I am not very experienced with jointers, but I bought mine used for $250 10 years ago, and it has done everything I needed. I like it.

Thanks for the input.
I have since found a couple of plans at Woodsmith.
I s
till would welcome links to other plans.
I stumbled across the Woodpecker Universal Cross Dowel jig, and thought it looked really cool. I am very curious about using cross dowels to build knock down furniture, but I have not been able to...
Thanks, Lee!

I guess typical cabinet doors -- except some will be 42 in in height.
I think that I have seen articles that talk about tenon- modified cope and stick for extra strength. That led me to believe that the cope and stick alone may not be strong enough.

I may be interested in the bits that you are talking about. I have a powerful, adjustable speed router, so they should work for me. I would me interested in more detail about them, if...
Phillip,
I am actually in Parker ... near Ponderosa High School.
All,
I have been considering getting a cope and stick set, but I am afraid that that is not strong enough, and would want...
I have routers and a router table. I have considered using dowels (I have a Dowelmax).
I am willing to buy a set of router bits if I am convinced I will be happy with them in the long term and...
I want to make some frame and panel cabinet doors. What methods/tools do you suggest? As always, I am hoping for it to be cheap and easy ... but I don't want to skimp and have doors that will fall...

Well I can do that with one of them, but one is a turkey tray and is not rectangle and has a drip tray around the edge.
They are low-quality flat-sawn cutting boards that are splitting at the glue lines. I tried to use clamps to draw them together, but to no avail.
I think I will try to clean out the cracks and...
I have a couple of cutting boards that I have not oiled enough. The edges have started to crack. How can I fix this? Should I just fill the cracks with epoxy?
Suggestions appreciated.

You were right. The inside is only about 40 inches. I find it wide enough for my squats, but I can see that someone might want to make it a few inches wider. It can go as wide as the outer edge of...
The dogs are both Australian Shepherds.
on the inside it is about 44 inches. It is wide enough for me to do squats, but I guess it could be tight for someone who is really big.
For the weight rests: I used 3/4" galvanized pipe with a pipe cap on one end and a pipe flange on the end. I like the pipe flange, because, unlike an elbow, it doesn't matter which way it turns.
