    Yea it was the blog. That's the only entry I've ever read. So whoosh.jpg for me on that one. Now I'm curious what the actual amount was.

    "I did it because you would think I was an idiot if I turned down billions of dollars..."

    Billions? Really? I'm not saying BCTW isn't worth a lot, but multiple thousands of millions is still a lot...

    I tried using 80/20 1530 as a table saw crosscut sled fence and it did not stay flat. It was flat when I built the sled, but a few months later it was not flat. Never dropped it, never had a kickback...

    I haven't had to repair my benches yet, but I do save what I call "micro scraps" in several boxes. Some people may call it hoarding. :D I do sort them by species to make it easier at some future...

    It might work if the distance between the handle and the cutter were shorter. The smaller the router footprint, the less opportunity for the plywood warp to affect things in a negative way. The one I...

    Yeah I was thinking either remove the bearing or change to a straight bit, then mount a bearing attached to the table just over the bit. I started shopping for bearings but I realized I have some...

    All this talk about throw it away, it's garbage, crosslinking, the paperwork says it's bad... What I really want to see now is a strength test between a new bottle and the old garbage. If its joints...

    Ok I see it now. I don't know why I didn't see that earlier when I searched, maybe I used a different term.

    So this is like a reach-around bearing. How much of a...

    That'd be an interesting jig to see, if you still have it. Are you talking about something like the betterley 185?



    How do you adjust the height of the cutter? Is the router on a lift or...

    Good to know, I think I have a 6902 which may be close enough to the same thing. It's older, USA-made, but I think it's compatible. 690 may be a kit number and 6902 is a motor number? But I'm not...

    The manufacturer says you can add 5% of water to it without too much ill effect. That said, the strength may still be compromised. Obviously do a strength test before using it on a project of any...

    I've spent almost $200 on sharpening supplies, but I still haven't gotten or made a honing guide. I was able to get shavings from a hand sharpen, but I think this kind of thing could use the guiding...

    The cut isn't the problem, it's the bearing sporadically indenting the veneer. I've seen larger flush trim bits, so they may be less likely to cause damage due to the larger mass being more difficult...

    This is a plywood project, and it's thin and a bit warpy so using the planer is out. I have edging on all four corners, so even if the ply was perfectly flat and the veneer not paper thin, the planer...

    What I've just done for my current project is get the edging trimmed to less than 1/16" with the table saw and an aux fence, then using the router and bit I have trim as flush as it would get. For...

    Wow those are neat. But yeah, that's a bit much for me. Saw a Lamello and started getting the feeling I got when I bought the Domino. Clicked away immediately. Whew.

    Fool-proof flush-trim method?

    I can't get the plane to work with the oak I use that has grain in whatever direction. Card scrapers don't work for the same reason, but also there's no way to control depth.

    Using the router and...

    I know I've heard leather is great in regular vises. Not sure how grabby and soft it is, though.

    Friday I needed to attach some edges so I peeled the sandpaper off the cams that had loose...

    This looks like the best thing, yet. Silicone, PSA is an option, 50 hardness is an option, 1/8" is an option and it's not a million dollars.

    That might be worth a try, but it's possibly harder than desired. I don't know how much friction I'd get with it. 70A is on par with a shoe heel. I think inner tubes are 55A and rubber bands are 30A....

    I haven't been reading good things about the sil-poxy. So I don't know if there's even a way to attach silicone.

    I ordered this. For the price and ease of application I figure I can't go wrong....

    The problem with silicon tape is it fuses to itself. The cams definitely touch each other when the clamp is not in use, so that wouldn't last long.
