Thanks for the quick responses. I'm pretty sure it's going to need to turn so I'll check out craft supplies to see if I can find it. I'm afraid the friction from the object might be a bit too much if...

Thanks for the quick responses. I'm pretty sure it's going to need to turn so I'll check out craft supplies to see if I can find it. I'm afraid the friction from the object might be a bit too much if...
I'm looking to mount a piece (a large diameter hollow tube basically) on my woodworking lathe between 2 longworth chucks I made. The only problem is I haven't found a way to attach a faceplace or...
I've been trying to keep my tools rust free down here in Atlanta, but it seems to be hopeless battle. I've been using boeshield t9, and it's ok, but it doesn't last very long (usually a 1-3 months)...
I was looking through my grizzly catalog, and I saw that they have their new DP G0753 (http://www.grizzly.com/products/Heavy-Duty-Floor-Drill-Press/G0753). Looks pretty decent, but I wasn't over...
I need a drill press and after reading on the forums for awhile it appears that the Delta 18-900L is the general consensus pick for the high end DP without getting in to the multi-thousand range. So...

Ignore this post. I just realized someone posted an almost identical post a couple days ago so this is redundant

I'm looking to replace my current zip code Craftsman...
Well it took a lot longer for me to get around to than I first thought, but I posted a small video review of my G634XP J/P. The video is a little shaky because I was taping it with one hand and...
I did get it wired up, and man it sounds nice. It has that deep hum of a nicer motor, and it's just rock solid. Did some quick jointing on some scrap 2x4 pine I had laying around just to make sure...
My Grizzly G0634XP came in!!!. I ordered it about 1.5 months ago, and I was not happy about the delays, but I finally have it.:D:D:D
Haven't had much chance to actually use it yet, spent most of...
Well the good news is that it worked after unplugging it for awhile and plugging it back in :D . Ken, it might have been ov instead of ou, the display is a standard LCD 7 segment display so a v and a...
Thanks for all the tips, I might try HD again, I went by lowes today, but I wasn't impressed with plywood. Luckily in Atlanta I've been able to get very reasonable prices for BB, so it's what I...
Not sure what happened, but my 3520a just stopped working today:eek:. Well at least it stopped working sometime between a few weeks ago when I last used it, and today. It won't turn on at all, and...
I normally like to use Baltic birch whenever I need plywood, but I'm making some larger shelve units for my shop and I'll need some plywood in the 4x8 range. Does anyone have any good recommendations...
Didn't think of that, that's a good idea. I do like the syringes because they clean themselves to some extent, but I'll have to stop by the dollar store and see if they have any basters.
Thanks.

A lot of times I only want to remove a little bit of finish from a can, and trying to pour it out is always a mess so I like to use larger syringes to pick up the material and then deposit it in to a...
I tired searching the forum, but wasn't able to get any results, so I'm hoping maybe someone can help me. I made a custom sanding block and it actually came out pretty well, but what I'm trying to...
Just pulled the trigger on a grizzly G0634XP J/P Combo machine. Just placed the order so don't know when I'll get it, but I already can't wait. This will be my first Jointer or Planer, and I'll be...
Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this, couldn't really figure out where a post like this should go.
2nd Note: I posted this on OWWM.org as well, don't normally like to cross post to...
Thanks for the tips. I'm not sure the type of plastic, I think it was acrylic based on how it broke off, but I'm not sure. It was just a pen blank I picked up at Rockler. My tools were pretty sharp,...
I tried turning some plastic pen blanks today, but I got horrible results. A ton of chip out on the plastic almost anyway I tried to cut it. I tried different speeds, but didn't run in to anything...
This was my first time working from a real log and turning it in to something. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, but it was a great learning experience. The wood was pretty rotten and punky,...
One thing I'll say from owning my 18" bandsaw is that they bigger ones don't handle the smaller blades well. You can put a smaller blade on the bigger ones, but I find that it's somewhat impractical....
Thanks for the responses, I ordered these books from Amazon, can't wait to read them.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a technical book on building design. By building design I mean basic 1-2 story building construction using wood framing. I don't want to become an...
I am going to build a little shed over my pool equipment. Partly to protect it from some of the elements, but mostly so I have some extra storage area for the pool chemicals and pools tools. I'm just...
