    Show us your Bench

    Thread Starter: Leigh Betsch

    How about a "Show us your Bench" thread? Say two pics max, best features, construction materials, maybe list the accessories, vices etc. but limit each bench to one post, to keep people from hijacking the thread and make it easy to see a lot of benches. I know that there is a workbench section in...

    Track Saws and Rails

    Thread Starter: Julie Moriarty

    I saw Bosch makes what looks like a pretty decent track saw but it's not sold in the U.S. It seems, "track saws aren't exactly flying off the shelves in the USA" is part of the reason Bosch hasn't introduced them into the U.S. market. I had previously thought track saws sold fairly well. What...

    MERV 16 (or HEPA) Air Scrubber/ Filtration

    Thread Starter: Peter Aeschliman

    Hi guys, I'm trying to improve the quality of the air in my shop. I've noticed that I get a sort of tightness in my chest just behind/below my sternum after a day of working in my shop. I have a plan for upgrading my dust collection, so now I'm turning my attention to air filtration. I have...

    Small shop layout

    Thread Starter: Dipan Patel

I am a novice woodworker and am hoping to get seriously into it by incorporating a workshop into an addition to our house. So new construction it will be. As...

    Which is more durable? OB or WB poly?

    Thread Starter: Michael Dunn

    Hey guys! I have 9 table tops constructed with BB ply and banded in poplar (I know I should've used Maple, note to self, live and learn). I'm using GF Brown Mahogany Gel Stain. I was going to use a WB poly clear coat. I know you have to wait until it completely cure otherwise the water and oil...

    Walnut coffee table

    Thread Starter: Prashun Patel

    I just completed this walnut coffee table. I've gotten three tables out of this slab. The slab was 2.5" thick, resawed and book matched. The live edge at the top flares out to a point, and I just couldn't figure out how to soften it without removing the figure at the end. In the end, for me, it...

    Freehand Honing Microbevel

    One tactic is not too maintane it at all. Make it very small on your polishing stone only and on the next sharpening remove it first with a coarser stone.

    Need to finish pine the old school way.

    I don't think either the Amish or our ancestors stood back and threw handfuls of stuff at their precious furniture to distress them. I thought you wanted

    Here's My Solution

    Sorry for the late reply. I messed around with making my own above the table dust collection guards. None of them worked really well. I retrofitted a

    ADA Training in June?

    Dave,

    You would be the fourth person and we need at least eight.
    I'll give it a couple more days to see if more people are interested.
