Sorry - when I said dowel, I was referring to the long metal threaded rods that allow for sideways adjustment. There's a nut glued to the end of it, which is (or was) in turn glued to the side...

Doug - Yeah, the holddowns aren't really all that necessary, especially if I can touch the edge of the piece lightly with my fingers.
I encountered a problem tonight with the board after shooting...
It seems to work well. The adjustable fence holds the piece firmly and can be fine tuned. It's a little bit of a pain to adjust from a setting for a thin piece to a thick piece. I think what needs...
Hey all,
I'm just a beginner in woodworking. I was in need of a way to plane the long edges of some thin pieces, and, taking some ideas from suggestions given to me, made a shooting board with an...
I finished my shooting board today, and it seems to work quite well. I'm creating a new thread for it with pictures.

Thanks a bunch for the replies everyone!
I think I might avoid using the walnut as a cutting board, but still might turn it into a serving board. I recently purchased some bird's eye maple and...
Neil - are you saying that mineral oil is never a good finish for cutting boards? From reading through bunches of other posts about making cutting boards, it seems like that is by far the most...

I understand that woods with open pores like...
I'm including some pictures of the two inclusions. They're about an inch wide with spots where you can see all the way through. Some areas have it packed in, others not so much.
Regarding the...
I have some pieces of bookmatched natural edge walnut that have some bark inclusions where a branch was splitting off. The inclusions stretch to the edge on one side and is surrounded by wood on the...
Hey,
As a disclaimer, I'm new to woodworking and this is my first real project, but I've tried to do my homework and hope to be able to get into it more. Any help would therefore be GREATLY...
