Thanks guys! Looks like I have $100 worth of white oak I can't use for a year and my wife wants the screen done like...yesterday! Lesson learned. What is the likelihood of wood purchased at a...
I'm building a screen door for a Galveston beach house and decided to use white oak. Found some at a local sawmill - 4/4 S2S. It looked straight at the mill, but after sitting on my workbench in...
Ditto what Matt said. I throw away 3 or 4 burs every day.
I have had the 26' LG ladder for about 20 years. Incredibly stable once you get it in place, but it is an absolute beast to move, especially as I am getting older. A lot of things were easier 20...
Nice clean looking table!! Good job!
Thanks for the Woodfinder link. Looks very helpful!!
Thanks Dave. That's pretty slick!
Do either of you have a photo of that jig?
Joe, I believe the maximum tabletop width for the Jessem fence is 32". It attaches via the brackets which are screwed to the underside of the tabletop.
Yep, I have already found that out!
Greg, I thought of making the insert a circle for the same reason, but I don't have a circle-cutting jig, and figured I'd just rotate the table to reposition the insert.
Jeff, the handle just...
Several months ago, I was one of the many who read all the "buy vs build" threads. Almost bought the pre-fabricated table from Canada, but then considered how much money I would save by building my...
Thanks for posting those photos, Dave! That is a slick setup. If I can't figure out a way to modify mine, I'll just keep it for a "show-fence" and make another one like yours. BTW, that is an...
Thanks for the comments guys.
Dave, guess I may have to alter that fence to add chip collection! Anybody got photos of the best way to do that?
I've been wanting a drill press table for a long time, but never got around to it until this week. It's 3/4" phenolic with 1/2" mdf glued and screwed to the underside. Still need to make a stop...
I would not want to arm-wrestle the guy! Thanks for posting!
David, don't worry. You didn't miss anything. The show was cancelled!
Prashun, that is my plan exactly. For the moment, I'm just looking forward to something besides wrestling with my Hitachi M12V above the workbench. I look forward to the dust collection as well.
Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. I am a relatively new woodworker, and in the near future 95% of what I do will be edge treatments. Built the router cabinet because I am tired of freehand...
I have finally finished building a new router cabinet and it is sitting in my shop with an empty mounting plate hole begging to be used. I had planned to go to the Houston Woodworking Show next...
Hopefully Wynn will be at the Houston Woodworking Show next weekend. I will check it out.
Well, I took the lower bag off tonight and emptied it. Used the shop vac to clean out the inner surface of the upper bag, put it back together and turned it on. Air leak where the nut/screw tighten...
The bag is whatever came standard with the unit. I don't know about the filter. Think I will take it apart tomorrow and check it out, then put it back together. It has not had much use for the...
I have been doing a lot more woodworking lately than ever before (a good thing, right?) My dust collector is located in a closet adjacent to the shop, and I have never noticed this much sawdust...
