My experience with something similar (but not Bridge City) is you'll get more selling it pieced out.
It's your reward for the extra patience required.

The wedge is oriented to split the grain of the tenon and to NOT split the grain of the mortised piece.
After my trip to Hawaii in September I brought back some instrument-grade bees-wing Koa.
I was also allowed to examine the furniture made by students at the missionary school in Hilo about a century...
It depends on your definition of affordable. At my local leathercraft store the owner also does custom leatherwork.
As a result he has a bin of scrap leather for sale where $5 will buy enough to...
15 - 20 hours as a hobbyist.
One of our club members has one and several of us have used it for special projects.
For instance, I've used it to do special cutouts for five barn owl boxes. It works as advertised.
It's not a...
How many planes? Are you a shill for my wife? j/k
Derek - did you live with the springback or find a way to overcome it?
For the last five years I've been working on a 84" split-top Roubo bench with about the same overhangs. There has been no problem.
Look at it this way: you will be sawing, planing, and chiseling....
If it's proud then it's the real fence.
Brian, as always you're a fount of knowledge. Can you refer me to a set of instructions or guidelines?
My painting would like to be unbound from conventional dimensions.
If you don't care about the container (e.g. original box) a good user set can be had for $35 without much effort, even in a tool-desert like Los Angeles.
Jim I've often wondered if chisels shaped like that were used to clean up pocket hole sockets.
I also have a Noden and enjoy the adjustability. A word or warning: if you hang heavy vises on it (like a patternmaker's) it does get harder to let up and down.
In the table tennis video there's so much artificial camera work they must be really shifting the apparent result.
It's like watching the chase sequence in a movie where the camera angle changes...
Thanks for posting this. I was picturing thinning the wrong part of the holdfast.
Since Black Bear Forge is not taking new orders, Pete's link is meh.
One thing I didn't see mentioned: RO sanders work faster when hooked up to dust collection.
Eisenbrand Hardwoods in the south bay is a good bet for camphor.
IME OBG's advantage over THG is tied to its disadvantage: OBG flows best when it's warmed. As a result when OBG cools you get the slight shrinkage that pulls a joint together. I just heat OBG in my...
I hope I learned to keep much better notes during a project, particularly on prototypes. If I've got to change something it would be nice to know what I'm changing.
I'll know soon enough if I...
I bought their pit saw three years ago. Once I got pointers on sharpening it, it's been fun to use. Elevating logs is NOT the fun part.
Sorry if I missed it in an earlier thread: any trick to getting the boxing out other than working hot water into the joint?
It's an interesting book for me. It doesn't show you how to 'do' anything. It does show how one person's experiences, mindset, and techniques have built to very high-level woodworking design and...
For me it's shaping two or more (hopefully) matching curves.
My first artful pieces were anything but. Yet the ideas in my head wouldn't let me rest. I have been full-scale prototyping even my one-offs.
A great way to prototype spoons is with cardboard or...
