I am now convinced that oil in the exotics was the culprit. I may have failed to mention, but I did a test glue-up on some domestic scrap with the glue on hand. The joint held intact, including...

It’s been a few days, I’ve been a bit distracted. (And, the forum has been BUSY!) For those who may be interested. Did some test glue-ups, convinced myself that my glue was OK. Learned about the...

Hey all, thanks for all of the insights and comments. After posting my query this AM, I also went by the local Woodcraft and posed my question.
A summary of what I think that I've learned and...
(Haven't been here for a while, lots of other distractions.) SO I recently, for what I intended to be a quickie Christmas present, bought one of the Woodcraft "Exotic wood cutting board kits" (brown...
Hi folks, has anyone had any experience with these? Are they really as great as the buzz alleges? I’m generally a fan of Whiteside bits, but I’ve also accumulated a level of skepticism toward most...
Hi All,
So, Im not a turner - not yet, anyway. But a friend wants to try her hand at carving some small bowls, and she wants to use local wood. Here in the Inland Pacific Northwet, we have an...
I recently needed to go the other way (1/2” to 1/4”) for my PC 7518. I’ll look for a link to my post and responses, but if you’re in a hurry you can likely find the thread by searching on “collet”....
My first choice is a whole collet, I ordered the Elaire that Ray recommended - the most economical solution!
Thanks all, for tips and info! I just ordered the Elaire 1/4” collet.

Hi folks,
Im looking for either a 1/4" collet, or an adapter, for my PC 7518. It's mounted in a table with a lift. A web search and results at the popular on-line merchant yields results, but the...
Howdy All, hope this is the proper forum for this question. I've used my Japanese pull saws - dozuki and kugihiki (sp?) a few times in the past, for short cuts. This is the first time I've tried to...
Well, duuhhhh! I hadn't used the router table for literally several years - got distracted by "life events" and very little woodworking of any kind. Then, after my post, I got to browsing around on...
I built my router table a few years ago and found a used Sidewinder lift for the table. It worked great until just recently, now it no longer likes to lift the router but makes a popping noise when I...
I have some Two Cherries chisels, I went out and checked. Sides on those are very slightly beveled - maybe a couple of degrees. OTOH, I have some "Stormont" (Oxley?) chisels, sides on those are as...
Thanks, Jim! The Milwaukee is battery powered, but as you mention, I've already got some red battery-operated tools, so that's not an issue, and the "stand-alone" feature is one of the things that...
Anyone here sprung for one? If so, thoughts, please? Im sorta needing a pin nailer for an upcoming project, and I have to admit a slight fascination for red tools. I know those are on the pricier...
I have “eclectic” tastes in music - combo of classical, classic rock, contemporary “soft rock”, Christian, even a little bit of country. With our recent downsizing which got me my first real shop, a...
Anyone have a weather radio, one of those that supports the “SAME” codes for by location warning? My old Radio Shack receiver seems to have given up the ghost. If you have such a receiver, likes?...
At the risk of being banned outright, or at the least, laughed out of the country - as soon as I find 'em in my archives, I'll post some pics of my WURT (World's Ugliest Router Table!) Point being -...
I need to get me some of those! Always one more tool on the list...
Thanks!
Marty
This! Thanks, Mike! After posting my dilemma, and still thinking it was my technique, I went out to the shop and started practicing on some scrap. Just as you noted - I randomly flipped the saw over...
Thank you, Jim! I appreciate the insights and especially photos!
Marty
Thanks for the tip, Jim - you might find Mike's note below interesting.

I hope this is the right place to post my question, I use a combo of hand and power tools in my work and I'm still inexperienced with a lot of the hand stuff in particular. THus my question.
I...
