Thanks for the advice, my saw does have the four adjustable guide blocks, I have recently started milling my own lumber, with my home made chainsaw mill, and this saw will help in that process, and...

I bought this resaw bandsaw that was built to run on 3" wide 101-3/4" stelite tipped blades, which are somewhat hard to come by, although they can be had. The question at stake here is,...

Thanks, now I just need to build a matching bench, and strip and refinish those terrible green chairs, they were my wife's before I met her, I don't think I can tackle building chairs yet, but the...

Well, I gave it a go, despite wanting to wait and see if anyone here had tried this, i put down two coats on the bottom of the top, the first coat was flawless, it looked really good, the second coat...

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but this is exactly what I am looking for. I have a Peruvian/tropical walnut dining table that I'm about ready to put a finish on, I am using aqua coat grain filler,...

Prashun, thanks for this write up, it has been a huge help, I am just about done building a dining table out of Peruvian walnut, the top is Peruvian, and the base is regular walnut, I want...

Take some measurements, as long as the knives are the same or very close to the same height, and the exact same thickness, I doubt 1/8" overhang on each end will cause any problems. Just look around...

This is probably a dumb question, but isn't white wood just Douglas fir? I thought I heard that somewhere. And why do they call it that?

On mine the entire pin can be unscrewed, it sounds like it's gummed up, or the table is just tightened up against it and pinching it. As for the one table being 90 and the other not, that's either a...

I wish we had anything that even resembled a flea market here in utah.

I didn't think of that, that is a really good idea Brian. I think I'll do that. I like the idea of being able to remove it if I need to.

that's exactly what I was trying to explain about enlarging the dovetails for the front board, and about where to use glue. Next up is to do that, and install the vises. I'll update when I get...

That's what I was thinking, but I haven't been able to find anyone online that didn't bore a few elongated holes in the end cap for some bolts as well. I suppose I could always add them later if it...

I was talking about whether or not to glue the end cap on, the legs will be through open dovetail in front, and mortise behind it, like a typical roubo design. I still have one more board left for...

Well, I've been working on my bench with the plans of posting up the build and finished project when I was done, but I'm in need of help now, I am using alder since it is available and pretty cheap....

Bob, I was asking about building my 2-3/4" slab, then gluing basically a 1-1.5" thick board on top, but I'm thinking that just has too many different grain patterns, and other variables that would...

You're right, I already have the wood, I'm going to continue with the plan, I just finished up getting everything roughly planed and squared and ready for some glue. It should be about 2-3/4" thick...

Alder is no maple by any means, it's at 590, SYP is 690, with the long leaf yellow pine at 870. Poplar is 540 and Doug fir 660. It should hold up pretty well, unless I take an ax to it, I would have...

I've been taking pics, and i would have preffered maple, but it's far too spendy for me especially being a learn as you go project, I have been using my table saw, but everything else has been hand...

You're right stew, I have read both Scott landis and Chris Swartz workbench books and I guess I'm really taking bits and pieces from all the different benches. The flush to legs like the roubo, I...

I plan to use a sliding tail vise, with a shoulder, mainly because they look really cool, joking, but they do look nice. And for that to work the top, or at the very least the shoulder itself needs...

So I'm in the process of building my roubo, of sorts, and I'm coming to the realization that a 2.75" top is gonna be too thin. So I have a bunch of alder 2.5"x2"x8' boards that will be laminated. I...

Like the others have said, shoulder surgery has a very tedious painful recovery, I tore about everything that can be torn in my left shoulder racing dirtbikes. I've had several other surgeries, from...

Well, it is far more complex than I thought it would be. Volt meter could work, if your a fairily competent mathematician/electrical engineer. Carry on. I'm looking into getting a moisture meter as...
