I haven't logged in to the forums in some time. Now when I do I'm unable to see posts that contain images hosted by the forum; I can see images with posts that have external links. When there is a...

I had a similar issue. I found a bench plan in Shopnotes Issue #75 and modified it to fit my needs. It's made of dimensional lumber and I made provisions for 2 50 pound bags of sand under the lower...

In case anyone is interested in the Rikon 70-220vsr Midi Lathe, it is on sale until Nov 27th at Craft Supply for $519.99 plus $45 shipping:

I am not an experienced woodturner by any stretch, hence this question: What is an acceptable moisture content for a turning block that can be turned from start to finish in one go? I'd like to make...

In addition to all the other suggestions, keep in mind that there is a gear oil reservoir for the cutter head. If you find it necessary to transport the upper section in any other orientation than...

Regarding Mark Harmon - he is actually a woodworker. From a 2010 article...

I have the Grizzly 1023 with the 7' rails and I used the Power Tool Mobile Base from Rockler - http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=2383&site=ROCKLER - as a basis for my mobile base. Instead of...

I just purchased a Grizzly G0656P 8" jointer and had a chance to put it to use for the first time yesterday. What I found was that most of the chips produced by a jointing operation ended up on the...

About a week ago I posted a question about welding a cast iron jointer table in this thread. I wanted to post an update.

The jointer is a Ridgid JP0610 that I've had for probably ten years. I...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I will be ordering a replacement table (the cost I mentioned originally is with shipping) tomorrow and get this back in service enough to finish the...

The long story: I had a long board that I was running through my 15" planer. My garage is my shop so all the tools are on wheels and get moved around each time I am working. I normally have the...

While working today, my jointer was accidentally knocked over. As a result, I now have a crack adjacent to the dovetail ways in the outfeed table, with a small piece broken off. I've got it apart...

I think the biggest reason the finish came out so nicely is the use of the HVLP self contained unit instead of the conversion gun. All of the shellac was freshly mixed from flakes and I never sprayed...

Thanks to everyone for the nice complements. I assure you, there are plenty of what I term "mistakes" and all but one are pretty well disguised. And the drawers do open and close.

I want to add...

Actually, it was the first time I've ever sprayed anything. I did a few test pieces when I was trying to figure out how to use the dyes and pore filler and started with one of the cheap Harbor...

John,

I am new to using shellac flakes to mix my own shellac and have only done so on one project. I purchased my shellac flakes from www.shellacfinishes.biz. The owner, Vijay Velji only sells...

I am still new enough to this woodworking stuff that I know exactly how many projects I've done - and this is my third. This dresser and changing table was built from the Wood Magazine plans for my...

Brian,

I recently bought a used clone 15" planer and also had to figure out the right blade height to install a new set of knives. I found the same reference in the Grizzly manual and used that to...

Mike,

Have you checked the tension on the Table Height Chain mechanism? Could the idler sprocket have loosened?

David W. is correct in his assumption that attorneys are the reason that initial pleas are very often "not guilty" even though the person may have already confessed. When a prosecutor issues charging...

Matt,

I've had three iPhones over the last three years and I have been very happy with all of them; I have family members who have them and a number of friends as well and they are all happy with...

Perry,

I have a cabinet saw with 50" rails on a mobile base. I used the HF mobile base but instead of using wood pieces to connect the base corners I used square steel. On the extension side I...

Brian,

Another thing you might consider is to use a rake (the kind with the hard tines, not a leaf rake) to blend the areas that are soil with the surrounding turf. You don't say what type of turf...

Unfortunately, Matt's experience is a daily occurrence. There is little incentive for the credit card issuers to fix the system since, for the most part, they are not on the hook for the fraudulent...
