I laughed really hard when I read this... A few weeks ago I bent my good 1/2" Suffolk blade roughing out a bowl. It had only been used twice... luckily I got a couple of boards resawn before I did...

Tom,

Don't forget to use the yellow pages and Internet to search for a local sawyer as well. When I had to cut up a 26' oak log last spring I called Woodmizer and they gave me a few phone #'s....

Just wanted to share this with those that are newer and interested in motors and wiring the control circuits. If you already know what a motor starter and other control devices are and how they work...

I was in the same boat a few months ago... haven't built mine yet but I got the decisions done on how I was going to build them. I decided to use clear Doug Fir for the treads and dye them a darker...

Hello everyone. I took it on myself to find out more information about the Saw Stop devices in response to an inquiry from a poster here. It turns out the information is indeed public.

The Saw...

Hi Mike. Your correction intrigued me, so even though I said I woudn't reply any more, I went in search of some information to see what the facts really are. Looking at the patent applications (I...

Bill - I'm sorry you took that personally, as it was not meant that way. I respect your thoughts and don't think you are delusional at all, nor paranoid. And I sure didn't say everyone who disagrees...

This must be a first for me :) I've read all the responses... I must say it is kind of odd to be the only dissenter.

Mr Bill Grumbine: Well written words, although I am one of these "woodworkers...

I hope everyone takes this post as worth what you paid for it.

I agree with their petition. I think they are right on track and will support them 100%. So what if trunnions need redesigned?...

I think my brother in law has the same Husqy saw. How long did it take to rip a log on quarters? I can only imagine how it felt. Your arms must be huge. I don't think I could do that...

I'm...

Well, after lots of hem-hawing and no out of town sawmill paying my uncle for his oak tree, he's given me the OK to come get it. It is 26' long x over 4' diameter and straight as an arrow. Not many...

Dr. Bob, I probably can't answer your question to your liking since I would just pitch the wheel and write it off as lesson learned. I've been in that situation a few too many times locally with...

I saw the No Hub connector on an episode of Ask This Old House a few weeks ago. I didn't know what it was at the time, but now that you describe it I know exactly what you're talking about and saw...

Hi Angelo,

I just made my first hollowing tool last weekend but I haven't got a chance to use it yet. My handle is about 1/3 the size of yours and made of walnut! Wondering if I will have a lot...

You make a good point there, the pump that is being so noisy is the one our utility sink (and washer) drains into. I'm sure it's seen it's share of junk, I can think of more than a few nasty things...

Hi Ed,

I'm not a real experienced turner by any means but I was feeling the same frustration you were a few months ago. I bought the Sorby sanding tool (unpowered) and it seems to really cut down...

Wow Kevin, thanks for the great response! I have a bunch of home improvement books but none of them cover replacing a sump pump. Is it pretty easy to swap pumps? I would really like to do that....

I have two sump pumps in my basement, one on the front wall and one at the back corner. These came with the house and are both ~15 years old. The one in the front runs constantly whenever there is...

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post a big thanks to Bill Grumbine for his post on the Pond a few months ago on how to make hollowing tools cheaply. I've been wanting to make my own tool from his plans...

Hi Dr Zack,

I put a "floor" of smooth 3/4" MDF under the sheet goods part of my rack. I used 1x sleepers underneath on 24" centers for support and to raise it up just a tad. It's worked great, no...

Guys, the Messenger service is a so-called "core" component of Windows networking, and if you get a pop-up with that label, then the Messenger service is running on YOUR PC. Anyone can send a message...

...you have enough disk space for all your clip art :) Seriously, nice looking shop. Must feel good not having to wear a tie any more.

Those boxes look awesome! Great form! About how long do you think it would take a beginner to do one, start to finish minus the flocking?

Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Dan,

I think all three of the plan and kit options make a lot of sense. You will hit all of the DIY skill levels offering those. Offering complete machines... well, that's a totally different...

Terry, I was going to post another "can't believe you use that!" before I read through the whole thread. You'd never guess the top layer was just 1/4" oak ply unless you said it first. That must go a...
