I just realized my digital access to the Fine Woodworking site expired in February. Although I didn't use it a lot, I enjoyed being able to find older articles on line and occasionally look at the...
One trick I use with figured maple is to wet the surface with water or alternatively mineral spirits before power or hand machining. This seems to relieve just enough brittleness to minimize tear...
It’s TN so unlikely the local governing body cares unless it’s in a larger metro area and eve the probably not an issue.
I know because I bought a home that had been the basement finished by the...
I use the Lee Valley chain saw burrs to sharpen bandsaw blades. They are available in several diameters and stand up to a fair amount of use.
I have the Veritas mini- router plane and use it occasionally on small work where I can't get my large version due to space limitations. Most recently to do hinge. mortises on an assembled small box.
I love yellow birch. Very hard and smooth when prepped properly. I cut some off my NH property at one time and used it for some furniture door panels. Is it prevalent on the UP?
John,
WOW. Big tables, built-in cases for living rooms and libraries. I wish I had such decisions to make.
I have a small bridge over a drainage ditch that needs protection and recently had a discussion with. a painter who proposed a very expensive solution ro what seems to me a relatively minor issue so...
I suspect some increase might be due to mild winters in the Northeast that prevented loggers from being productive for much of this winter. Hard to log on mud.
If big enough to make 6" x 6" or larger timbers they make great raised bed surrounds.
That looks like a classic "casehardening" result from improper ion operation. I've encountered it in lumber bought from some small independent mills. In one case, an entire purchase of some rough...
Neil,
Try to contact the East TN Woodworkers Guild who meet at a makers space in Knoxville. They have a website (ETWG). I'm sure someone there can help you.
Please include me. Thanks
John,
PM sent on DX60.
Just found the #3 bronze on the website so signed up on the wait list. Might be awhile though.
I have a can of Minwax brand paste wax that seems to be equivalent. Not sure when or where I purchased it and haven't checked online.
About 6 years ago I had a fusion of L5 to S1. Cadaver bone grafts were used in the surgery. I was back in the shop within probably 3-4 months but with limitations on lifting but I don't remember...
I purchased a kit to make a rocking pizza cutter for a gift. The kit contained the blade and four 1/2" rivet type of connectors but I would like to use epoxy to bed the blade in a groove wood...
Me too. I was a long term watcher but recently my password no longer worked. I can get no response to a password reset request and each time I try to establish a new account it tells me my email is...
Gave up on them recently as they seem to have lost control of their login system and mechanism for password resets. I keep requesting the link to reset and never get a reply. Either they all died...
I'd buy it for kindling to start the wood stove.
The beams that were in the original package were 2" x 4 or 5"d hollow aluminum. There were some end caps that locked onto the beam and were fastened with some big spikes into the log ends. I would...
483075I had one of those that I purchased used a number of years ago. As long as you are strong and physically fit they work pretty well for they are. but they require a lot of fairly heavy lifting...
I loaded mine in my Honda Ridgeline. With all the numerous boxes of the saw, fence, base, etc. it filled it comfortably. Set some help at your shop as the saw is heavy. I slid mine out on some 2X...
