Stabila. No comparison.
I going to remodel my family room in either cherry or walnut. My preference is cherry, but I'm concerned that cherry will darken unevenly, particularly where surfaces are covered some or much of the...
I'm in the market for a molding machine. I understand the Williams and Hussey is the pick of the crop. However, this world is full of compromises (mostly price versus quality). Does any one know...
I had a Ryobi model. They can be bought from time to time for $100 or less and are excellent. For that price it is a steal. I now have a Powermatic, which is now sold as the Jet model. The Ryobi...
Price increases are inevitable the way I see it. I don't see how inflation can be avoided. :eek::eek: If we don't see inflation in 2010, I can't imagine escaping it in 2011.
I built one out of lexan. I cut little pieces to fill in all the gaps and steps so it fit very nicely on the chip breaker. All the pieces were glued together. Then I used a floor sweep on top for...
I used to own one and used it mainly for the drill press. But it can do many things no other tool can do easily (horizontal boring, sanding a piece to a perfect circle, overhead routing and...
I agree with the others in that it looks like pine to me, but based on the clsoeness of the grow rings, it might be the "old growth" pine. The old growth stuff is far better looking that todays...
Hi guys,
I need to have some knobs for a mirror turned and I need them fairly quickly. It's really not urgent, but I do need tham ASAP. The knobs are 1 3/16 inches long and 2 1/8 inces wide. This...
It seems the new routers that allow you to adjust the height from the bottom side make router lifts obsolete and are a lot cheaper than buying a lift and a router. It seems that you have full accesss...
perhaps sycamore. Sycamores have birch like bark, but it large patches of white. The seed balls are about 1 1/4 inch in diameter.
I used shellac cut about 50% with alcohol to treat the pine, followed by light sanding.
The stain is oil based (mineral spirits based), custom cherry flavor mixed by my local Porter Paint store to match my cherry kitchen cabinets when used on pine.
I made some corner trim (out of pine) and stained it. I'm ready to move ahead with a polyurethane finish, but the stain hasn't fired in almost two weeks. What do I do now? What is the likely outcome...
I have both Besseys and Cabinet Master. I can clamp two pool table balls togeter only with the Besseys, indicating that the jaws on the cabinet master are not really parallel. The amount of error...
I had a Powermatic 12 inch disk/ 6x48 belt sander. It was ok and I used it regularly. I now have a Sunhill 6x108 oscillating belt sander and love it. I occasionally use it to sand a surface smooth,...
For some reason I am the proud owner of two radial arms saws. (Don't ask how I got to own two, but I do admit, greed was involved.) One is the 12 inch Delta turett model just like Norm uses. The...
I have a 40 year old Craftsman version of this cutter and I have been happy with it. Te cutter can be positioned two ways. One gives you a smooth cut out. The other gives you a smooth hole. You...
Hi Brian. I've got a Delta 12 inch RAS I want to ge t rid of but haven't advertised it yet. It's the same model that Norm uses on the New Yankee Workshop. IUt is very solid. I'll send a PM with...
A radial arm saw with the head rotated so that the blade was parallel to the table would do it. I'd make a special sled to ride on the surface and front edge of the table. Needless to say - be...
Thanks Sean. That's the sled! The article I saw was about the construction. I just did a google search for "vacuum sled thin strips" and got two sites on constucting it. Here they are if anyone...
Notice my adroit use of mis-spellings as an attention getter?
A short time ago I read about a jig for cutting thin strips. It consisted of a long box that slid along the table saw fence support and moving a the source piece of wood. The box was attached to a...
Very nice. Add me tp the list please.

I usdd to have a lathe (Delta/Rockwell) with a 1/2 hp motor on it. htat is what I did my biginning turning on. I'd get annoyed at times when my tool (usually a skew) would stick and stop the wood...
