Jason: this comment caught my eye as I am learning to hand cut dovetails and truth be told, it is killing my back to bend over to do the chisel work. Any way you can describe your friend's "mini"...
Willis Lumber it is....many thanks.
I bought a bunch of poplar and red oak today at Paxton Lumber. Contrary to the common thought that they will no longer sell to individuals, the reality is that...
Does anyone know the name of a hardwood lumber company in Washington Courthouse, OH? I knew there was one many years ago but can not find a name via a google search.
I realize that a while bac...
I sure can use some advice. I setup the new PC 690LRVS with Model 1001-T2 base in the new router stand I bought from Rockler. This has an aluminum insert which I attached to the base after removing...
As promised, SketchUp file of my layouts for the assembly boxes. This shows the "original" Cutout approach, an approach using 2x4s, and the approach shown in the above message using 3" ripped...
I have been wanting to build this idea that I saw in one of the magazines several years ago. The dimensions result in a convenient way to get an assembly surface, 12, 24, or 36 inches high. The...
The Kreg pocket rocket end guide comes off easily and allows mounting the jig to a board. The attached will serve my needs for now; much better than the previous juggling I was doing. True, no dust...
Thanks to all for their perspectives. I recognize the K3 new features, but the $100+ can go for some other tools I need more if I can find a way to improve the efficiency of the rocket jig. I...
Can you help me out. I have Kreg drills, clamps, and a "pocket rocket", and I am starting to do more PHJ (not a business however). I would like to get something like the K2000 jig to make clamping...
Al: great blog (although in my Opera, the text and pictures rendered below the bottom of the screen and I originally thought you had no content----probably my browser but maybe your code??)
...
Can anyone tell me where and when there might be a woodworking show within several hours drive of Cincinnati? Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Ind, Louisville, Ky. are possible locations. Any time of...
This is an area I have not tried nor read a lot about. What are options for creating decorative drawer fronts? I am especially interested in approaches you all have taken if you make the drawer...
I might say they are side "bench dogs" but it does not appear there is a vise at the end which would be used to clamp against the bench dogs inserted in the holes. I have these on the bench I use...
John: that is a great tutorial. Your use of the scenes and layers made it especially effective. Much easier to do than I had first imagined. Chris's approach to a script driven process would be...
Searching has not helped me so I thought I would ask outright.
How do you guys make your viewing and reviewing all of the topics and messages efficient?
I have learned about the User CP which...
Well, thanks. From your message I went back and tried push/pull, and oh, so easy.
I am somewhat confused by the terminology of the spaces between the tails -- it can't be the pin because the...
Chris: for the tutorial/learning task I am just trying to copy a dimensioned drawing from an old copy of Woodsmith. Actually these are for a hand made dovetail and thus have 14 degree angles, with...
Don: your model is neat, and half blind at that, making me realize that I have more work to do.
I have successfully modeled a full dovetail (actually just the tail side) but I am going slowly and...
Has anyone already drawn in dovetails in SU? Can you share a model in which you have done this? It would be nice to reapply someone's templates before spending the time to create some myself. If...
Great advice. Regarding not gluing in the panel---this would permit less precision in achieving a "slip fit" between panel and groove.
Several days away from trying one....
Thanks.
Rick: can you expand on why you consider the T-track and mitre track to be "miserable"? Does it relate to weakening the top and thus contributing to the sag? Won't you lose some functionality...
The stub tenon and groove method is what I had in mind when I asked the question about the length of the tenon. Thanks for the amplification. I found an article on it in ShopNotes V#5, and the...
John: I am embarrassed as I did not look back here for a reply (the email subscription thingy does not work for me). I have been hanging out in the general area and just forgot to come back here and...
While slightly off the original question in the thread, this is related: I have seen some designs with a sloped bottom to the chamber where the router hangs. The slope is usually toward the back...
