Glad you found it Roger. I found sources in France and Germany so yours is surely more convenient.

I also found a link to an interesting 1992 Popular Mechanics article on belt sanders.

John, did you find a source for the belt?

This would be a good application for the Rockwell BladeRunner.

After drilling holes...

I use a Festool track saw and this blade. The kerf is the same as a fine jigsaw blade so it almost automatically guides the jigsaw to complete the corners. In fact, the kerf is so narrow that if you...

also, so, it would have to be bent beyond the finished curve to account for spring-back.

Get a Festool Midi vac instead of the CT26. You'll save money and space and the Midi is much more portable.

Larry, I've never seen a sanding frame (or shoe) for a PC belt sander. Do you have any more information?

IMO a belt sander is a half baked idea if it doesn't have a frame to keep the belt parallel...

Simple, turn it back over and be done.

Don't know which flashlight you have but the LED version is awesome.

I agree, a cordless saw is very handy, but the HackZall does all the above just as accurately as the jigsaw, costs less, and takes up less space.

There are techniques for everything. The minimum technique required to accomplish something is determined by your skill and experience. Your ability to anticipate and solve problems before they...

Is the high spot on the side you put on the floor when gluing or is it the part that was under the books?
if it is the part under the books, was there an equivalent high spot in the "stuffing"...

I too have a bunch of M12 stuff and generally like it.

I have the M12 jigsaw and I don't recommend it. It does not have an orbital cutting setting.
More importantly the shaft that holds the...

You could also just use biscuits or Dominos or even small dowels.

How did you rip those strips without a table saw?

People get too hung up on the neat looking grid inside a torsion box. As you noted the grid's prime function is to keep the top and bottom skins...

I made a mistake with a 3+" diameter piece and removed the bark.
Even though it had been cut and drying for a few years as soon as the bark came off it started splitting.

The picture is two pics up from the radial arm saw pic.

Tom that stuff looks a lot like the "privet" I cut back from time to time.
The stuff I have is also extremely fine grain but it's prone to...

John and Charlie I do apologize for the harshness of my comments on quality of the photo.
It seems to me that digital photography is so effortless...but I learned photography 40 years ago so my...

Agree. This looks like a cell phone photo. No focus and inadequate lighting.

If you have something worth showing at least take a decent photo. It might actually be something interesting...

It isn't clear what you're trying to achieve.

Read the Wiki article first.

These supplies will help.

Thanks for that Alan. I especially like the way the jig eases offsetting the joint.

Yea, we just don't know what we don't know.

It would have done wonders for my ego to quit school and go on thinking I knew everything.
Instead I kept going and learned how little I knew...

He started to lose me when the layout app on his tablet showed grain direction 90 degrees off from the way he was ripping the ply.

It shouldn't be too difficult to find a place to anchor a grounding wire. I'm very surprised yours is only 2-wire.
The recall notice doesn't say anything about returning the tool. It just says to...

You can use plywood but even high grade plywood can vary in thickness.

Therefore, try to use parts that are the same thickness.
If you crosscut the stock and re-assemble those parts...
