My wife is standing behind me and looking over my shoulder. She says to say "Wow. I want one!!" (Knowing full well I'm still about 3 years out from being able to make her one!)

Nice table! ...

First of all, let me say that the experience here is amazing!

I plan on making my first couple boards out of pine because (1) I have pine on hand, and (2) it's cheaper to "go to school on."
...

Well that would work great....if I owned a planer! (Do you think my wife will fall for the ol' "If I'm going to build this, I'm gonna need to go buy a..." trick?)

I am using a 1/8 bit and it's a...

Yeah, it's too crowded. Get rid of that planer, the jointer, and most of those clamps, then you'll have more space.

Do you need my address? :D

Hello,

I have decided to make a cribbage board (one piece projects make the joinery much easier! :rolleyes: ). Anyway, I ran a photo copy of another cribbage board to use as a template for all...

Visible screws are generally the trademark of my work--but that's because I didn't have any clamps. Well, I finally got a few--bout time since I have been tinkering with this woodworking for a year...

Is it wrong to say "I like your wife's chest"?

And what's the deal on that chair? Did you make that?

By the way, thanks everyone. Just when I am about to chuck it all, have a garage sale and go back to fishing, somebody here bails me out.

I do appreciate it. This is a fine group.

Fixed it! My fence is actually two pieces--one big section and one small section (only about 3 inches long and it sits on the far left edge). I was measuring/checking/yelling at/verifying the big...

Lucky for me it was only some pine. Besides, you never know when you might need some 3 foot lengths of pine with an 8 degree cut down one of the long edges. Heck I can think of dozens of time when I...

Now that I'm a table saw veteran (I think I've made at least 25 cuts with one :D ) I'll give you all a little tip, based on my experience: If you tilt your blade a small amount--like say 8-10...

Yeah, I am using it correctly (and no offense taken--I am learning everything as I go here, and often getting things wrong!).

Both fences are square.

I put a framing square up against one...

I have really enjoyed reading the other thread about whether a miter saw is a neccessity, but I didn't want to hijack it, so I'll ask my question here: I have a Bosch 10" SCMS and when I make long...

Hi again,

I am going to be putting together a little stand-alone shelf unit for my wife (25" tall, with 2 shelves and a top). I plan to use a dado blade on the side pieces and then put the...

Dang....that was just the coolest post! Thanks!

I had heard of the DeWalt "sprocket" problem by reading reviews at Amazon. That's why I was interested in a factory refurbished model. You get a 1 yr warranty from DeWalt, and you just have to...

Hey--that is too a "new tool"!!

By the time you're too old to bend over, lift stuff, and carry stuff, he'll be old enough to do it for you! Grandpa's little helper in the shop!

Thanks everyone--it looks like DeWalt is the winner!

Hi there,

I need help making my final decision. I've narrowed it down to one of these three:

1. Craftsman...

I posted some pics and the story at my fishing site. Here's a link:

And if you don't want to bother with the whole story,...

Ooohh, and that's the 735, not the 734...very nice! Since I've been "encouraged" by this group to acquire a planer, I've looked at that one! Great purchase!

The planer I can see would be mighty useful, but how is the jointer indispensible? (Pardon my ignorance--I really just don't have a clue when it comes to this! (I can tie a palomar knot with my...

This table only needs a top about 24" x 40" and will stand about 34" high (plus 2" for wheels). I have a table saw, a SCMS, a router/table, and an assortment of handheld power tools--circular saw,...

I recently posted and asked for help in which type of clamps to acquire (my current collection consists of two old pipe clamps). I quickly learned from your responses that there is simply no cheap...
