    Walnut Sapwood

    I'm sawing up some walnut logs and found that, although there's some nice black heartwood, most of it is white sapwood. The white stuff seems to be of the same consistency as the black walnut. My...

    That's really impressive. Did you use some sort of jig to slide the logs past the blade?

    Milling logs

    I just bought some black walnut - 14 logs, 5 to 7 ft. in length, 12 to 32 in. in diameter. I was wondering if anyone would hazard a guess at roughly how much board feet that adds up to?

    These...

    Thank you. My only reservation about Worksharp is that my jointer plan has a 2 1/2" blade. Can you flatten plane beds on the Worksharp?
  13. Veritas Power Sharpener or Jet JSSG-10?

    Hi there. I'm tired of lapping/sharpening by hand, and I'm looking at both the Veritas and Jet systems. I've read a lot of posts here (great!) on the virtues of both, but before I spend my tax...

    Agreed. I've had mine for two years, and while I don't use the micrometer much, I never worry about accuracy - the tolerance is pretty amazing.

  16. Waddya think of the Veritas scraper plane?

    I've tried to get mine to work. I true and sharpen the scraper blade, give it a very slight bow, but find all it wants to do is take really aggressive cuts with each pass. Also, it leaves pretty...

    Haaaalp! Rust on tools!

    Good morning. God's gift to idiots (me), while rennovating my shop, I left my plywood tool rack lying on the cement floor of the basement at the cottage. Two weeks later, to my shock and horror, I...

    Awesome. That pretty much sums up why I'm going for the General. Sounds like I'll be passing this one on to my kids one day. Thanks John.

    You're right Glen, the MM16 is a better saw. For me, right now it's a coin toss. I think I could get it shipped for a couple hundred. However, I'm a little concerned about some of the after sale...

    Thoughts on the General 690-1?

    I'm thinking of buying the General 690-1 15" (12 3/4" depth of cut, 310 lbs, $2659 CDN) bandsaw and was wondering if anyone had an opinion to share before I crack my piggy bank. Thanks!

    Thanks everyone!

    I'm 99.9% sold on the MM16. Much, much more than I need at the moment, but I know my shop (and skills) will grow into it. Thanks one and all...
