Happy 4th.
If I need 3/4" stock there really is no room for milling when I'm using 3/4" stock. It would be a shame and a waste to be forced to buy already expensive stock at 8/4 just to have the ability to mill...
1) What are you guys using to clean the top?
2) The owners manual shows plans to make feather boards. How are these feather boards attached to the table?
I'm extremely discouraged with...
How do you get rid of the bow? I'm using 3/4" stock. Getting rid of that bow would reduce the thickness to at least 1/2" rendering it unusable. It seems like I cannot get a straight piece of 5/4...
Hi guys.
First time posting in the cave.
I'm making an armoire and the side rails for the upper portion are 64" tall. The method of attachment to the 1/4" plywood panels is called stub and...
I want to finish the entire piece. But I can only finish what's facing up. Its Watco lacquer. Directions say apply with a good quality brush. Can this be wiped on?
I have wood I stained.
I then (using a brush) applied lacquer. How do you prevent the finish from wanting to move it's way to the underside of the piece? You cant flip the piece over even if on...
Thanks guys
Hi guys.
I have cherry plywood and was curious to know the starting grit when sanding in preparation for staining.
Any time I ever see a picture of someone's shop (including my own) I always seem to spot the orange Ridgid oscillating sander in the background.
When do you guys typically sharpen your jointer and planer blades? I'm sure there must be a rule of thumb as to how many linear feet you pass before doing so.
I have only run pine or fir through...
I have a 9" ryobi as a second bandsaw and it's a piece of junk to say the least.
Let me guess... changing blades is starting to suck?
If this stuff didnt cost $7.99/bdft I wouldn't care so much. Perhaps I still shouldn't. I only have 2 thoughts that don't involve the fire pit.
1) Make a ton of pen blanks and try to sell them....
I have the circles drawn in the inner surface and I've tried a jam chuck with it as well. The jam chuck was kind of crude and I'm thinking of remaking this with the jam chuck from the beginning and...
I just made a donut chuck. The chuck itself turns perfectly but once I attach something to it the work piece wobbles. I know it's because the piece isn't centered exactly. I've tried several times...

Here is one side in all its glory. I only had a problem with squeeze out near the bottom but between the straw trick and light lifting at up with a flat carving chisel I managed to remove...
This isn't glued... yet. I'm going to do it a little at a time. I'm afraid of using too much or not enough glue. I'm afraid to run out of working time. It took a little bit just to get it to this...
This thread caught my attention because I just started to build an armoire which requires dados. What's interesting is that I just finished cutting out the pieces for one side and dry fit it...
One vote yes.
One vote no.
Lol.... love it.
Since there are two sides, perhaps I'll try one of each to see which I prefer then will know how to proceed from there.
As for glue. I always...
The side panels are 3/4" cherry with 1/4 cherry ply. I believe the method of joinery is called stub and tenon.
I'll dry fit the sides before gluing but have 2 questions.
1) Should I stain the...
Hey everyone.
I bought my first and only lathe back in 2008. Its a Jet 12-20 which I outgrew in about a month. I'm looking to replace it with something bigger. Any ideas on the best bang for my...
I would have rather not have had to hold those oily wings up myself and get rid of... oh so much packaging trash. I'm amazed at how quiet it is.
They also could have given more room to attach the...
Yep. It's so funny to look at.

It works for me.

But, there are consequences to such a purchase. I had to buy the LOML this....

Ps... pay the $150 extra to have it assembled if you get one. What a pain.
Pps... Get divorced...
