Good info. Thanks! I had thought about that - I was morticing through Ash, so not really too soft. I think I will re-hone at 35*.

Thanks, guys. All very good information. I had been using the doweling jig drill method on standard (not through) mortices i've done in the past and that seemed to work out fairly well. This is where...

I have a two-part question I was hoping some of you may be able to help with.

First off, I'm not a true neander - my apologies upfront - I dimension by machine and finish with planes. :)

So,...

I thought one of the advantages to parallelogram beds was when you do adjust up or down, the leading edge of the infeed table remains the same distance from the cutter. A tighter gap would probably...

Bob, I feel the same exact way. I've been slowly adding tools and last year took the bigger plunge and bought a workbench, jointer, planer. I've been slowly collecting other odds/ends over the past 4...

Good info, guys. I've thought about the drill press method - another tool I don't have, but would be oh, so handy...




So it looks like you have the workpiece clamped in the vice and then...

Sounds like making a jig might be the best way to go.

Or, alternatively, use this as an excuse to finally buy a plunge router! :) I was trying to not "invest" any more money in tools if i can...

John: Thank you for taking time to write up some good instructions for me to follow. I'll be sure to reference this once its time to make that cut!

Good luck with the trapezoidal top on the...

My next project is going to be a side/end table of sorts. The last one I built - which was one of my first woodworking projects - had M&T joints and I did them all by hand. This worked out "ok" but...

Jason,

Thanks for the picture. That's similar to what i'd like to do. Is that curved along the bottom of the drawer?

What is the best way to cut that curve? I don't have a bandsaw. Would I...

Thanks for the info. I figured I missed the boat on all the threads about this...:) Ah, well. you'll have this i guess.

I'll have to read through the finewoodworking.com article - i missed...

Thanks for the input, John! So in your trapezoidal area, did you actually build the table in a trapezoid? That's sort of similar to what I have - two leather chairs that sit centered with a large...

I just received the new monthly Woodcraft catalog and noticed that all the LN tools were no longer represented.

I remember being told in Spring of 2009 by the LN VP of Sales that some things...

Thanks, Eric. I like that idea. Do you think a straight, square leg style would be best with that method? Also, I guess M&T the stringers into the legs would be appropriate.




Very nice...

Hi folks -

I'm starting to put together details for my next project: Shaker-style end table.

I guess it technically would be a middle table - its going to reside between two leather chairs in...

Good points...I was thinking inside my own world...larger boards for furniture. Never even thought about the difficulty of planing pieces for a small box or other small parts of a larger project...

Awesome score! Congrats.

So forgive my newbie ignorance - what do you do with the no.2? I'm assuming you use the No.4 and follow up with 2 for an extra smooth finish?

I've been finalizing...

Maybe that's the trick: wider outlet for DC.

I've got other issues going on too, though. I never really put the dial indicator on the table and checked head/table tolerance from side to side. I...

I've noticed a similar thing. I have a Grizzly 15" planer w/ their own brand of spiral cutterhead. I had posted some time ago about my issue as well and was told it was probably dust collection.
...

Some few weeks ago I posted about having an issue with snipe on the outfeed of my 8 inch Grizz. Last night I finally got around to doing an actual investigation.

Turns out I indeed had an outfeed...

Am i the only one that doesn't know what a PCS saw is? I keep scanning through the thread in search of this...I did pick up on SS being a SawStop....

I guess I'm neutral on the SawStop debate,...

Thanks for that information - very good to know! That all being said, I think I will just buy a link belt at some point. I too had a loose pulley. I never checked it to begin with from new, as I...

This was sort of what i was wondering. I didn't want to ask directly because it opens up a whole storm of sharpening threads, which i tend to get tired of. Not that I don't like learning new ways,...

You probably have a point there...I was thinking along the lines that my block plane is used on end grain more than the other planes...if it was insanely sharp, it would perform a little better. I...

Hi guys,

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas and New Year season. I'm off until Monday!

Now that that gloat is over, my question... :)

Has anyone tried the O-1 blades from LN? ...
