    How to bend wood like this - Outdoor furniture project

    Thread Starter: Alan Lightstone

    Looking for a new project to do. I've been spending a few months upgrading the workshop / fixing minor annoyances, and really need to actually build something. I ran across this in a magazine ad. The furniture is supposedly solid teak, though I don't think that will be in the cards for...

    Is there a small, accurate table saw?

    Thread Starter: Geoff Crimmins

    I need to downsize my hobby woodworking shop a bit, and would like to have a table saw that is smaller than a cabinet saw with the extension table. Is there a smaller table saw that would still be as accurate as a cabinet saw? Most of the smaller saws are jobsite saws, and they don't seem to have a...

    This morning I plugged in a small electric heater for the bathroom. No sign of life, figured it was either the heater or outlet. I turned off the circuit breaker (after I found it, panel is poorly labeled), removed the outlet and began poking around with a meter. Black to white was 0 volts, I was...

    Drill w/guide or router?

    Thread Starter: Rich Engelhardt

    Here's one I've been going over for the last 6 months. We have sliding pocket doors that separate our dining room and our family room. There are two of them 30 inches wide and they meet in the middle to form one 60 inch opening when open and a solid "wall" when closed. When they are open,...

    Cheap Bandsaw for Resawing

    ^^^^^^ This ^^^^^

    I've done more resawing than most, and cheap/low powered saws are a terrible choice for any sort of thickness for resawing.
