Cliff,

Behlen Qulasole is my finish of choice for many projects. I learned the process from a high quality luthier in Richmond and will share what he taught me. I haven't reached his level of...

Steve,

I really don't know what a fair price for this piece is. I bought a five horse-12 inch Foley-Belsaw about six months ago that was hardly used with the gang saw and moulding attachments new...

Jeff,

I have purchased presentation boxes from Ken Nelson and recommend him highly. Ken did some custom engraving for me that was beautifully done and well received by the recipient. Cost is also...

Many thanks to Bill and Lisa for their gracious hosting of "Five Barns". I met and enjoyed conversation with many people from across the US.

All of you know that Bill Grumbine is a great...

Jim,

Beautiful pens. I really like the two tone Amboyna burl, however I cannot keep them from cracking after finishing. I just completed two Amboyna pens using the Baron and Sedona kits as shown...

Craig,

I just purchased a 20 year old 5 horse 910 model a few weeks ago. It was used very little and only as a planer. With it came the gang saw, new planer blades, and all accesseries still...

Bernie,

Sent you and e-mail.

For me, this is a choice between FWW and Wood. I do have a complete set of Wood from inception in 1984, as well as the complete set of Wood's Weekend Woodworker. Both sets in pristine condition....

Three years ago I purchased a Delta 580 2 spd planer. Didn't use it often, maybe 100 bd ft. and never could get it to run efficiently. Replaced the belt and got new brushes, but apparently this was...

Robert,

I wouldn't begin to speculate as to why you received the poor service from In-Line. I purchased my first Dubby in January 89 and can say it is one of the most used tools in my shop. It is...

A friend contacted me today and ask if I would be interested in purchasing his 20 year old F/B 18 inch planer. He said it works fine, and has the moulding and sanding heads (still new in box) with...

Travis,

I just picked up platinum pen kits very similar to this one at Woodcraft this week. I believe they were on sale with a 30% discount.

Kirk,

I picked up a Grizzly drum sander last week from Overnite. Grizzly suggested that I inspect prior to delivery. When I informed the Overnite person loading the machine, he said the rules...

Carl,

There is a reproduction company on the eastern shore in Denton, Maryland called Bartley Antique Reproductions that sells kits of 18th century furniture.

They sell lumber a couple times...

Stu,

Great pictures. Brought back memories of my visit to the Shinto Shrine in Tokyo several years ago. We observed a wedding the day at the Shrine and was impressed with the beauty of the...

Steve,

What an excellent gift for your friend! I agree with Jim that the frame should not be the main point here, but highlight the message of the picture. It does!
Mats and frames should...

Keith,
I thought there was a swap meet scheduled in Hayes the weekend of May 6.
Changed/cancelled/not scheduled?
Bill Sampson

Cliff,
My first response upon reading your thread was "total surprise". I have owned the D-4 since 2000 and cannot relate to any of the deficiencies you write about. Any problems I faced with this...

Dennis,

I have the set of plans from Wood Magazine and will bring them with me Wednesday evening.

Bryon,
The Fredericksburg program was on Richmond Comcast PBS channel 24 at 1:00 pm. It will play again next Sat. at 10:30 am on Richmond Comcast PBS channel 23. Sorry you missed it; some good...

fRED,

Very nice table!! You just scored big points with your FIL.

Bartley gel varnish is also an excellent pre-stain base for their gel stains; especially on cherry. It will prevent blotching. Lay on the gel varnish, rub in, and while still wet, apply the gel...

Rob,

You have set the "bar" at a high level for those who want to accomplish quality work. Your pieces are beautiful!!

Carl,

Is your tall clock a replica of the the one built for the Colonial Wmsburg seminar last January? I assume you will be here again this year. Are SMC members going to get together with Keith...
