My take is get a bigger saw than 14" for 12" tall stock, also HP does matter I'd get at least a 3hp motor & if your spending the money a brake on a band saw is well worth it ! Band saws spin blades...

Interesting point on the air dry VS KD, I paid for KD from a very large supplier who sells a lot hardwoods, do suppliers knowingly sell air dry and call KD ? If so could you imagine the problems a...

I agree with Jess-em stock guides, but 1st get your saw/technique down. You should be able rip those parts down to almost perfect with out any guide or feather board. I'm surprised at how "off" those...

The OP said He hasn't even used the blade yet ? Use it if and than decide on the Grizz email.Your gonna need more than one blade regardless of it's questionable quality so order a few blades ASAP.

Well, I built a simple type and it worked great cant remember on the snipe. Glad I went simple because after using it and a straight line jig on the TS I got fed up and bought an 8" HH jointer. The...

IMO, if it's strength your concerned with than the strength needs to in the direction of moments greatest force and that appears to in the down force from when people 1st sit down. I think any...

Something doesn't make sense, if you bought it at a "dealer" and it broke without abuse or misuse they will take it back there are consumer laws they can't sell defective equipment. It's not your...

Been enjoying the thread & was wondering (and didn't want ask) if you tracked your hours on the build. Because I just finished a bent laminated chair/bench build & it took me way way longer than I...

Yes, http://www.woodwise.com/wood-filler-products/

Cant tell if there's a void there but if there is I'd try this (if you don't want tear it off & do it again) I've used Woodwise & it can blend in so well you literally can not find it after sanding...

To the Bonehead who posted about buying & production has a very narrow minded view but that's his problem.
Derek, thanks for posting up your chair builds, seeing some of your work in progress has...

If I remember right comparing TB 3 & TB 2, TB 3 has longer open time & can be used in temps as low as 45 deg. TB 2 min. temp use is at 55 deg. Since I live where outside temps will get in 20's...

I recently got a new Leigh RTJ400 and thought it was defective (prior to use), I called Lee valley & explained problem Lee valley said "no worries try it out & if it doesn't work right will send you...

Of course there better just ask Carter.
I do know the BS has more "expert" ways to set it up "right" than any tool in the shop, guides included. You can find very experienced guys who swear bay...

Not a chance.

Nice write up Erik, can you enlighten me (a virtual novice compared to your experience) on what's the difference is in a "Euro" saw set up as opposed to a comparable saw made in some other land. I...

That's a great price, I never saw a decent used 735 for under 400 bucks when I was looking you probably have already done it but I'd put that up on CL for 350 & it will sell fast.
Good Luck

IMO always reference the actual cutter.

I bought and returned a 13 inch Oliver planer to Wqodcraft, for whatever reason it would not plane an even thickness. I'm pretty sure it was a one off problem machine and I would have settled for an...

I have nothing to add except that is a beautiful designed chair ! If you have the time please post up a few build pictires down the road. I'm just getting into bent, curved projects and very...

No chance I'm using a TS the stock is 7 1/2" tall ! I also use the fence Derek Cohen came up with (forum poster) that's in the latest issue of Fine woodworking mag. I think it is a moister thing as...

I'm fairly new to resawing thin veneer and wondering if I'm doing it wrong or is it to be expected & how to remedy what I see as a problem & at $11.00 a BF will get expensive. Problem is the board...
