I can put in another good word for the Woodmaster units, tried and true design and Made in the USA.

Thanks for the input, will unfortunately have to use square corners as metal frame already in place uses those but I will use a router jig with the smallest radius possible so chiseling is a bare...

Hello all, I always find great help here so wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on a new project.

We are doing a bunch of wood veneer window sills and other items for a restaurant.

Jim makes reference to a sliding table that can mount to a existing slider table (locking into the slider's miter slot so to speak) to increase depth of cut. Any links to this table or a home made...

I'm going to guess an old gear driven multi-knife planer/moulder?

What PSI are you all running your 18 gauge guns at?

Thanks for the input , on the contractors saw and Shopsmith runout and fence alignment are not an issue (jobsite saws are what they are ). With the stock feeder I get no saw marks with poplar , it is...

I just wasted an hour on the gentleman's website, wow. What great ingenuity, the slot mortiser was fantastic.

I use my block plane all the time in the field as a carpenter and in the shop on all kinds of non-wood materials. I've used it on Corian counters, MDF, and constantly on plywood. It is great for...

Great pics Alan.


Sean - Great post and beam project, the look of that is fantastic.

Not to start an argument but Stephen's comment is just crazy.
