What's a POD?
I'm in a tight spot as my shop space landlord is suddenly going nuts on me and saying I must be out immediately. He thinks he can do whatever he wants and can bully me. We have no lease but I know I...
When a motor goes out is it dead or just in a coma? How does one know. I have a '50's Powermatic planer that the motor conked out on and I'm wondering if it can be revived. (Know precious little...
How do I edit a post? I went to it and looked for the word edit but found nothing. Is it right there? Where?
Selling entire shop. Old tools but good sturdy tools. Some need work but they are still capable of many more years of work. They are priced with that in mind. I am also selling my bench, a utility...
Odd, I have to pay to list things for sale? Not the SMK I remember from years ago.
Thanks but i was talking about getting rid of wood, wood scraps, screws, nuts and bolts, steel wool, utility shelves and cabinets that hold up my chop saw or mortiser. I'm going to put my machines up...
I've finally come to terms with the body being gone and that it is time to get rid of the shop. Coincidentally the guy I rent from has told me he needs me out because he is going to redo the roof and...
I was referring to the appearance. The classic board is ebony with boxwood or maple...I think. I wanted to point out that similar grains might be preferred.
My first thought about the woods is that one is very porous and the other quite not. As a woodworking chess player this would bug the crap out of me. A separate point I try to make to anyone I...
If you are using bed bolts then tenoning the rails will give you ample strength. If you are going with something else keep in mind that the majority of beds sold in furniture stores are made with...
I am looking to try my hand at furniture with live edge/slab tops and have only an average car to transport what I buy. I'm hoping to find some 15" wide tops and would like to cut 10' lengths down to...
At first I didn't think this was a good idea but have since gone to ebay and found something that would work for $9.99 if I cut it up.
About 2-3/4" or more in diameter.
Thanks for the replies folks. The parts I want are small mett stand, the rods about 1/4" diameter, maybe 4" tall with a thin metal round plate on top. I don't like the idea of wood 'cause I like how...
I work in a store that sells these candle holders and I'd like to make some, but out of nicer wood. I'm trying to find the stems that hold the votive glass holders but can't come up with them yet....
Brandon-
If you are still looking I would recommend Craigslist and flea markets. I'm in Chester County and I know if I go to the flea markets easy and west of me I could probably find a few #7's....
I'm not sure why you would suggest steam bending or lamination for this, that's way too much work and neither method serves any benefit fpr this. I would create templates for the molding and case...
I think if you are focused nothing should break your concentration short of being actually bitten by your first example. Hands should always be in position of next to no possibility of danger, i.e.,...
A couple of people mentioned the size of the legs. I haven't made that image full size but I believe what I posted is almost 12" high and I think that would make the legs in the area of 1/4" wide???...
That makes no sense at all. Forty thousand for the rocker that he duplicates for everyone that comes along?
I saw the website, part of the reason I want to do it myself. That's not a price range I go to for a wall hanging. I'd be going for a 3" to 4' in all likelihood.
Any input on my doing it as I...

There is a picture in a local steakhouse like the above that my wife always comments on when we go there. The background is amber and and the whole thing is framed. I think she is dropping...
If there is no reason for you to stay completely retired why don't you apply for a job at the Manayunk woodshop...can't remember the name of the place. The owner puts an add on craigslist for...
