Yeah, me too. I have the Tormek, and the jointer blade jig. It does a very good job. I've even done 15"planer blades, even though the jig isn't really designed for blades that long. As long as...
You're about 2½ weeks ahead of us. Mida and I will celebrate 41 years on the 18th.
It's been an interesting trip. A few rough spots during the Marine Corps years when I was gone a lot, but...
How about soaking the veneers in warm - or HOT! - water for fifteen or twenty minutes prior to trying to wrap it around your mold? You can add a few drops of liquid dish soap to the water to help...
Okay, I stand corrected on the Wixey not being a totally plastic case. However, I did not mean the reference to plastic as a 'slam' on the Wixey. There's really nothing wromg with having a plastic...
I like mine. I've had it for a couple months, and have found it to be very accurate,
I also have the Wixey. It's also very accurate - just as accurate as the Beall, in fact.
The Beall has a...
The rubber tires on my 14" bandsaw are the originals. They've been on there since 1981, and show no signs of needing replacement.
Can't speak for the poly tires. I've never (yet) needed to use...
I'd rather just be able to choose which forums are listed when I click on "New Posts." I have absolutely no interest in reading the Laser forum, the EZ forum, Penn's Wood forum, or the Bow Clamp...
I just bought a quart of that stuff a few weeks ago, and used it for the first time on a set of cabinets I'm building for my sister. The black light - I use a little 4" tube hand-held - really works...
Ed,
Most of the dedicated mortisers - the small ones, at least - run at about 1750 rpm, and they work pretty well at that speed. So, run your drill at or just below that speed and you'll be okay.

Ditto on Gary's recommendation for stainless staples. Otherwise, you'll have black streaks running down from every fastener in a few months.
Are you going to paint this fence? If so, it's a lot...
What I meant was that the original bent circle might well warp and require quite a bit of flattening before finishing. Once it's completely dried from the steaming, and is sealed and finished, it...
Tim,
I don't know how 'interactive' they are, but you might try Noah's Lost Ark, in Berlin Center. They'd be about 60 miles or so from you.

I suspect he came to America because he's no longer 'in his prime' for playing with the big boys in UK & Europe. He's been around for a long time over there, and there are a lot of up and coming...
I've never tried to bend spruce, but since it is/was used a lot in boat building, I'll assume it's fairly bendable. Air dried, or (better yet) green wood will bend better than kiln dried stuff.

It's easy to do if the new motor has the same mount, and the same shaft diameter as the original. Oh yeah, and is of the same speed, too.
Why do you need to change to a bigger motor, though? Are...
I think she might be Lee Shierer's grand-daughter, but I'm not really sure.
Bob,
It's an annual get-together that Bill holds at his shop. This is the sixth or seventh year for it, I think.

I'm heading to Kutztown, PA to attend Bill Grumbine's annual "Five Barns" get-together. Really looking forward to it. More later...
Be careful about that foam brush. Some of them disintegrate pretty quickly with shellac, and leave little black globs of dissolved foam on your project.
My preference is a synthetic bristled...
Yeah, that's my feeling, too. If they'd make it big enough to handle up to a 2-5/8" plane iron - like a #8's - then I'd consider it. If they'd just modify it up to 2-3/8, then it's at least handle...
I haven't seen that stuff in years!
When I was a kid, Ichthammol ointment was my mother's favorite remedy. any splinter, scrape, pimple, boil, or whatever god slathered with the stuff. It was...
I've had the Shop Fox 3 hp for about five years now, and can't say enough good things about it. It's been absolutely 'bulletproof.'
Fit and finish are great.
Table has less than 0.002"...
Are you sure it says "Victory", or does it say "VICTOR?"
If it indeed says VICTOR, then it's a relatively rare plane.
Made between 1875 and 1888, earlier models have a screw-tightened lever...
