I have a LN #2, #4, #5, #7, and #8. The #8 is about 4 7/8" to the top of the tote. The #7 is about 4 5/8" and both the #4/#5 are 4 1/2". So yes the tote is slightly taller but as Robert said they are...
I did similar to what Derek Cohen showed. I made a large MFT that doubles as an outfeed/assembly table. I made it as a torsion box to keep it relatively flat and finished the MDF with thinned poly....
Please keep posting the progress Derek! Even if we aren't all saying something I can guarantee we are all watching! The seats came out amazing! I can't wait to see what they look like on the chair...
Congratulations! As others said, def be careful of the rabbit hole! I'm a Lie Nielsen tool fan boy. In general I love all well made tools but LN is a local tool maker here in Maine therefore...
This is great! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the build and the finished product. Something about Koi fish I find beautiful.
Chris, do you have a digital (or analog if that's all you have) multi-meter? You should be able to diagnose those two possibilities easy enough if you do. I'd love to know what you see for resistance...
Rod,
That is also another way to handle the start capacitor. I'm not familiar with Felder machines therefore assumed they were a permanent split capacitor induction motor. But having a start...
I'm assuming your start capacitor has failed. Without a this capacitor the motor is going to just sit stationary without a way to get started. The capacitor creates a phase shifted current which is...
I was also going to say a saw or router guide. But it seems like there are two guides attached together that are opposite each other which I don't understand. I can't think of a reason to have two...
I used to flatten and hone a card scraper up to the same grit I used on chisels and plane irons. I now typically stop at the 5000 grit stone and really don't spend too much time on that. The key is...
Derek, do you sharpen the LV low angle spokeshave at a higher angle to prevent chip out? Or do you just hold the shave at the correct cutting angle using the sole to do this? I have the Caleb James...
Very cool to see this one. Great work as always Derek.
I am very jealous of the HNT Gordon spokeshave you have. I own a flat and curved sole HNT Gordon which are amazing, but they are the narrower...
That Arbortech Turbo Plane is amazing! The fact that there is little to no chips is hard to believe with that tool. The mess a tool like that leaves behind is the primary reason I wouldn't use it,...
That's amazing Derek. I really look forward to this build thread, this has to be one of my favorite chair designs.
I feel your pain with shaping a seat in rock maple! I made a Perch Stool a...
I'm actually curious about this as well. I was under the impression that bearing guides are preferable but people rave about Carter guides. I have the same bandsaw and need to replace the bearings on...
I'm a little late for my suggestion of winding sticks but will give it anyway. Buying 4' levels for winding sticks is a bit of an expense IMO. I use a aluminum angle which is typically produced by...
Exactly my wife's and I exact words 2 minutes ago. SMC never ceases to amaze me with the generosity and tight community here. I'm proud to be a member of SMC and look forward to visiting almost every...
Def would recommend BandsawBladesDirect!!!
If you read my posts I said nothing about your work looking like it was cut with a hammer. My post clearly says that if I used a standard pencil line for my layout it would look like MY joinery was...
Using painters tape and marking inside a score line is much different than working to just a pencil line. I will often use the blue tape method especially when cutting dovetails in dark...
I'm curious who you think is doing a "Sales Pitch"? I really doubt anyone in this thread has any affiliation with all the brands that are recommended therefore gain nothing from mentioning them.
...
I completely agree about the Tite-Mark Mortise wheels as well as the Tite-Mark reverse wheel. For some reason the reverse wheel bevel and the mortise wheel bevels seem to be ground at a high angle...
As far as blades go I would not recommend going with the 1" blade on this saw. They say the saw is rated for it and I bought one to use. Getting this blade on and off is not much fun and I also think...
I'm pretty sure that the G0513 is the 17" bandsaw. I own the same exact saw and have been extremely happy with it. I'm not a big Grizzly fan overall but my G0513x2b has been a great saw over the...
