Pesky buggers! That is a darn shame. It happens a lot. I suspect corners were cut when it was "Kiln Dried". I agree with the others that taking it to 150* now will ruin it.

I use West System epoxy thickened to paste consistency with collodial silica. It wets out amazingly well without running all over the place. The exceptional wet out characteristics insure that it...
The gentleman I worked for in Boston in 1981 used a Craftsman Crome Edge molding cutter on the table saw to make window sash. It took at least two passes. I don't remember how he did the cope &...

The out house looks as legit as everything else. That must be a two seater? Great images! My Mom owns the old school house in Wane County Iowa that she and grandma attended. I fantasize about saving...
I am glad this thread resurfaced. It appears the rule "no machine with horse power greater than 1/2" has been removed from the list. It did seem silly.

Great Job Mr. Koepke! Those planes are Dandies!
I just cleaned up a scrap wood pile that was left out in the rain for over two years and found an off cut of a lamination glued with III and it is still perfect. The piece happens to be roasted black...
I am following this thread to help myself get educated and wonder what type of well is being discussed? I assume the discussion is about deep, drilled wells?
There are lots of windows pictured in the writings about the Shakers but I do not see a whole lot about sash construction.

I was interested to see how much the Shakers influenced Mr. Nakashima and the rest of the world.

I saw this folding laundry rack in "The Shaker Legacy". It is a big one too.

Neat-O! I love the 3 leg chair
Its fun to get a peek inside your shop! Keep up the good work. Don't forget to surf (at least a little).
After watching the launching of Tally Ho, I re-realize how much I / we have enjoyed both the building and the messing about.
This March our Rangely turned 30. It has a dipping lug rig but the...
I have some old copies of Small Boat Journal from the seventies. There is an article about two guys who sailed from New Orleans to New York in Lasers. I hope I can find thoses magizines. It is an...
I just started "The Wager" by David Grann. I am enjoying it. Life and death on the high seas! (as experenced from a warm, dry, comfortable chair).
I just watched the launching of Tally Ho. Another...
I used boat winches with seatbelt style webbing. Even with two 2 inch straps and a ton of pull on each, clamps and cauls were still required to flatten the layers.

I learned some about the forces required to make bent laminations from the video about the making of Stienway pianos. "Work around from the center outwards" . The bending and clamping is shown right...
The I have followed several threads about Memorial Boxes that the woodturners here at SMC have posted. There is some remarkable work back in the wood turners archive.
Here are some forms with access to both sides. I will try to dig the round window form out of the shed. It is set up like a BBQ rotisserie.

Remarkable! I tried to watch my old VHS version of The Last Sailors the other day and decided I need to get a digital copy. Leo & Tally Ho would fit in nicely along side many of the boats and sailors...
The "Dark Day" is an interesting bit of Shaker history. This article tells more of the story.

Large wheel size is largely beneficial. I think it is more important to have large wheels than large H.P. (although you really need both). Re-saw blades on small wheels work harden quickly and put a...
