I got a reasonable deal on some 8/4 cherry and will use it for a new storm door. It's dry and straight. Is it worth my while to resaw it in half length wise, flip one half, and re-glue the halves...
I would suggest using a backed veneer. A 10 mil paper back will be fairly flexible and fit curves, however, if your curves aren't that much then a 20 mil backing is also available. Make sure the...
Metal junction box, right? Yes, the ground wire needs to make a good mechanical connection with the box. Easiest way is to put a screw in the back of the junction box and wrap a loop of wire around...
I think the challenge with this is going to be holding the piece while working on it. Even on a shooting board with a plane the workpiece needs to be held fairly solidly and reliably.
My first...
It's thin, it's rift sawn, you might get lucky and not get much movement. You want to put it on plywood though and you know that plywood and the applied piecd will not move the same.
I'd be very...
There's a whole lot of information and research and knowledge "out there" when it comes to different types of lubricants. Far more than I'm capable of discussing. In general: Any kind of lubricant is...
Not familiar with the TECK name or ratings, but based on what armored cable is available in the states, yes, it can be put in PVC. In fact in your application I would definitely put it in PVC. Is...
If all you need to cut is some small trees on a rare basis, why not go back with the electric chain saw? I've had a Milwaukee electric with 16" bar for a lot of years already and would recommend it...
Rodney, sounds like you've got a bit of electrical load already in that subpanel and you're looking to add more. Probably time to do the actual load calculations and measurements.
You don't...
Jim, how about mounting cleats to the top of the roll around cabinet beside the saw base and then using a heavy duty drawer slide to get the movement you're looking for?
If I understand what...
Steve, try highhorseranch.net for a picture of something a little better, or look at the Kirg Ranch saddle shop website. They've got some really nice wooden stands. When you search on google try...
Jeremy, I think the suggestion of make a template and cut with a router will be the fastest way to get a bunch of these holes cut. I would like to say something about the original circle cutter you...
Keith, good luck with your end table. I really like the way orange shellac brings out the look and color of walnut. I've used a lot of other types of finishes with it such as oil or water based...
Tom, I would drill a hole through the "dowel" at the bottom of the wedge and lined up with the wedge. That would help keep the "dowel" from splitting from driving the wedge. Can't help you much with...
Sheldon, you're kind of limited on a saw to cut with there. I would start by making a long piece of stock 1 inch square, make sure it's square and exact. In my shop I'm thinking that would happen at...
Ray, I'm with Maurice, go to Cian's website, I can spend days in there. Highland Hardware sells some replacement knobs and totes. And then I discovered that Hock blades really do make a difference....
Jim, I'd agree with the rest of them, glue it up. The "Loctite" brand adhesive which seems to get a lot of TV advertising has worked for us as advertised. Great stuff. We've had exterior trim glued...
Jr, in your first picture I still don't understand the dowel box. Is that a stop mounted in the end away from the cutter? Thank you.
Doylw, if you can find it used in good shape....... why not?
I doubt you're going to find cheap wire today. Scrap price for copper around here is $2.80 a pound. That's the highest it's ever been....
Lee, in an old clock case I would expect to see glue blocks holding that joint. Don't think I've seen a clock case of that design with finger joints or dovetails or some such joint, they almost...
Mike, try looking in Fine Woodworking issue number 122. I think you can go to their website and download plans like that for a membership fee. Good luck.
Larry, how about a piece of copper pipe of the correct diameter, cut to length, chucked in the drill press. Use valve grinding compound and it should make perfect holes without shattering or cracking...
Brian, sorry you had trouble at the APA site, it seems to work fine from this corner of the world. At the site you want to go to publications about plywood, then select the free downloadable .pdf...
The site that Ray brought to our attention has very good information. If you search on the site for their publications there's one for plywood design specifications. It's available for free download....
