Not familiar with this material but here's an out of the box idea. What happens if you try to hand plane this stuff? If that works maybe you can shear it to the correct thickness (with a very sharp...

So the particular flavor of kickback prevented goes like this; the workpiece gets up off the table a little and is sucked back down which engages more teeth and boom, it's outta there.

I get a small state tax refund each year. Auto deposit in the mad money account.

Really, nobody wants to admit anything?

Nice score. That's an awesome manual. Matched belts are important and should be ordered from a belt supplier, not an auto parts store or big box store. If the existing ones are ok they will last a...

Not a big increase in hp. Will it be enough? If you have to change pulleys and belts you might think about lowering the cutterhead rpm a little, maybe 20% to get more torque.
The more massive...

I still have that little scar from my first jackknife

Fortunately reaching up to touch that pretty red coil on the stove left no scar

However, the screwdrivers I stuck into the wall socket were...

Should be good on an uneven floor

My use involves every kind of ordinary cut except making veneer. I rarely change blades because it's easier and faster to just resaw slowly with a narrow blade. 1/8" blade was just too light, 3/16"...

Timberwolf Silicon Steel 1/4" x 6 PC .025

After a lot of hard use it snapped, while I was not around. It surprises me that it did not break at the weld. Welding involves a lot of metallurgical...

If these are overlay fronts that are also functioning as stops then nothing will succeed.

If inset then use screws from the front. Since they will be exposed make them a feature.

Glue is also...

In my small shop most things are kept in drawers and anything like packaging is turfed out rather than claiming space. Tools like drills share bits etc with other drills and are easily accessed from...

So that's flat sawn with the heart side up. Moisture content is always changing in wood. The top got dried and the bottom may have picked up a little moisture from the plywood it was resting on. I...

Can you build a box around the table with cardboard or foam, double on the top. Put an electric heater under and bake overnight at 150? Might wreck the finish but that's easier to fix than replacing...

You could build a nice table and give it a top of Trex or similar. Not high style but you can still have fun with joinery and it will outlive you.

OP Tom
What will you do with the opening for the stairs? To install a door you should redo the steps and add a landing outside sufficient to stand on while opening the door. Alternatively you could...

You can improve air circulation by using bigger stickers. If the stack is on ground start with concrete blocks. A few hours in the sun can ruin the wood with many surface checks.

Steven's stair is really good for an indoor application but a tree stand will need to be more resilient. Trees move in the wind so the attachments will need to be flexible. The ground is not concrete...

Command + will zoom the font and pics in many apps

So maybe that outlet in your old place was miswired for 220 volts.

Edward's suggestion seems like the way to go, a magnet on one side only and a washer on the other. You can reduce the grip and the snapping noise by setting the washer deeper or bring it forward with...

Back before plywood and modern glue there were reasons to make slip in bottoms. If you're doing that now you're stuck in an incredibly old rut.

I really prefer a floor model so I can drill the ends of table legs and other taller stuff. And the footprint is smaller.

One of these guys has 60 grit, the other has 240. I rarely need anything else. Not switching paper seems to extend the life of the H&L and it makes the work go better.

240 grit, sand sand...

With your space limitations, maybe you can't have an aircraft carrier to land your planes on. A bench-centric shop may suit you better. Shrink the SS Sawstop and slide it to the right till it's...
