I have to do mitered waterfall leg details on some 2 1/4" thick butcher block tops. The short pieces (less than 48' long) I can do on a sled on my table saw I suppose (old Powermatic 66) though not...
When we were making a lot of doors out of all solid stock we would often use 3 5/8' dowels, probably 5" overall length. Then after the door was all clamped up but still in clamps we would use our...
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...

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?
I've been getting poor performance from a Porter Cable 18 gauge on one of the tiny 100 psi max 1/3hp Harbor Freight compressors. Trying to...
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 do these kind of frames all the time, here are a couple ideas to try out.

I'm glad I stumbled onto this thread. I've been spending an excessive amount of time seaching for the perfect skil saw recently, you'd think I was buying a house or something. I'm considering the...

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.
