Thanks so much, Ken. And I appreciate the tip on the crowned wheels from TFWW. I'll definitely check those out.

Hello everyone. Per the recommendations in this thread (and elsewhere) I am looking to get a 180 grit CBN wheel to hollow grind plane blades and chisels. I'm looking at the options from Woodturners...

I imagine Titebond II should work just fine, especially since you're laminating just a couple boards at a time. If the glue starts to tack up a bit and you need to make smaller adjustments, you can...

Hi Assaf. I'm pretty new to this myself, but I just finished a couple of workbench top laminations (out of 8/4 ash) so hopefully I can add a bit to the already great advice you've received. Daniel...

First, I'm sorry to hear about the ongoing limits with your hand, Thomas. This thread is interesting timing for me personally. I am having carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel surgeries today (both on...

The Bob Van Dyke video from FWW that Winston linked above is really helpful. Even after filing the cheap eclipse style guide I have according to those instructions I still had trouble registering...

Thank you so much for the help everyone. Jim and John, I appreciate the advice on doing a relatively short acclimation time; very helpful. David, thank you for the heads up on Megan Fitzpatrick's...

Hello everyone. I found a couple of older threads that address parts of what I need help with, but there are still some details I could use assistance with.

I'm going to build a dutch tool chest...

Thanks so much for the replies so far everyone. I was wondering about how to think about mortise depths so this is very helpful.

Hello everyone. I'd like to save up for a floor standing drill press. I have searched the forum for information on quill stroke, but I have a specific question on what you view as a minimum threshold...

As of right now I'm planning to build Schwarz's "Two-Day Chest", which is plywood/glue and screw version of his anarchist's tool chest...

I kept running into good reviews and the space saving with the glide arm was a consideration. I'm not locked into a specific saw though.

Thank you, Curt. This is incredibly helpful, and addresses one of my hesitations with the track saw/MFT approach. Your advice on a good jobsite saw makes a lot of sense, and I find this a very...

Thank you so much, Derek. This is how I find myself thinking about hand tools/power tools as I am just starting out. I'm drawn to both, though more to hand tools, and I'm certainly not concerned...

Thanks so much, Tony. Have you found the TS55 powerful enough for hardwoods? I've read some reviews saying it has plenty of power, and others saying it can bog down at times. I won't be cutting...

Thank you, Jim. I've loved my bandsaw, and do use it to cross cut smaller pieces. This board helped me to understand how a bandsaw complements a hand tool shop and that's been a huge help for me.

Thank you so much, Jim. Cutting sheet goods is definitely the main benefit of the track saw over the miter saw. Even though I don't plan to use sheet goods very often, it might be nice to have in...

This is my first post on the forum but I have been reading it for a while and want to thank you all for providing so much helpful information.

I am a beginner and I'm still setting up my shop to...
