Right now I have an older Powermatic 60 8" jointer and a Jet JWP-16OS planer. Admittedly I probably don't use either one as much as I could now. FB has Grizzly GO634XP 12" combo listed that I was...

The "wax coated wood" brings back bad memories for me. Several years ago, a very inexperienced ME bought a turned wood carvers mallet on a whim. Nice mallet, heavy, balanced. But the waxy surface...

I'm going to extend some "short" loft bed legs 18". The legs are 3 1/2" square. I was going to "mortise" about a 2 3/4" square 1" deep into the loft leg and "tenon" an 1'' on the extension, then...

I always thought this would make a great horizontal mortiser. I've got a regular mortiser but I really don't like how it works. I made a router mortiser from Shopnotes, it's ok but not perfect. I've...

Does anyone use a Shopsmith to mortise? I've seen a couple of references on other sites where people have used theirs for mortising. Work? Greg

I still remember what the Morris style chairs in the old barber shop felt like. Those were nice! But, guess I'll go with a period style fabric of some sort. I'll still price a high quality foam like...

I've always wanted to build a Morris chair. Finally got around to building the one out of the Feb 99 Wood magazine. Big learning experience for me! Got it done and I love it. Figured I'd have an...

The joiner I have is the Ryobi JM80. Yup....cheap! Bought it years ago when most of my tools were Craftsman. Don't know where I picked up the biscuits back then but I'm sure they were cheap also....

I've started to build the Limbert style coffe table in the Feb. 2016 issue of Fine Woodworking. The plans call for the end panels to be glued up using buiscuts for alignment. I bought a biscuit...

Thanks for all the replies! Looks like it's unanimous. Luckily I'm on vacation this week so I've got some time to go look at it. About 75 miles away, but that's about a 1/3 of the distance of all...

I've had a Shop Fox 1702 shaper for about 4 yrs now. Bought it used, figured on using it regularly. However, I've only used it a few times now, mostly for rabbets or pattern routing. Quite honestly...

I was considering ordering the latest Woodpeckers One Time Tool: the Paoline pocket ruler. I see that these have been made before. You can get these either in aluminum or stainless steel. Anyone own...

Well, yes kind of figured on it. We've painted vanities before with brushes/rollers and never liked the results. We were under the impression that most redo jobs were done this way.

My wife and I have considered redoing our kitchen by painting our kitchen cabinets. They're basic big box oak cabinets with arched doors. I thought we'd replace the doors with a shaker style and have...

I didn't think the thicker backing should cause any problems. Thanks.

Years ago I built my own drum sander. Works great but you have to push the wood through by hand and it's easy to get a divot in the wood if you slow up too much. Unfortunately it's hard to see it...

After reading the answers I realize that that I shouldn't have included the brand issue in the question (fixed that). What I'm more curious about is whether it's wise to upgrade when everything I...

Right now I have all Dewalt 18v tools. 1 hammer drill(weak), 2 VSR drills, 1 impact and a circular saw. I have 4 XRP batteries (1 rebuild) and 2 regular and 2 chargers. Both the regular batteries are...

Another thing to consider: I assume your wheels will spin freely on the axle? Otherwise your cart won't turn well if the wheels are locked onto the shaft. When turning your cart each wheel is going...

I'm thinking about doing a Morris chair for the next project. The lock miter has always intrigued me and some time ago I picked up a "Blue Tornado" lock miter shaper bit to try. Yup, cheap cutter....

Bill, do you use the smaller jig? I really don't anticipate using thinner stock than 3/4", or maybe I should say that I can't see why I would want to. And right now I just have a larger LM cutter....

I'm finally ready to experiment with using a lock miter to make some legs. I was going to order the Infinity Lock Miter Master Jig. But I see they offer some set-up blocks also. The jig will set up...

Those are the ones I mean John. As far as the slop factor Mark, wouldn't these have less (if matched correctly with a dovetail slot that is) than a pair of drawer slides? Anyway, just wondering! Ran...

I've been considering making a horizontal mortiser and have been wondering about the x-y slides. I've had the garage sale add from Rockler on my email and finally got around to looking at some of the...

The 1/4" M/T is what I had in mind originally. But I really don't like my mortise machine and was considering the groove/filler because of this. I saw this method in Wood Magazine and thought I might...
