Thanks for all the kind words. The carcus is birch plywood, maple trim and the fluted wood is alder. The finish is Minwax, Special Walnut, wiped as soon as it was applied, covered with a couple coats...

I wish I had a bigger shop so I could build something a little
bigger for a change. Well I never got one so I tried to build
something big. This project was from Wood's Mag "Towering Tumes...

My .02 worth of thought. I personally stand behind the decisions by Keith, Aaron and the moderators to improve, update and keep it a family of woodworkers. Sometimes it is better to be an indian and...

Just clicked the donate button for $5.00 (Per Keith) plus another $20.00

Peter, since I'am a hobby woodworker I tend to take the easy way out, I used a jig.:o Or the wify wanted now. ;) Which ever you believe:).

I decided to make a little table for the wify as shown in pic 1 out of an old Wood Mag. But pic 2 shows what SHE wanted. Pic 3 is the drawer detail and pic 4 is in place. The woods I used were hard...

Here is ours. She is a shih-szu (Muffy) but we think there is a little pekinese in her. She loves to lay in saw dust and chew on a piece of scap wood, prefers raw pine. She does not mind the saws but...

Thanks Dan & Keth for the info. Also searched and found a half dozen places to check out. Now we will have to leave very early tomorrow so I can visit them all before my sisters arrive. Thanks...

Wish I had a good neighbor like that, you lucky dog.
Great itty bitty. I play (use) my Harbor Freight one all the time.
Maybe sometime I'll get a good one.

Ted.. Thanks for reminding me you don't have to be parallel
to the table edge. Use to lining up the ribs on that old Craftsman
router table with the bit.

Bruce.. My dust port size is 2 1/4". If...

This is my latest purchase for my small shop. It is a ProMax cast iron router table extention by Bench Dog. I use my over the blade guard vac line on this to save setup time. The fence seems to take...

My wife and I will be in Louisville the weekend of April 16th to meet my
sisters from Ohio. I would like to vist any woodworking stores or places
to buy hardwoods in that area while they mall...

Thanks for the reply Larry and Aaron! I did try Titebond but it
seem not to hold very good, may needed to set over night. Since
the foam is rough I believe liquid nails the ticket. Thanks!

I need to glue two pieces of 1/2" thick styrofoam boards
together. Anyone know what type of glue to use? This is
a project for my grandson's Jr. prom to cut out a gandola
bow and stearn, since...

Ken , I have had one for few months now. It is a little tricky
to set up the drive belt tracking. Much like a floor model belt
sander. The height setting is very critical when sanding because
it...

Thanks to you fellows, Bill, Steve and Glenn for additional sites on plans. Since I will retire monday Feb 28th I will need some new ideas on projects. I too, like Bill, work from my own plans but...

OK. When you get the required info let me know. I am originally from Ohio and I have quite a long family tree. He may be in that same tree way down the road somewhere.

Jim- The weight diff is about 20 lbs. on sander side.

Ted- It rotates very easy, again you are holding only 20 lbs. as you rotate it.

Jim,

Sorry to confuse you but pic 3 was shown without drum sander because it was not recieved at time of photo. They both swivel as shown in pic 4.

Well as promised herein are some pics of the swivel-topped roll-a-round tool cabinet I just finished. I modified Wood Magazine's plan by:

1. Lowering height to match table saw...

Dick it is good to hear it was not worse. The healing will take some time at that location. As with others I speak from experience. Mine was cutting off my middle finger and to the bone on my index...

Thanks Jim B, Brian, Keith & Jim D for all the valuable info.
I plan to note the weight diff between the two. I"ll post

Thanks again!...
