$3.07 / bd foot for select in my area.

Every single time I burn an inch it burns me. I don't think I've ever gotten it right.

My name is Corey.....and I hoard lumber. Green, rough sawn, knots, select, nails, kiln dried, domestic, exotic....it doesn't matter. I bring it all home and stuff it into every available space I...

I have cut up quite a number of "yard" trees over the past few years. Yes, my sawyer(s) has hit loads of nails, fence staples, shotgun BB's, copper pipes, you name it. I always warn him where I got...

Charlie,

I make a lot of end grain cutting boards (some with a single species and some with multiple different species) and even after they're finished they'll warp if I lay them flat on the...

I can't speak about Forrest, but I just got a blade back from Dynamic and it is sharp, scary sharp. Sharper than my Freud Fusion was brand new. I actually cut myself on it just removing the...

I like it! I especially like the hardware that you picked for it. Definitely fits the piece well. And I'm impressed with your doors. Looks like an even gap all the way around.

Is the...

This really is an awesome piece of work. Just beautiful.

Very original design and I really like the live edge. If I were a judge it would certainly catch my eye.

Guys- thanks for all the info. You must know your stuff because I went down to look them over some more after reading your posts and you were all dead on. The Miller's Falls is in fact a #14, the...

Congrats on the excellent lumber Derek. I think it's a good idea to make sure your stickers are dry. I'm really not sure if that will reduce sticker stain, but it can't hurt and it will help prevent...

I found these in the basement of a house recently and was wondering if anyone had any information about them. The plane on the left is stamped "Millers Falls", the wooden body in the middle is...

Chuck,

I like to have my logs squared and then split right down the middle (except for the walnut which I ask them not to square so I can preserve the sapwood). That get's rid of the pith of the...

Whether or not it's "the source" of the problem, I'd recommend that you replace the existing belt with a link belt. I did this with my saw, which also had some pretty serious vibration, and the...

Nicely done! I really like the clean straight lines.

I bought a Grizzly 0555 several years ago and have been completely happy with it. Put on a good quality blade and it will cut anything you ask it to.

My latest project.....I was asked to build two of these for a co-worker who collects wine and just finished up the first. It's made of white oak that I cut and milled a couple of years ago. It's...

Eric,

I used Waterlox original sealer followed by a coat of their marine finish on my wife's rifle stock and it turned out nice. Easy to apply and it's held up great over the past few years of...

+1 for Rockler in Milwaukee.

Looks like you have an axe-handle hound lurking somewhere in your shop. Missing any hammer handles? :)

Dirk-

Given your meticulous finishing practices I would say you have nothing to fear when it comes to rubbing out either the sprayed on or wiped on finish. Rubbing it out should get rid of the...

Dan,

How much material did you remove when you routed the top flat? Also, is your pine kiln dried to 12% moisture or did you let it acclimate to that level in the house? If your wood isn't kiln...

John,

I would suspect one of three things: tree roots, soil settling may have caused your pipe to get a "V" in it, or you could have scaling/blockage of the line between the tanks if you're on...

I use a lot of white ash for furniture. It's one of my favorite woods to work with and I've never had any trouble with it cracking or splitting. I have quite a stack of air dried ash that I cut two...

Mike,

I had access to a large hackberry tree a few years ago and had it cut up as lumber. Not sure I'd bother with it again. Think of elm, only more twisty and more stringy. Plus you get the...
