Contact Frank Strazza - he made one for the San Antonio Symphony and documented the build on Instagram. His has a soundboard, peg, and everything.
I'm no expert in wood movement, but it sounds like internal stresses caused by drying it improperly. QS wood should not move that much - certainly not banana like. And if they're all doing it, and...
Congrats. Moving to a slider is always a bit of a learning curve, but going with a nice new Felder will speed it up. Enjoy it!
What are you guys using to true up the Oil Stones? I've seen diamond plates and a whole assortment of things (SiC paper on Granite, etc.), but wondering what works best for this group of stones.
Wait time - about a year....Jeremiah is backed up and that (to me) is a good thing for him, so no complaints. I ordered the slide arm with a brass depth stop. He makes all the parts himself -...
Nice set up Ken. Is the Auburn a Rosewood plane? I've only used slide arm planes and really like that set up. Vintage planes tend to lose their irons, and its seemingly hard (and expensive) to...
The inserts on the Felder Silent Cutter are very long lasting. For a hobbiest - you're likely going to get years before you need to change them. 16" machines are really big - so more beef is always...
It's tough to ask a impersonal forum whether you should spend money. Lots of people don't like the combination machines, I happen to be in the minority that actually likes them. I have Mini-Max,...
Except its definitely Coke, Chocolate & Bourbon......
Its for a walk out basement, so two sides are under ground, so it's not beat by the sun like the rest of the house. That said, on hot days it runs about 20% of the time during daylight hours - and...
I'm in the northern Atlanta area and I added a mini-split to my basement workshop. It keeps the dust separate from the rest of the house, and was an economical alternative to adding HVAC (both heat...
I see it both ways. Firstly, it is interesting that only recently has the drawknife garnered any attention (outside of windsor chairmakers). I don't even think we can blame this on the...
We're very fortunate to have a great Woodcraft in Atlanta. The owner is passionate about woodworking in general, as well as promoting period and high quality hand tools. He's got it all, from...
If you want to sell the OS Jack, I'm interested.....and yes, I'd love it (have a smoother and a Try - NEED the Jack...)
There are two methods I use to do that very thing (MM machine). I will either use the rip fence as you would normally, locking the slider and setting the fence 5.5" from the blade. I would feed the...
I've got a golden MM myself - the 12" one. I never removed the tables, so I can't opine on that. As for the pressure rollers, there is an allen head adjustment to the spring pressure when you open...
Most have already covered what you need. I'd recommend just buying the irons from Lie-Nielsen like others suggested. The main difference between the Williams Method and the Herrli method comes down...
I'm weighing a new Router decision. I currently have an older Bosch 16XX plunge router, that while I understand it has certain challenges and is no longer made, has served me well for 15+ years, and...
That's a great saw and will last a hobbiest/semi-pro several lifetimes. Standard shipping is upright, but it can certainly be shipped on its spine as well. You may actually save some money on...
Charles, any chance this is a steath gloat as well? Congrats on the new machine - I'm slumming it with the MM version myself.
Spindles are expensive. Last time I looked they were around $700. ...
I would not recommend back beveling a Bevel Up Low Angle plane. Firstly, the bed itself is only 12.5 degrees, and secondly, all you're doing is eliminating the clearance. If you want a scraper -...
You could sandwich that steel tooth plate with indents every quarter inch or so in a wider wooden guide bar. That would enable you to use the weight balancing roller wheels Benchcrafted employs on...
What, no Grill Dome people? You got good suggestions, and the Naked Whiz site has more than 50 different egg table pictures, plus plans for a generic one (for the Primo Guys, just supplement Primo...
I've got a MM combo with an 8.5' slider and really have grown to love this tool (upgrade from a contractors saw). The biggest difference to a slider vs. cabinet saw (and the SS is a great saw, as...
