Very nice work!
I think acclimation and planning is key. Let things stabilize with plenty of room for any movement that will occur and you'll be good. I have a 9 foot long Roubo that weighs well over 400lbs made...
I think you'll be happy with your material as long as you are picky and patient. Get the best stuff you can even if it takes several trips. It probably won't, though... I got everything I needed in...
Todd,
I tackled what you are embarking on when I built my Roubo. I opted for digging through the 2x12 piles at Home Depot until I found the best boards I could in terms of grain, regardless of...
That flooring looks really nice. There's something to be said for a workspace that looks and feels comfortable.
I work for an Electric Utility co-op and we don't do any digging or duct installation. It is largely due to our size (210,000 members) and the fact that we are in a rapidly growing area, but it is...
Good work Wes! The continuing grain is a really nice treat wrapped around the dovetails.
I did mine with circular saw/hand saw/hand plane method.
I'd say you are right. I don't even have anything particular in mind. Just thinking about options for potential problems.
I'm referring to using the dado blade as a flattening option, not so much for cutting dadoes in this instance. I agree, the sled would have to be large and that may be a deal breaker. I've done the...
Anyone ever tried it? I assume the trick would be securing the workpiece to the sled but I'm picturing two runners and a bed that runs over the blade. Slide the fence and raise the blade as needed. ...
Prashun, this is an absolutely stunning piece. Very well done, indeed. I am truly a fan of yours. Keep it coming, please and thank you.
Daniel…food for thought, you mentioned building a bench. This can certainly be tackled with planes only, which is what I did, but it is A LOT of work. I would have gladly made use of power for...
I like it…anything that spares expensive stones is good…provided it leaves a great surface on the wood.
i have a Trend plate and have been happy with it. I chose it simply as a means to support my local woodcraft store. Sure, not the least expensive option but I was willing to pay a bit more to support...
Looks really good, Joe.
For what its worth, I am a Lineman and work with electromagnetic fields everyday. Healthy as a horse.
Though, they aren't they most attractive land feature you could own.
Also a fan of Tommy's old podcasts. I appreciate his humility.
My smoother is a WoodRiver V3 #5. Works like a charm.
I would definitely flatten the backs. Even the best chisels you can buy are likely to need a little attention on the backs. And to sharpen the bevels without flattening the backs, the chisel might...
I think for the hobbyist, you can budget your money to feed your woodworking habit and whatever that amount covers (when coupled with your patience) is what you can justify spending on your bench. I...
Good stuff Winton. I'm leaning towards getting the 6k Shapton GS. That said, last night, while working on a chisel back that was way out of whack, I experienced some of what David was talking about....
Thank you, David. Helpful as always
Well the set was a preselected gift. I didn't choose the grits but I am grateful and will use them and learn. My assumption was that I would move on to the Shapton 8k for uniformity but for the...
