I'd go for a single 8x50 tenon per joint. It provides ample strength for the size of your doors.

Tried a bunch, but the Gyokucho 372 Razor Ryoba takes the cake for me. Solid build, sharp, and precise - everything you want in a tenon saw.

Personally, I'd lean towards SketchUp Make 2017 for occasional use. It may not have the latest features, but it's reliable, and the learning curve is manageable. Plus, why pay more if you're not...

This whole safety mandate on table saws is a bit of a double-edged sword, isn't it? On one hand, the SawStop technology is proven to save fingers, and that's fantastic. On the other hand, it feels...

Congrats on the upgrade! That's a beast of a bandsaw. It's great to hear about the setup process, looking forward to see the video showing its performance.

Oh man, that sounds painful. Sorry to hear about your mishap. Thank you for sharing your story here, it's really a reminder of how quickly accidents can happen in the shop. Wishing you a speedy...

I feel your pain on the sandpaper prices. I've been getting mine from Home Depot for sheets, but when it comes to online options, supergrit.com is my go-to.

Considering your focus on hand-tool woodworking and the need for efficient crosscuts, a track saw appears to be a sensible addition. It complements your existing toolset well without taking up...

The market for spindle sanders can indeed be a bit niche, but that doesn't mean there aren't enthusiasts out there. Have you tried tapping into social media groups dedicated to woodworking or DIY...

Traditional breadboard ends are great for stability and resisting warping. Dominos can simplify the process, but the choice depends on your preference.

Consider the types of tools you'll store. Staggered depths can optimize space for various items. Maybe reserve a couple of deeper drawers for bulkier tools.

Honestly, for what you're looking to do, any old grinder should get the job done. But agree with the others, fle markets are a goldmine for grinders.

Right, cherry is a quick, flashy show. I usually just do mesquite or hickory.

Check eReplacementParts, they seem to have something that matches your description. But if you can't find an exact match, making your own should do the trick.

Found a James Swan chisel in a box of assorted tools at a flea market a while back. Cleaned it up, sharpened it, and it's been a standout performer in my toolkit ever since. Must say, they knew how...

Just installed a wooden board on the wall, spaced it nicely, and used some DIY wooden blocks with drilled holes. The clamps hang by their handles, and it's surprisingly tidy and convenient.

Beautiful work! I can only imagine the amount of thought, effort, and skill you've poured into this project. I've never spent 300 hours on building anything, but I might think about making more...

I've had success using a 1/16" end mill, and while precision collets add that extra stability, I found them more crucial when working with even smaller bits. For your setup, it might not be an...

You've got a good set of options. Among the oils you mentioned, I'd recommend using pure tung oil for your guitar neck. Smooth feel, excellent protection, and looks good too.

Makes total sense to me. If you rarely find yourself going beyond 45 degrees and have other tools for those odd angles, why not optimize the miter saw station for what you use most often? I've found...

Hey, great trip down memory lane. I've tried a variation of the brown paper bag trick with drops of glue, and it worked surprisingly well. But lately I've been leaning on band clamps too.

Another vote for the Qualspray gun with the PPS system here. Good quality, reasonable pricing. I've sprayed everything with it and it's been smooth sailing.

Oof that's dangerous. Whoever approved that photo needs a safety lesson themselves. Basic table saw guidelines seem to have been thrown out the window.

I've experienced the same thing with that glue. Definitely wise to explore other options. I stick with Titebond 2 for most projects.

I've seen folks use similar machines for a range of woodworking tasks. For mortising and tenons, you're on the right track. To optimize for wood, consider using high-speed steel endmills or carbide...
