I have 3 four foot long clear ash boards, about an inch thick, and perfectly quartersawn. Dunno if one of those works for you cut in half and glued up? Happy to ship it if it helps you out.

OSB heathing for me. I rolled on some Kilz on the ground flat, then 2 coats of the cheapest white paint I could find. Screwed the panels up so I could pull them off to do future wiring. I can...

I have an 80 year old curly maple chest of drawers I've been fixing various problems with for a friend. It has a 3/4" solid maple top with about a 1" cup in it that I've been trying to flatten with...

I ordered a sheet of 1 & 1/4 Baltic birch, some contact cement and some scrap almond laminate from a counter place, cake.

Griz 15" helical insert, best tool I ever bought, figured wood comes out like glass.

That's what it was for me, I had one for many years, got tired of the little step lines caused by raising the bit by turning the motor. Went with a mast r lift which is awesome, especially for...

Nothing for me, I find that the spinning blade focuses my mind wonderfully.

+1 for the power drop from the ceiling. I ran mine to break about even with the right rear corner of my extension table, works great. Never in the way, and since it is over the corner of the table...

No guard for me. I've always found that a spinning blade focuses my mind wonderfully.

No, it takes it's combustion air from outside through a double-walled pipe. I've got the plastic taped down now, will see what gives tomorrow.

Pleny of windows, but it's cold outside. Brr! No rust, but the RH is quite high at 60-70% all the time, unless I run a dehumidifier constantly. I've assumed it comes through the floor, as the 2x6...

I'm looking for advice on controlling the RH in my 24x28 well-insulated shop. I know it's coming through the slab, as I didn't know to specify a poly vapor barrier under it when it was built 5 years...

Another vote for Tru Oil..

I cut tails first also, and as said previously the tail cut needs to be perfectly square, whereas the individual angles don't matter too much, the pins are made to match anyway. I will often run my...

I do as Jamie said when leveling stools etc., but I tape a pencil to the last guage block, and leave enough sticking out to clear the leveling block and shims as I circle the pencil around the legs. ...

Michael, regarding the grooves in the sides to let in a bottom, I run mine on a router table. The side with the pins is a thru-rout (is that a word?), but on the tail boards you have to start by...

Personally I like to get about 3-4 years ahead on my wood - it's a comforting feeling looking at the woodshed and knowing it's bone dry. I keep about 12 cords ahead, and use 3 or so a year. Having...

Ditto on the Kilz - one coat of that, one coat of the cheapest white paint I could buy, and the walls are snow white, with just a hint of OSB showing through for ambiance...

Try to paint them...

I too used 7/16 OSB in my detached shop. Cheap - less than $5 per 4x8 sheet. I rolled on a coat of primer and then a topcoat of the cheapest white paint I could find - did it on the ground. To put...

Lee Valley sells plastic covers for their bench dogs - think they're called bench pups. Got 4 and they work great.

Can't you just pare to the line with a a 1/8th " chisel?

I say go with the 8" - the tip speed is faster, and thus smoother all things considered, than the smaller 6" due to the fixed rpm's x greater circumference. Also, you won't have to crank the dado up...

Got one last month, love it. The disks don't last too long, but you can use any 6" psa disk, just (roughly) punch a hole in the center. Very repeatable, and easy to adjust. I've used it for...

I used 4' x 8' OSB, just rolled primer and (white) paint on the ground, and installed it with a drywall lift - piece of cake, and the sheets were only $4.50 or so each. Removable too, if I ever need...
