I've had my Jet 22-44 Oscillating Drum Sander for about a month now. I took some of the tenson off the conveyor as directed in the set up. The belt slipped so I increased the tension until the belt...

As some of you know I posted a message a while back about my Powermatic 208 20 inch planer. I was getting what the rep. called "dishing" with ridges 3/8 inch apart. After doing all we could...

Alan, We did a lot of the work on our house, a timberframe addition to 1820's log cabin, and it was really my introduction to wood working. We did our stairs with a central metal tube stringer,...

I talked with a Performax rep at the Charlotte WW show this spring about the 22/44. One thing he mentioned was amount of "spring" or flexing on the open end. He said that was tested and was LESS...

Last time we added it up, 16 Toyotas in the family, need I say more...

P.S. I only have 3. (oldest is 20 years old and running strong, only 110,000 miles but almost every one of those at 4...

:D Just looked at your web site and saw your work. And to think a beginner like me, can come on Saw Mill Creek and have pros like you answer our questions for free. WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD WE LIVE IN...

This is my major gloat for this year. I got my Laguna LT-18 yesterday. I have noticed on the creek that most of you prefer the MMs, so I feel like I'm coming out of the closet by telling you this. I...

What you're saying is correct. We have a family friend that has a major saw mill here in SW Virginia. He used to sell most of his good wood to the furniture makers in the area. Now most of the...

Todd,

Good luck on getting the replacements. Once I ordered a 25 ft fiberglass flagpole. Since it was coming by trailer I had it delivered to my brother's business. Nobody noticed, even myself...

I saw the earlier post on branding irons and looked at the site. I picked the tree like yours. Now that I've seen one I'm going to have to order. Just remember guys, what we call crude is called...

I was at the woodworking show in Charlotte, NC a few weeks ago (still waiting on my Laguna bandsaw-yes, a hidden gloat). Talked with the factory rep and asked about the flexing since it's longer. He...

Super job, now for the next project. Just remember, your grandchildren are like my neices and nephews, spoil them rotten then send them home to Mom and Dad.

Check out FINE HOMEBUILDING mag. If I remember correctly they had an article about wood flooring over concrete just an issue or two back.

I've been looking up on the same thing. Seems red oak is bad because of the open pores for bacteria. Also many sites come up with mineral oil as a good finish. Most of the retail products are nut...

Just finished this wine table for friends as a wedding gift. Made out of red oak with golden oak stain. Yes a mini-gloat but also a test to see I'm loading pics correctly. Thanks. Mark

JR, Thanks will check that for sure. The harmonic vibration problem could be the problem. You can almost tell every time it's cutting the waves because of a "harmonic" pitch to the sound of the...

Picked up 4 at Roanoke, VA last night. LOML with me so I couldn't buy all of them. They had several left.

I've got a Powermatic 208 20 inch planer. Having problems with "dishing" as the rep. calls it. Most of the time I get waves in the boards and usually not the full length of the board. They are 3/8"...

Be sure to look at "large works" then "House of Books - Italy" and next to see all the pics. GREAT. Thanks for posting the link.

Super job. Love all the storage area.

I'll see all of you there. About a 3 1/2 hour drive from here but looking forward to the show. Never been to one. Dropping LOML off at Concord Mills Outlet so we both will have a GREAT day shopping....

I work in a pharmacy and we get a couple of drugs drop shipped to us in Styrofoam coolers about a foot square. My brother uses them all the time. He says one with a cold pack (that comes with the...

Roger,

Just how much patience do you have? I know what we put our scout master through. But he hung with us all the way. Was good to have one of those WW II Army guys as Scout Master. When it...

Thanks for the above post. My wife is so allergic to walnuts that even a slight taste and then spitting out (she was told they were pecans) was enough to throw her into a severe reaction.

I really hate to start this up again but I'm looking at both bandsaws. Has anyone used both, the mm16 and the laguna 18 with ceramic guides? Are the cermaic guides any better? How about Lagunia's...
