I didn't think about using the draw knife and spoke shave. that's a good idea because I'm not sure how much I'd use a $200 bow saw after this project.

The half round log steps above this railing...

Thanks for confirming. I guess I have to decide whether the Highland or Gramercy option sill work better for coping logs.

Hi,

I'm looking for a Woodjoy bow saw that I see mentioned quite a bit on here. Is it possible they went out of business?

I'm looking to cope some 4" diameter log rail spindles into curved...

Hi,

I picked up a big slab of curly Box Elder yesterday with beautiful red streaking. This will be used for a kitchen table top. I understand that it will fade to brown eventually but I would like...

Lift is sold.

The Incra Fence, Table, and cabinet are still available.

I decided to go a different direction with my router table setup. This package is complete and ready to run once you add a router, all instructions and templates are included. Save money and the 4-5...

We bought this for a large project based on seeing some samples. Just a few ounces in my wife decided she didn't like the sheen. This is just a couple months old and has at least 95% of the volume if...

Hi,

I know there's a ton of comparison threads for router tables but most focus on the lifts themselves. I'm interested in the fence differences. The Jessem TA looks nice and it's all aluminum...

Thanks for all the responses, the link to Highland was especially helpful.

I'm finishing a project with Waterlox in the shop right now so it'll be a few days until I can get out there and start...

Hi,

I've made quite a few drawers over the years with a 12" porter cable dovetail jig. I just received a new D4R Pro and although the user manual is excellent there isn't too much on the layout of...

I played around trying to get an order through for the 1/2" and 3/4" chisels, was hoping for quite an upgrade from my old Craftsman. Finally got the order through for a 3/4" chisel, saw the...

Thanks Jim, I didn't think there would be any issues since they're essentially the same thing but you never know!

Prashun, I agree with everything you said. My question still remains though, can I put a coat or two of waterlox over my home made wiping varnish with no ill effects?

Thanks

I recently made a piece out of cherry and finished it with a wiping varnish I mixed up out of 1/3 BLO, 1/3 Helmsman Poly, 1/3 mineral spirits.

It was my first time using it and I like the look,...

Wow, thanks for all the responses, there is a lot of info to digest here.
I'm still leaning towards pre hung since this will be on my 3 year olds room and it would be great if I could be finished...

I made an interior door out of Sassafras that ended up being 1 3/4" thick because of the stock I had. That went well but I think that was the easy part.

I'm intimidated by mortising the hinges...

Yeah, option #1 pretty much went out the window when I actually saw it in person. I should have probably left it there but I like something about it.

The top is actually one big slab of wood, not...

I'm starting to think more seriously about building a new Shaker or Moravian Workbench and was looking at CList for something else and this popped up. I was half hoping that it would be in good...

Good idea.

I'm still trying to decide on hinges. I think I have severely limited myself by making the face frames 3/4" thick, so I think I can only use a 1 1/2" butt hinge. I am looking for weight...

Thanks Bob, I found the article, I'll take a look and try to find some quality butt hinges.

I bought a used Incra Twin Linear system a few years ago and I know the gentlemen produced quite a few drawers with it over the years.

While I've used the router table a lot, today was the first...

Thank you all for the responses, I think I might have missed the notification that I got any responses at all. It's pretty neat that the book author will respond here.

Anyway, almost a year later...

I ran two 10" Ash boards through the planer and my wife liked them laid out on the floor so we're going to go ahead.

Nails aren't a problem. I ordered 50 lbs of Tremont rosehead nails last night....

Thanks for all the comments both for and against.

I already have a flooring nailer and a floor jack from doing previous installations. Had to use the floor jack a lot when installing cheap Bruce 2...
