I just took Rob's hand plane class at Woodcraft with 7 people in the class. Later that day taught a 4 hour hand-cut dovetails class with 6 people. The Woodcraft people told me he likes to keep his...

I feel your pain. My bench planes were a constant source of frustration and little more than paper weights. Didn't know how to sharpen, tune, or use them effectively. Finally took Rob Cosman's...

I buy tools on impulse that I think I will need some day then forget I have them when I need them and buy another.:eek: I end up keeping both thinking it's a good thing to have a spare! Does that...

I hope you're right, Steve. Bought my Leigh about a year ago and so far have just played around with it. Have some serious drawer making to do over the next couple weeks and am determined to use...

While you're checking all the good info others have given you about what clamps to look at, don't overlook Kreg components to turn your workbench into a clamping table similar to the one Kreg sells....

After trying every apron, belt and pouch known to man I found this vest at Woodcraft and really like it. Lots of conveniently placed pockets for tapes, pencils, rulers and other tools that need to be...

Timely thread. I just turned a chess set using African blackwood for the dark pieces and zebrawood for the lighter contrasting pieces. Unfinished the zebrawood worked fine, but every finish I had...

I have bought and tried every apron known to man. All are tucked away on a shelf except for this one:

I put on every...

Bill,
Thanks for sharing. I also saw the NYW episode and thought it would be nice to have a jig ready to cut circles if and when I had the need. Your jig appears to be a perfect solution.

I have the Freud SD508 8" Super Dado which is a huge improvement over the "vintage" wobble dial-a-dado that I used for years. The SD508 cuts are clean, flat, and accurate. I still continue to use the...

Tell Jonathan that I am extremely jealous! Not only with his meeting David Marks, but his craftsmanship on the chess pieces. Post some pictures when the set is complete.

I have quite of few pieces of Ridgid orange equipment in my shop and can vouch for the Ridgid planer. Been using it for a couple of years and have had no issues. It came with an extra set of knives...

I went on line at LV to get one of these things for $20 and somehow I ended up with $200 of stuff in my cart.

I just used nylon ties to attach the power cord to the vac hose. Wish the TS-55 used the same cord as all the other Festool tools I have.

You could legally change your name to Yoshikuni Masato - then there would be no issue. But in case you elect to not take that route, my vote would be to have you reinstated.

I built a jig for cutting circles on my bandsaw that Norm made on one of his shows. It cuts perfect circles ranging from a few inches to several feet in diameter pretty much as fast as you can turn...

I left them off when I first set the boom up and ended up tilting the vac over while sawing a sheet of plywood so I think I do need the weight. I move the CT22 between a sawing table, a clamping...

I recently installed the handle and boom arm on my CT22. It's a great upgrade and it certainly does what it's supposed to do - keep the hose from getting in the way. :)

My only problem with the...

Might be worth some money some day -- kind of like a double struck coin!

On second thought, send it back for a replacement.

What a fortuitous post! My MIL just asked me to build a window seat in her bay window so I too am anxious to see some designs. My design has to include extension on a floor register to direct the...

I just listen to my docked IPOD. I think TV would be too much of a distraction. I'd hate to ruin a dramatic touchdown by cutting off my finger, then bleed to death waiting for the ruling on the...

Some pen kits require two different size holes so cutting to size and drilling is required. I cut my blanks 1/8" long, glue in the tubes then sand to final size using an oscillating sander with a...

Too bad you had to clean up your shop. Probably took you a long time to get the wood chips just the way you wanted them. Now you'll have to start all over again! ...

I believe the sub-panel will have a main cut-off that shuts off power to all breakers. Shut off the main then lock the panel.

Even if you turn individual breakers off just replace them in 15-20...

I've had my Rikon for about a year. Turned several bowls and a few baseball bats and lots of pens. Thinking about a larger lathe but will undoubtably keep the Rikon for the smaller turnings.
