Count me in. Thanks.
Brian, I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud, but why bother? It looks like wood to me.
Unless the void is large or deep enough to cause stability problems, I'd leave it. It's a nice reminder...
As Robert, Pedro, and others have intimated, "straight" only exists in theory. Much like (perfect) circles don't exist outside an equation, (perfect) straightness only exists as a vector between two...
In general I want to upload my photos once and use them in multiple places.
So I use Flickr. Flickr allows you to upload photos and embed them easily in various places (just click "share this"...
Yeah, I messed up the first 1/2 revolution of the first spindle thread (I have the same lathe as you) by not backing the grub screw out enough when removing the chuck. Had to break out the dremel and...
Sorry for the detour above.
Let me echo Sam. I think it's a good idea too.
Ken,
I can't, of course, govern your expectations, but in your use of the term "cheap shot" I think you took offense where none was intended. My post had nothing to do with mods as people (so...
I've tried organizing a local SMC get-together before and my thread got moved to the off-topic forum. I think local chapters are a great idea but clearly you'll have to work something out with the...
The Supernova 2 does have the screw. Whether it's still around is the real question :).
I'm sure you can purchase one independent of the chuck, though, in the event that it has been misplaced.
One other thing to consider, Charles: you should get a Festool vac with whichever saw you end up purchasing. There are a couple of reasons for this:
-It's amazing to use a saw/vacuum combination...
Thomas,
Until I got into turning, I had no idea how much free wood I was passing by on a daily basis. City crews and utility companies and of course, arborists, are almost always working on the...
You'll be much better off with a traditional workbench if your goal is to hold boards for handtools. There's really only two reasons for this: mass and workholding.
I like the MFT a lot and if my...
If you can spare the time to make one with good materials, that's the best option. If you can spare the time to make one with cheap materials, that's the next best option. If you can't spare the...
I've got an Incra system and have had it for four years. It's a TS-LS 32, and I have the router installed in a tablesaw extension cabinet.
For the tablesaw, I love it. And I like it too on the...
For kicks, I ordered one for Thanksgiving a few years ago. And it was really, really good. Really good. Did I say really good?
You can order them in different sizes. I fed 11 with the one I...
Chris,
That looks great. My son is really into any kind of machinery. He's 3-1/2 and loves to talk about hydraulics and combustion engines. Go figure.
Anyway, from what book did you draw...
What David said. I understand that you'll probably be edge jointing 8/4 stock to make a body, but unless you're making a guitar with only right angled edges, I don't see how an accurate tablesaw is...
Wow. Don't show this to any turners. They'd go gaga for a chunk of a log like that.
Looks great, Mark. I love modern pieces.
I'm working on a bed right now for which I want to have thicker pieces which aren't as thick as they look (or the headboard would weigh a ton). Could you...
Not that I could do a set myself without it looking like a hound's mouth minus several teeth, but isn't that a set normal through dovetails with two baselines?
It's a nice whirring sound, isn't it?
I have 5" flex hose off a 6" main duct so I just used a band clamp around the outlet.
Where did you have yours shipped from, Doug? Did you order it from...
Congrats, Doug! There are quite a few of these in SMC stables now.
I don't know what kind of DC you have, but in some cases DCs with lots and lots of pull can make the thing scream pretty loudly....
I don't know if your shop is a garage with a cement floor, but I usually find running a strong fan or a blower for a few moments gets a lot of dust out of the corners and out from under things. In...
In the end, the reason these pieces of equipment exist in most shops are because each one of them is optimized to do a task or set of tasks in woodworking. You can get rid of one or more of them, but...
If it's giving you that message, there's a good chance that it is, in fact, not getting enough power.
I got that message once and through troubleshooting found out two things I was doing wrong:
