The chisel bevel angles vary quite a bit. I buy assorted cone shape stones that go into a drill. I change the angle on them by spinning them in a drill against a grinding wheel. My chisels go from...

Tom, It's great to see someone matching existing sash, through tenons and all.
No Dominos and epoxy.
I have a little Dust Deputy cyclone on a 55 gallon drum, all outdoors. The 55 gallon drum really seals tight.The exhaust has some fine dust in it, I aim it at the sawdust trailer.
I have been using...
Here's a profile from a shaker building.

These are custom cutters, but the profile is a copy of an 1840's Shaker sash.
I use an Ultra Clean central vac. It's great for the floor, sanders, rip saw, etc.

I agree, 2" truck straps work great. Pad the laminations with some bending plywood.
The note above warning about sanding wood to be machined is right on. Any sandpaper touching wood will dull...
Try using The Google. "Sossry" is right there. I never knew, hadn't come across it, added a new facet to this jewel of a day.

The choice of wood can depend on the amount of water hitting the screens. Some screen houses have pretty good over hangs, and the screens don't go all the way to the floor. In that case, I would use...
Sounds like a great project.
Saw it into lumber now before it dries out and checks. This is what sawmills near me do.
My round wood fire wood checks real bad as it dries.
It's easy to mock someone doing stunt cuts, but this person can look ahead. If you're going to risk amputating fingers, cut them off ahead of time so they won't be in the way.
OWWM will get its collective panties in a twist at the mention of a Grizzley machine.
I have a 20 hp rotary phase converter. It seems like what matters is the load. I run a few machines at a time. The pony motor is an electric drill with a nut driver in the chuck. I get the 20 hp...
Enfield Shaker Village has flat panel cupboards, but the entry, interior, and closet doors have moldings, and some raised panels. The cope and stick refers to the cutters.
That's a new threat to one's liver that I haven't heard of. Not doubting you, it's just new to me. It would be an add on to that Paul Simon song 50 Ways to Lose Your Liver.
Most of my Starrett tools came from the town dump. We used to have a metal pile at the dump. People would throw metal in a pile, and a scrapper would take it to the scrap yard.
One day I found...
I'm surprised anyone has heard of Orange. Starrett's is in Athol, adjacent to Orange. I live just south of both, in North Dana.
Couldn't miss the name, is this your side gig?

Doug Starrett has been a decent steward of the company for many years. I hope that this transition benefits the 1,800 people that work at Starrett's. The reason the tools are such high quality is...
$80. would be a good deal if they matched the radius any of my custom made corrugated back cope and stick cutters.
For larger pieces, I use a 4" diameter x 4" tall insert head with a rub bearing from Freeborn on a shaper. I only use the router bits for small stuff. The shrinking cutter diameter after sharpening...
What are you using the router bit for?
I mortise a lot of Sapele. It can be pretty oily. I find that the 5/16" hollow chisels work a lot better than the 1/4" hollow chisels. Th 1/4" chisels approach the design limits of a hollow chisel....
For small stuff, a form and 2" truck straps work well. The laminations need to be thin enough to easily bend on the required radius. Padding inside and outside the work piece needs to be adequate to...
I use 5/4 eastern white pine for an outfeed table.
The friction coefficient of wood on wood is low enough that I am able to slide wood over wood. When the surface gets too beat up, I unscrew the...
