I bought a quick release Anant Vise several years ago and it would slip when tightened. I tried to make several adjustments to correct it but did not help then recently I saw several posts...

I use my all the time. I turn the sander off and by the time I put it on the sitter there is just about 1/3 of the speed left.
It is not meant for the sander to run on. It does save me some time...

In my experience, the semi gloss has to come off. It wont take much since the last coat is probably thinner than you might think. I would use 220 grit then 320 then finish with 400 before applying...

Take another look at the wood. I dont think oak spalts, only maple and a couple of other woods. Be prepared for the wood to soak up any finish you use like a sponge. I put a spalted piece in the...

Very nice work. I love to see old planes.

great story! I hope you will continue more more more .....!

Not much woodworking but.....
drove a NASCAR - Mark Martin's busch car #60 6 laps around Michigan Intl speedway - what fun!

Just as tod said, it is basically the same as Grizz except you can touch it in a retail store, the color is different and some specs are slightly different. I just bought a Shopfox floor mounted...

A great addition to your collection, John!

Bob,
Thanks again for more information that I never knew or even thought of.
You are truly a great craftsman and I think you deserve the title of
"Professor Smalser" considering your wealth of...

Great job! That is just too cool :cool: !

NASCAR driving school which lets you drive a NASCAR car around the MIchigan speedway next summer.

Dale - a great job and especially the quote.

I just completed 30 x 40 last year and 2 things I'd would do for sure is
run outlets about 14" off the floor on each wall with each run on a 20 amp breaker ( that's 4 breakers ) then run on each...

I'm late but I'm in for $25 via donate button.

Just realize that you generally get what you pay for and if this is what you can afford and it is the beginning for you then that is OK. Have to start somewhere and the prices at Sears when on sale...

Great work. Nice looking chair. That is my project for this winter - as a rocker. Any problems I should be looking for?

THAT IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another beauty, Dick. I always look forward to see what you have turned.

Nice work!

Ken,

I don't personally know you except thru this forum and respect you as a man of integrity from everything you have written.
I am sure you know the power of prayer. I am sure everyone there at...

I use a circle saw over saw horses. A lot cheaper than a huge table top especially since I dont need it that often.

That's a good deal then learn to tune up the plane which is a great way to learn. That is how I got started too.
If I had it to do over I would have started out by buying one already tuned from a...

I think silver maple too. One way a person can tell also is that the roots resurface.

If you ever had to mow around one then you never forget.

That is beautiful ! Great contrast with the woods. Looks like a lot of work.
