Can you build an exterior door just by glueing up 1 3/4 t and g sapele or utile? I would like to have the board and batten look (vertical lines) without anything else. How does this design fail? ...

Definitely looking for contact info. I would like to put in new or refurbished but I believe they will be hard to find. I believe the bearings for quill have an oversized inner ring.

Started my first power tool restoration on a Walker Turner 15 inch drill press series 900 model 1-1140. Everything seems pretty straight forward except I can't find any good recommendations on how...

I know this is a difficult question but based on the picture would you say I'm wasting my time on any of them. The ultimate goal is to have a usable plane.

Thank you for this. I'm hoping a place like hock tools can help with this potential problem.

Stewie,

Thank you for your post. I recently bought a 26" wooden plane with a Baldwin co Cast butcher iron. The plane seems to be original to the iron dating it somewhere 435278between...

Hoping to restore the following to working condition

Stanley no. 18 block plane "excelsior"

Winchester no. 3005

Anyone have any experience with Robland? From what I've read this would be a down grade for me but I would be able to drive to their North Carolina headquarters and possibly put my hands on the...

Derek, Without spending 10k+ what manufacturer would you recommend outside of mm and hammer.

Derek, did your tables stay flat after grinding? I really don't won't to return both of them because of the effort that takes. This is my personal shop and it's in my backyard.

I believe when jointer tables are not flat there is a point of diminishing return with the number of passes you do. The greater the tables are bowed, cupped, dipping and twisting the more your...

Definitely a dip. I went side to side under the straight edge incrementally increasing the gauge of the feeler gauge until the low point could be determined.

Phil that is a painful reality that is slowly setting in. I spent hours dialing in my old 8" jet which eventually produced results that I was very happy with. I hoped with an extra 3-4k that was...

John and John with the old machine I have become very good at spring joints. Just because I can make a panel with the old machine doesn't mean I've gotten what I paid for. I believe a good...

Thank you Darcy. I do believe that it's a casting problem combined with being blanchard ground. At a 6k price tag maybe I'm asking to much. I just wish that the company would set expectations...

Sorry my picture doesn't seem to be helping anyone. On the outfeed table of the new machine they supposedly checked I am confident within .002" that their is a .013" dip on the diagonal. I am using...

So far the company I purchase the jp combo off of has been extremely accommodating and for that reason I care not to mention their name. I purchased the tool about a year ago and quickly brought to...

Thank you John. I believe prior finishes to be 100% oil. There does not seem to be any sealer/shell on the piece like a poly, shellac or varnish.

A client of mine would like for me to clean her solid (carved out of a tree trunk)exterior Baobab wood day bed without removing the patina then reapply oil to prevent further checking. She says the...
