Thanks to all for your responses so far.

I am using Insta bond products from Craft Supplies USA. Most of the time it comes out good, but every once in a while I get a goober from the spray. Also...

I am using a CA glue finish on my pens with an activator spray. I was looking to improve my technique and saw a video where they suggested not to use activator. Any opinions? Also, if you don't use...

I found Mike's tutorial very helpful in making cauls. They work great!

Boiled linseed oil. Borg carries it

Thanks again for all the ideas. I'm leaning toward the half lap miters. I made myself a nice miter sled for my table saw last night. Gonna do a few test runs over the weekend.

That"s a great idea. But I can't swing it. It's a shame though, because I want to get one for chairs I would like to make down the road.

Please excuse my ignorance, but isn't a domino a thick...

It's clear that reinforcement is needed. I liked adding a spline idea, until I read half lap miter. That may be the way I go, I'll have to do some test cuts. Thanks for the ideas

I am matching 3 cabinet doors to an existing kitchen. The stiles and rails are mitered. I have a mini biscuit joiner that I would use to strengthen the joint, but it just broke on me. The question...

Van, I think you hit the nail on the head. I don't see myself being a big time turner. I bought a mini lathe after a wood show when my 9 yr old son made a pen. I like that he is into it, but it's not...

Thanks to all, it really helps. Not knowing what you sre getting into can be confusing, lol. I did search the threads about sharpening , but I somehow missed the Rikon thread. I'm going to pick up...

I assume this is in addition to dressing? Is truing and balancing a task I can do myself?

Based in what I want to do, these where the lower cost options that I found. Please elaborate om what you mean. Would they not both serve the same purpose?

Got the Rockler flyer last night and saw this

I am looking to match up a cabinet door with a unique inner molding. I remember a while back I used to get a catalogue that had pages and pages of different profiles. I cant remember the vendor and a...

I agree to always joint or plane a little off each side equally , and I stand boards in edge overnight to get maximim exposure. However, it doesn't sound like this would have helped you anyway. Sorry...

Anyone have one of these?

I am looking to enter the track saw market on the less expensive end. The only review on the website...

I had a similar problem with a ridgid planer. I tried many different things, but sharp bladed were the answer for me. Wish i had changed the blades first.

I haven't bought a brand new car in decades, but..... Somebody's gonna check out the Chrysler dealer tomorrow.

I started with pine due to cost. It really hurts when you cut a $20 piece of Cherry incorrectly, lol. The problem with pine is if you go really cheap, the wood will move literally overnight, and you...

There is hardly any 8" jointers in the Tampa / Orlando area, ever! Has anyone had success with the apps that notify you when your search pops up on Craigslist? There are a lot of them to choose...

I'll agree on the fence. Its not my old bies, but its serviceable. I've had G0771 for over a year and I'm very satisfied. My old setup was a contractor saw on a custom rolling table with a biesmeyer...

Welcome to the creek Chris! Lots of great information here. I think if you are planning to get a table saw anytime soon, I would pass in the slider. Making a cross cut sled for your table saw is a...

I installed it and it held up through a few test runs. Hopefully it stands the test of time

That was quick! 20 bux to weld it. He said it was cast iron, so it may not hold. Hope it works

Thanks for the advice, off to the machine shop I go.
