HI Jerry,
The absolute minimum length board you can plane is the space between the infeed roller and outfeed roller and should be longer for safety.. Anything shorter and it is possible for it to...

HI Jerry,

I am beginning to design and build a single pedestal kitchen table vaguely in the Maloof style. It will be out of mahogany.
NOTE: The table will be have a round top.
Maloof does all his stuff...
Another option would be to use waterbased lacquer. I use the Target Coatings brand and have been happy with that (although there are other brands out there). WB are a little more fussy than solvent...
I had a lower jaw that jammed against the upper head and wouldn't release for anything. Contacted Joan at ACC and they had a new head to me within days. Great company which will definitely get my...
FWW had a few plans in its July issue.
Ken,
what I want to know is how to become as big a kahuna as you so that companies will send me products to evaluate!

I am now at the point where I HAVE to have my two sets of jointer/planer knives resharpened. I've got a Robland XSD 310 12" jointer/planer combo. I only need to put fresh blades on once a year (not...
They are equivalent. Accept the Besseys with no hesitation. That is might nice of Amazon to make that swap.
Ok, as one grows older one should, in theory, try to be a least a little wiser. This will be one of those learning experiences for me.
A few weeks ago some friends told me they were having a...
Gord,
There are one or two mission style furniture books out there that give some hints about upholstery for the sofa and chair. Mission furniture is easier to upholster since the cushions are...
Thanks for the review Kirk. I serisouly considered that sliding table, but opted for another since my TS has to remain on a mobile base.
I recently was given a pretty good size piece of leather (1.5-2 square yards) that I would like to use for upholstering a rocking chair that I am in the process of building. The leather is fairly...
I've got a PC 5" ROS and a Rotex. I'm still keeping the PC around for when someone wants to borrow it, but the Rotex is the only sander I use now. It is a great machine and well worth the price...
Hi Dale,
I would wait on rushing out to upgrade the free 1hp you just received. I would upgrade the conduit and tubing that you connect to your tools to your machine with. By upgrading to 6"...
Hey John,
Go ahead and use the ash. It will dirty up a bit since it is open grain, but a real workbench is worth it. While most people build benches out of maple, some of the fancy european...
Nice to have you back again Scott
If you like veneering then that is a good price ($1.60 sf), but are you sure is is 1/8" thick? If it is solid stock then you have bentwood lamination stock rather than veneer. Veneer is more like...
I've got a friend who is going to have to remove a fairly good sized pepperwood/ California Laurel from their yard because it died about a year ago. It is mine if I want it and they will even have...
Dave,
I bought Festool's Rotex sander and am extremely happy with it. Being able to convert between a rotary sander, polisher, and random orbit sander is wonderful. The machine is quiet and the...
Todd,
I toyed with the spiral cutterhead idea two years ago when I bought my 12"(and you really do need a 12"). I ended up with a Robland 12" Jointer Planer. My research indicated that the...
I have the Turbo II (about 4 years now) and love it. Don't get the mini because you will really want the auto start feature. If the Turbo III will work with shop vac adapters then I would go with...
I was thinking of using wenge 0.25" wide, 1/8" thick.
I have been wrestling with this dilema as well. I would like to add something to the table to give it a little more style than just an all...
I'm building a large round walnut dining room table. I am thinking that an inlay about 3" from the outer table edge would look nice.
Since this is a solid wood table, it will, of course, move....
I know there are some places in the Central Valley, but haven't heard of anything around Fresno. I think a movie is more likely.
