+1 for Home Depot customer service. I started woodworking several years ago with a collection of Ridgid tools from HD and while I have upgraded many of my tools I still have my Ridgid 13" lunchbox...
Being able to control the speed on a scroll saw can be useful to adjust the speed of the saw relative to the packet thickness. It can also be really helpful to adjust the speed during the cut but...
Dan, Jeff: Thanks for the information - I can see I will have to check the building codes and take a look under the carpet to see what I am getting into.

We currently have carpeted stairs leading to our basement and plan to replace the carpet in the basement. I am considering upgrading the carpeted stairs to cherry hardwood to match the wood that...
My thanks to everyone for their candid and helpful replies. I was encouraged to see that many people have good results with smoothing planes, so there is something there (other than an alternative...
A few years ago, after reading a series of glowing articles on the magic of hand planes for smoothing a table top, I started purchasing a collection of smooting planes. It started with a LN #4.5 ,...
Well, unfortunately I was too late and the MM16 sold. It couldn't be helped, as I was out of the country on business travel all last week and it apparently sold on Friday. Still, I want to thank...
I would appreciate feedback and/or advice on the purchase of a used MM16 bandsaw.
I own a Jet 14” bandsaw and a large(r) bandsaw has been on my wish list for some time now. I recently came across...
I completely agree. The market was chasing Sam's work, not the other way around.

Thanks for taking the time to post this tutorial. While I had seen this before on turned bowls, mostly thin accent lines, I never appreciated what an entire figure would look like. The finished...
Please count me in too!

Someone may have already noted this, but Lee Valley carries a selection of loose tenon stock ranging from 1/4" to 1/2" in thickness and it is roughly 12" in length. The material is hardwood and has...
I agree, it is beautiful. imho, the subtle contrast between the different pieces of mahogany is actually a nice element. Over time, however, I expect the difference will be less noticeable anyway....
Not sure what you mean by small, but clamps and heavy 1" cauls are used to press veneer skins for jewelry boxes and the like (8" x 12"). For even larger projects you will need to use strips that are...
That's clever and the pictures are useful for recreating in my shop. My fingers will thank you for this!

that's beautiful, very nice work.

I haven’t posted to the forum in several months, though I continue to visit regularly to get advice and inspiration from other projects. I figured it was high time to quit lurking and post photos and...

this is one of the nicer scroll saws for marquetry work, because of the near vertical travel of the blade. i believe you will enjoy using it and after you clean it up I bet a number of folks would...
Thank you for starting this thread - this is poor customer service and I will do my best to avoid the situation by scratching them off my list for my next bandsaw.

My vote is for the scroll saw. Not only is it safer, but it's a pleasure to use - it's quiet, simple to adjust and change blades and perhaps a bit more versatile. And besides, you get a new tool...
For most of my cutting I use a well sharpened veneer saw (two cherries brand) with a straight edge to guide the cut, with hardboard or MDF underneath. For detail cutting, I use a scalpel with a...
