the cabinet sand blasters that I know of are self contained and recycle the blasting media internally until it's sharp edges are all chipped away. Then the media is dumped and a new quantity...
I always make the cabinet first, usually because it has to fit somewhere. Then I make the drawers and doors to fit the cabinet.

The small crystals will work, but they won't last long. Maybe some sheet copper in the condensate pans will work, but I have never tried it. Even the large crystals that I have (about 1") only last...
