It sounds like you are planning to buy 8/4 lumber and make the top, rough lumber, and especially cherry, will not necessarily be flat and strait. Just keep that in mind. Cherry especially in longer...

I am the shipper. The table hasn't been built yet. But my client wants me to quote shipping now.

can anyone recommend a cross country shipping company that can handle large furniture items like a kitchen table?

Lord, I've been looking for a new planer here on CL and everything I find is horribly over priced. None of it moves either. $350 for old delta lunch box planers and $1200 for rusty 3 phase 15" non...

5/4 poplar is way over kill. I built mine from 3/4" surfaced poplar I had to plane again and it ended up 11/16" and it's still plenty stout. Even at 11/16" poplar the thing take two to lift empty.

We had the jet machine in the co-op I used to belong to, it was loud and it clogged very easily. It also lost its adjustments easily.

I plane until I can't make the surface any better. Sometimes that's good enough other times scraping is required. If I scrape some areas I blend it all in by sanding with 220. In that case all three...

I usually aim to finish off the plane, the less time I spend sanding the better. Usually though I just end up keeping the sanding to a minimum. I'll plane, the scrape then quick finish with 220.

I do a lot of work with slabs. I usually just use a jack plane to get it close then finish with a #8 jointer. I've built tables from two pieces both ways, glued and with a gap. I like the gap. It...

Tools on CL are like that here too. Somebody has trash and thinks it's gold. Hold out. I got my older delta drill press for $85. When I picked it up it still had cosmoline and plastic on the table. ...

I actually emailed him about this bench for that reason. His cherry roubo is gorgeous.

Thanks for all the replies. The slab is at 10% and for the next two years it'll live in a climate controlled basement that stays at 45% RH year round. I'd love the use the slab for furniture too...

Thanks for the reply. This is a big slab with the pith running the length of the slab. I don't see how it could loosen and fall out. I know cherry is fairly soft but I have this enormous dry slab and...

I have a 7 ft long x 18" wide x 4.5" thick slab of cherry that I want to incorporate into a roubo or Roy underhill French bench roubo with a tool tray. The slab is 10% MC but it contains the pith. My...

Buy a moisture meter, the ryobi pinless sold at Home Depot is actually pretty good. The reviews were mixed but mine works great. I build stuff from construction grade Douglas fir all the time. I...

Thanks, I saw that place too and saw their site is acting up. That's the place I need.

I have an 8 ft x 34" cherry table top that slipped a little in glue up so it just needs to be flattened.

Really? I've used shops in this way in Tennessee. The owner of the shop has always helped me run tables through.

Anyone? Bueller?

Thanks for the tips

I'm moving to St. Paul this month and I'm trying to find a good source for hardwood lumber. Any recommendations?

thanks...

The hock blades are fantastic. I much prefer them over the lee valley A2 blades

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that show is filmed in one long take. Things are pre-made to a point so they can show the crucial steps in 27 mins.
