I haven't heard back from Horizon - strange, we had a good conversation. But - small order for an outfit geared toward large pieces - I'll try to be patient. I am planning a trip to WV in a week or...

Patrick: Did you mean Irion?
So noted. Hoping to avoid, but you gotta do what you gotta do.....
Matt, sources, yes, although limited, and what I saw I wasn't impressed with. Keep in mind, I'm trying to match up with very old walnut......
Thank you gentlemen for the steer(s). I've been in touch with Pete at Horizon and am awaiting his response based on what we discussed.
Looking for a good source for clear, all heartwood walnut in small quantity - some 6/4 for (4) 24" legs, some 4/4 for various small table parts. I'm trying to match some very old (100 yr +?) material...
Thanks for the input Earl.
Thank you for this steer, Michelle. The pantorouter video I watched previously must have been from the prototype stage - wooden machine, slotted clear flexible plastic DC shroud instead of a brush....
Greetings all,
First, the gloat: I just picked up a JDS multi-router, complete with stand, mobile base, pneumatic hold downs and PC 6902 router - in perfect operating condition (except for the...
Good morning all,
Anyone have any experience buying from Woodford Tooling or Xcalibur, specifically planer/jointer knives? Ridiculously low pricing on Ebay. Too good to be true?
Thanks,
Bruce
Lots of recommendations leading to lots of searching. My head is starting to spin. If I stay hung up on 1/2" 3 TPI skip carbon, which I find myself doing (for whatever reason - mostly Fortune's...
Hey, thanks guys. Some areas to explore.
A search on the underlying question here gave me equivocal results, so here's another band saw blade question.......
I am a proponent of Michael Fortune's band saw philosophy: K-I-S-S. I last...
Mark, I have one of these and have successfully made my own inserts.......possibly why the company is "long gone". I made a bunch quite some time ago, so details on just how I accomplished this are...
I got talked into buying a bottle of Deglue Goo a while back. It works, but a home recipe probably works just as well. The Deglue definitely has a vinegar smell to it - my guess is it also has some...
Thank you Lowell. I knew that. I'll be using LV old brown glue, though.
Greetings all,
I have an old "Jenny Lind" spindle bed that racks from side to side. Cleaning up and regluing the bottom rail and upper tenons will be fairly straightforward, but I notice that all...
I get good collection out of my 66, but I went the route of cutting holes in the cabinet: 6" hole in the right side, 1" slots in the left side at (shop made) floor level for "air sweep" effect, Shark...
"$105 is a lot of money that could be spent on a kerosene lantern or a battery powered light plus a lot of batteries."
Spendy? Yep. But not overly so for a gift.....and there are no batteries to...
All I can say is it works. I got one for my sister - power grid infrastructure is slowly deteriorating here - mostly because of government meddling - and we get way more power outages than we used...
It appears to be unanimous. Live and learn. Thanks for the feedback. Will rectify.
I work in the woodshop at a major New England ski resort. I have been using the free version of Sketchup for a good number of years to design and build various projects for the resort. A recent...
I had a BIL of that pie in the sky bent. After he drank himself to death (!), my sister gave me his nearly new Stihl, which he, of course, ran w/ vegetable oil. The splatter on the body of the saw,...
Todd - 'zackley! Dad was an MD - I figure this was a promo from maybe a drug company or something similar, probably came in a nice box w/ company name/logo. Don't think Dad ever used it - at least...
OK! Excellent - a timber scribe. Don't know what I'll ever do with it, though.
There was actually another interesting mystery tool found as well, but I was able to ID it myself. Nice brass case,...
