You mention the bandsaw is new. Are you new to seting up a bandsaw? Do you know the routine? back off all guides, install blade, Tension blade , check tracking on wheels, adjust guides to blade. Also...

Are both of your thrust bearings set correctly? The bottom one could be pushing the blade too far forward. They should just lightly touch the back of the blade when the blade is free running. They...

I have a Delta 746 table saw. It has a 1.75 HP motor on it. Delta claims that is the largest HP induction motor that will run on a normal 110 circuit.

"4.Easy blade changes – I’m tired of fighting with the tension that won’t fully release on my current bandsaw and the blades that won’t easily slip on and off, tension that is difficult and time...

As the blade gets dull it pushes on the wood harder when you make a cut. If you have hard wood and dull blades It makes the fence creep more likely.
One possibility no one mentioned is the problem...

I usually leave 1/16" between the false fronts. It is common to leave the space between the drawer boxes greater. I like to leave inch to an inch and a half between them. If they are too close and...

Dowels could line everything up, but can be a little fussy to align. The drill bit might want to wander in plywood so a good doweling jig would be in order. I would probably use biscuits for the face...

Since no one else has come up with an answer yet, I'll give you an educated guess. Traditional carving has frequently been done in green wood. Green wood does cut more easily than dry wood. Basswood...

[. I still have them along with a few neckerchief slides I carved from Boys Life magazine.
Does anyone know how to post photos? When I click on the yellow insert image logo at the top it asks for...

The spiral inserts are carbide so they don't need sharpening or replacing as often. If you get tear out with the jointer you need to sand or plane it out if it is on a surface that shows. There is...

Treated lumber isn't usually dry, when it shrinks the heels of the miter open up and look like sh*t. I'm glad you brought that up. I'm so used to miter joints, that didn't come to mind.

I'm glad that it worked out for you!

That is the angle of the outside corners the miter angle is half that.
cut miters at 45 deg and the result is a 90 deg corner. The angles you posted will work for lap joints. I guess it is a matter...

6 sides in a polygon, sum of angles in a polygon = 360 deg.
360 divide by 6 = 60 deg Miter angle is 1/2 of the angle. 60 deg divide by 2 = 30 deg
Here is a link to the lazy way wood working...

Best bench accessory ever! Love my shop, love my coffee. I have to try to make one.

I have been in construction all my working years. I've been in the Carpenters Union (local 212 Cleveland) for over 35 years. I'm retired and I'm glad I don't have to try to find work. Most of the...

I think the toilet rings have a lot of bees wax in them. I've used them for years. Wax may not be the answer though. If your pilot holes are not drilled right, or you are over torquing the screws...

I see you ordered one. I have one and let a friend use it now he has bought one also. I have sprayed shellac, lacquer, and water based finishes through it. I even thinned down some exterior acrylic...

I hope to be able to do work close to that good one day.
Tom

Make sure she is available. For a good time call ???

That is a pretty nice trail run! Be aware that the Bois d'Arc (Osage Orange) will not stay yellow. It will end up a deep chocolate brown after being in the light. Maybe yellow heart or some other...

I have a 40 some year old Rockwell 6" jointer. I hated changing and adjusting the knives. I installed a Byrd head with new bearings and have been happy ever since.

I love your project. Please post more pictures as your work progresses. I would like to do something like that in marquetry. I live near Cleveland, Ohio some of our old buildings were built in The...

David explained the process better than I and he posted his answer while I was typing.

If you twist the studs sideways and the pull you will take less drywall with the stud. Of course there will be holes where the screws or nails were. As mentioned in a previous answer you will have...
