Check out the sawmill classifieds today.. A guy is selling them all on a thumb drive.
Interesting, George. That could work, I think.
Thanks Steve. The pieces have to be uniform and yes I can drill a hole on the down/bottom to hold it for whatever purpose. I've already cut some test pieces using a hole saw/drill press and yes I...
Looks like I'll be "forced" to buy a benchtop lathe -- at least that's the excuse I'll use to buy another tool!
I need to make about 20 3-inch diameter domed pieces with a "shoulder" of about 1/2" high.
Seems too small to balance a router on. Do I have to turn them? (I don't have a lathe!) I can't figure it...
It’s funny — today’s episode of Arabella features the guy doing the electronics bemoaning the fact that there’s a hot shower aboard. So I’ll give you that, Holmes! (But the guy also said he doesn’t...
Ensler recently completed a carvel planked boat. He's doing the down and dirty strip plank to meet the deadline for the Arabella project. His woodworking skills aren't bad; maybe a noob may think so....
Just a quick follow up on this thread I started -- I took some of the advice above and drove up from Massachusetts to NH today to Highland and got some nice 8/4 surfaced red oak. I would have went...
Beautiful project result for a sad assignment. Nice work and my sympathies.
I watch a guy, Bob Ensler, whose YouTube channel is called the Art of Boat Building. He recently started a boat building boot camp which I think allows you to consult with him on your build. He's...
I'm all set with this duct hood. No need to respond (and thanks anyways!)
While knocking Chinese stuff, people have no problem re-mortgaging their houses to buy Japanese chisels, or German-made Festool and Knipex, or any of the other non-North-America-made tools that crowd...
Zachery, thank you for offering that. It turns out that I have a few extra knive sets that were included when I bought this off Craigslist years ago. Thanks again.
Thanks for looking. Reading Amazon comments, it appears the hood for the 734 should work for the 733 (but not the 735). That’s good news because it’s $50 cheaper. I may try a homebuilt/capped PVC...
I have the discontinued Dewalt 733 12” planer but don’t have the triangular dust hood attachment at the rear. Before I spend $80 to get one or undertake the task of trying to re-create one, I thought...
Justin, I'm at the same place you are in building a sled/flattening slabs. I'm going to get the MLCS extender just because it's a good brand and I'm a bit leery of the $11-12 ones and the potential...
What sort of blade is on the #4? Thanks.
Thanks Stan and Holmes. I checked Highland out online. I'll have to drive up there next week -- it's only about 50 miles away.
Thomas, it's not around here. I'm probably going to go with Douglas fir for the top which is the cheapest, strongest, non spruce-pine-fir lumber I can find. (Even Ash ain't that cheap here plus I'd...
"Have you tried REX Lumber in Acton? https://www.rexlumber.com/lumber/product/white-ash/"
That's a good lead. Thanks.
GRK Fasteners are great and are readily available. When I was building a boat I got stainless steel screws through Jamestown Distributors. They have a good general selection.
I don't think this is entirely off topic since we're discussing safety mechanisms AND sliders, but this new safety mechanism from Altendorf looks like the first real competitor to the Saw Stop...
Thanks Patrick. Good suggestions.
Mike, your red oak bench looks great! I have some red oak slabs drying in my basement from the old oak tree in my yard that I cut down and slabbed with an "Alaskan sawmill." But I'm saving that for a...
Jim: I haven't gone to HD or Lowes, or rather I know they don't carry non-PT SYP or Doug Fir. I've been trying every specialized lumber suppliers in my area. It's all about where you live.
