I would consider using CA glue. This stuff is great, if you haven't tried it I would suggest giving it a try. Use it without the accelerator, just apply it to the molding, apply the molding to the...

Wow, thanks for all of the response. Looks like the bottom line is,
* Not a real threat (unless using a 1" or larger blade)
* Always keep your hands as far from the blade as is practical.
* Keep...

So, the other day when I was working on the bandsaw. I got to thinking, what would happen if the blade for some reason should snap? Where would it go? Could I get hurt? So, what does happen? I...

Hey all, Redoing our kitchen and am looking for a good method to accurately scribe an apron front farmhouse sink into a new cherry ply sink base cabinet. It's a Rohl fireclay sink which by nature of...

No manual but maybe there is another way to fix it. Describe the noise you hear. Can you determine the speed of the noise I would think the chain drives the feed roller at a relatively slow rate as...

I think it pretty hard to control a drill bit from wondering in end grain. Do yourself a big favor and get a dowelling jig. It will hold the bit right where you want it. I have used several dowelling...

Jim, that's a great idea. Have you done something like this before? How would I go about doing this and where do you get the paraffin. The piece is not that big but it would take a lot of varnish in...

Thanks Jim,
I thought about leaving it with no finish as you suggested but thought, any drips of water that does get on it will most likely be absorbed and would leave spots after it dries (not so...

Hey all,
For Christmas, I built my wife one of those shelves that span across the tub for setting a book on, glass of wine or what have you. I made it from some left over Mahogany. I am looking for...

Out of curiosity, how many leads are coming out of this motor and how are they labeled X1 X2, 1,2 etc? Some motors have a wiring diagram on the inside of the motor lead cover plate or on the motor...

Well I am no expert but I can offer a few suggestions or things to consider.
I think a very close inspection of all mechanical involved would be 1st on my list.
* Maybe a burr on the arbor assembly...

We bought some used 1990 vintage Drexel Heritage Chippendale style chairs for a dining table I built off of Craigs List. A few of the chairs have a problem with the seat portion, in that they are...

I think you are asking for trouble running a screw through a void like that. Stoped dados would be a better option. If by chance this is an after the fact question, you could cut some splines, glue...

Well, Happy Holidays to all.
On my wish list for Xmas was an Incra Miter 3000E. My wife went to our local Woodcraft store and came home with a combo kit 1000E and Miter Express they did'nt carry the...

One more thing! When I was at the show, I went to the Woodworking Shows booth and and inquired about the lack of attendance. They handed me a letter that explained there are now new owners and they...

Lots of good feedback! Sounds like most have seen a change although some have not. I have gone to the shows for 10 or more years and yes, I have left at times and said "same old thing" but, it was...

I went to the Woodworking Show this weekend in San Mateo Ca. It was a ghost town (as compared to previous years). About 1/2 the vendors as well as customers, I was shocked. I got there at show open...

Yes, it can be frustrating when things are a bit off. Woodworking can be very humbling at times (which it sounds like you hit one of those times). No worries, time and pacients will prevail. I can...

Welcome to the group, your enthusiasm reminds me of me when I got started. Just a few thoughts to pass on.
Saftey: People get hurt doing woodworking, we hear Norm give his safety speal before each...

I am trying to visualize what your results are and it sounds like you are edge jointing a 2x10x3 and ending up with a big crown in edge of the board. If this sounds right , I would lay the board on...

Hey Mike, not to take over the thread but, can you elaborate on the VSD for your jointer? I have not heard of slowing a jointer. How does it work and what applications do you reduce speed?

Well, not sure exactly what is going on, but I'll take a stab at a few idea's. The rotating components obviously are at fault. I would start by pulling the belt off and running the motor only. From...

I bought one years ago, it was an entry level machine I believe it was a model 600 (model only offered for a brief time). Their customer service was very good. I too find this is an under utilized...

I too have that saw, I have never been able to get it to cut straight with any consistently. (I have aligned it over and over) It now sits over at Mom's collecting dust. I must say, your picture...

They don't build'em like that anymore.Nice saw and great job on the clean up too.
