I've used it a bit, and kicked in money back when then developers were stumping for money as Quasado.
It's nice in that it's modeled on Macromedia Freehand, and costs less than Serif's Affinity...
The Dowl-It Model 1500 goes up to 3/4" and includes a 5/8" hole:

My apologies --- didn't want to cause any stress.
Let's see, to break it down:
OpenSCAD is a free/opensource 3D modeling program which uses basic geometric descriptions and math and programming...
I used an Ordbot for a while and worked up OpenSCAD files for a 3D printed hex bit organizer --- need to revisit that, but the file wasn't really suited to machining, needed a multi-sided setup which...
Working on this for Design into 3D:

Still working through the details of the design back-end --- it's a lualatex file which reads in the JSON from the saved preset from OpenSCAD and uses...
The problem is, as noted, the subscriber system makes it very hard to bring in new members.
I'd also argue that it goes against the very premise of openness and information interchange which the...
Anyone know of a U.S. source for the "Kuri Kuri" small brace? (I checked all the sites listed)
Highland Woodworking quit carrying it.
I am very constrained in terms of workshop space, and have a couple of smaller boxes which are about as densely packed as the Studley tool cabinet (possibly more so since there isn't any structure /...
There's also a book which I highly recommend:

You should at least look at the excerpt:...
Sketchup Make is only "free" so long as one adheres to the license terms which forbids one using it to make things which one sells.
I've had high hopes for Serif's Affinity Designer and have been using the Windows version for a while now --- I wish they'd make it more Freehand-like than it already is, but aside from the missing...
I bought Windsor Brass hinges from my local Woodcraft a while back and they were reasonable in price for something I expect to carry a load for essentially forever. Not seeing them listed on their...
Yeah, that's the problem. I could:
- hang the saw on the pegboard around my workbench in the basement laundry room --- then it's an extra trip
- store it in the traditional toolchest I picked...
Thanks!
I guess if I don't come up with a better idea between now and just before the free shipping runs out, I'll give it a try.
(The other option would be to get a folding saw, but that just...
Lee Valley has this:

which apparently is often bundled w/ a set of 4 or 5 Gyokucho saws. Just bought the 26" Ryoba from Woodcraft...
I think a lesson plan which works from the principle of there being two basic divisions of furniture:
- platforms
- boxes
would be a good basis to begin from.
Have you studied the history...
Yeah, I was very fortunate to have been able to hang out with my Great Aunt Annie Mae's bridge partner's husband, a fine cabinetmaker, who was very patient with me and my questions (wish I'd asked...
There are two listed on the Shapeoko wiki:
- LoboCNC Fretboard.exe at http://jrkerr.com/lobocnc/userapps.html
- http://efguitars.s3.amazonaws.com/fretboard-generator.html
I have a cheap clone, which I used to use quite frequently (my basement workbench is better suited to metalwork than woodwork) since I do my most of my work outside.
Picked up a "Husky Portable...
PDFcreator is free and opensource and works well:

As bitterly as I complain about the typos and the pedestrian micro-typography, Virtuoso: The Tool Cabinet and Workbench of Henry O. Studley is a wonderful, inspiring book.
There's an excerpt up on...
A person who works with their hands is a labourer.
A person who works with their hands and their mind is a craftsman (craftsperson).
A person who works with their hands and their mind and their...
As a person who lived through the "Desktop Publishing Revolution" I couldn't agree more.
FWIW, my having a CNC machine may have somewhat diminished my desire to have a planer or jointer, but it's...
Yes, I've had one each of Shapeokos since buying a v1 off eBay, getting an SO2 in exchange for doing the assembly instructions, and then an SO3 and later an XL upgrade as a thank you for working on...
