    Thanks, everyone! Guess I was overthinking it. Thought I might have moisture or expansion/contraction issues with humidity swings in wood. Apparently I worry too much!

    Router bit storage

    Hello! I'm going to build a wall cabinet to store a bunch of loose router bits. I was looking for nylon bushings, and the 1/4" ID are pretty easy to find. The 1/2" seem to be a little tougher to...

    Good point. The ones I've seen are a bit rectangular or oblong, and appear to be rough cut out with a large gouge or other tool. The outside is rough cut as well. I've seen them used as...
  5. Anyone got plans for making a trencher bowl with a router?

    I'd like to make a few trencher bowls for friends and family for Christmas, but carving it out by hand is too time-consuming, and honestly, out of my skill set at this time. Does anyone have plans...

    Thanks for all the suggestions! Since this is a small piece, about 9 1/2 inches long, with the bark on the 3/8 inch thick edge, I will give the wire brush a try.

    Thanks again!

    I agree with the suggestions to separate the top from the base. I moved a 16" Jet planer from Ohio to Maryland in the back of a Saturn SUV that way. It will also make it a little less awkward to...

    Lowell,
    A while back, I started an inventory of my tools. I looked some stuff up on ebay, but mostly went with prices I would consider reasonable if I were to purchase it again. I did this for my...

    A friend who was a woodworker recently passed away, and his wife has asked me to help inventory his stuff and price it for sale. None of it is high dollar stuff, mostly benchtop type Craftsman power...

    I don't remember the model number, but a several years ago, I bought a used Shop Fox 5HP cabinet saw with the 52" rip capacity for under $700, with a couple blades. So I think $1100 is way high. ...

    First off, I'm not sure this truly a finishing question. But, as Christmas presents for my work team and poker group, I'm making "pizza slips", as someone called them. The wooden board used to take...
