Oh, good. Then you can certainly afford to send me one! :D I think I'm gonna stick with the rockler. Still on the fence, so to speak, between the plate only and just buying the table top with...

If you need to pull it out of the creek anyway, it's probably worth it. Is there a sawyer near your bro-in-laws? It may be easier to tranport the cut boards, than the whole log. but maybe not -...

I'm sure this is quite short sighted, but I don't see me needing to run any huge bits anytime soon. But, if the need arose in the future would it not be possible, to raise the router quite high, so...

"later" is likely several years from now, based on the way things tend to get done around these parts...

That said, my further research has me leaning towards the smaller aluminum rockler plate -...

Hello,

Anyone have any recommendation on a router plate for a Dewalt 618 router? I think maybe my next project should be to cobble together a servicable router table. I'm looking for the perfect...

Thanks for the tips guys. I know this jointer style has a reputation for being a PITA, but it was a good price, and better than nothing - which is what I had previously. The blades, based on a very...

This is not mine (stole the pic from a certain auction website), but it is the same model and similar condition. No, well, actually mine's not as rusty, but it is a fairly rusty, and much dirtier -...

Ah, yes. The google! good tip! Thanks!

Two more notes: The wood is myrtle - really cool looking streaky grain.

I also have some concern about the several hundred holes in the board. I don't want something too "goopy" that is going...

[I tried to search for this, but BLO is too short a word, apparently, and is only very rarely spelled out here...]

I've been a fan of Paste Wax over BLO for a while - easy, looks good, I don't...

I am TOTALLY going to try this. If it works, Joe, you will be my hero. :D I will probably sand down to a super fine grit rather than scrape, though, as I've had trouble with scraping in the past -...

:cool:

I'm fairly set on marking the board. I like the idea of keeping a running tab (number of wins, total points, etc.) of how badly my wife has beaten me over the course of a year, or...

Update:

I bought the punches, and frankly I'm disappointed with the results. As I was warned here by Steve and others, they are quite variable, and just don't look that good - either crooked, or...

After I posted, I had the same thought as Jonathan - just using a black paint to fill in the letters/numbers - assuming the punch kit works fairly well to define the characters in the first place. I...

I'm making a cribbage board. I have the holes drilled, and would like to mark the board in a few spots (theres a row of holes for wins, skunks, keeping track of points, etc.). At first I had thought...

That OSU link looks to have what you might need, but if you are googling for more info, use "Biltmore stick" as your search term, as that is what they are typically called. I use one practically...

Actually I wasn't very clear ;) Im envisioning a router out compartment, maybe 1' by 3" at one end of the board. It would have a wood (not metal) lid, maybe 1/4" thick that sits in the compartment...

I bought the magnets from this place, which lists a pull force for the magents they sell. I wasn't planning on recalcuating the figure, especially after your description of how it's done! But I...

Hello,

I'm working on a cribbage board, and plan to put a a little compartment in the bottom to hold the pegs. I was planning on using rare earth magnets to hold the 1/4" (or so) thick door in...

I was wondering if I can use this router table with a Dewalt 618 router. The website says it works with any Craftsman router, so I'm skeptical. Also, I don't know where I would get a replacement...

AFter reading that, maybe I will rethink my approach to drilling. The awl technique makes good sense. My wife could zip out a custom CAD drawing for me in no time, I think, that I could use in the...

I'm no help to you either, but a cribbage board is my next project. I've got the wood chunk planed and smooth and pretty, and I think I have my hole spacing figured out. I just need to get drilling....

Hello,

It's been a long time since I've posted here. Unfortunately, it's been a long time since I've spent any significant time in the shop. Uncomfortably hot weather, a newish daughter (now 8...

I like this idea, and may use it next time. I've been using a straight board taped to the work piece and jointed with a flush cut router bit. This technique looks much quicker, and doesn't involve...
