I have a Laguna bandsaw that I will be using infrequently for the foreseeable future.
I keep the cast iron table treated with T-9. But this doesn’t seem to do well in the Missouri heat and...

Regarding cutting and glueing back together, I’m thinking no matter how I do it I’m going to get a noticeable seam. And of course I won’t know until it’s done. True?

How long to do you let one pour dry before doing the next?

This is going to be a desk top. The ends look pretty solid. This slab was about 2 feet longer and a check was cut out of it.
I can see a hairline crack extending past the visible crack. But I...

So came out to the shop today to find an enormous crack in the slab I just bought.
I’ve seen others use butterfly keys and epoxy to fix cracks but not this big of a crack.
I’ve never done...

If you were going to shim, would you do the glue up and wait for it to dry before shimming? Or put the drawer together and fit the shims before gluing up?

Will do thanks.

Good idea. I’ll try that.

So tried some half blind dovetails for a drawer. There is a pretty good gap at the baseline. I’m not sure what I did wrong. Can I fix this or should I start over ? Thanks.

Thanks i took it appart and myk was right. The nut was frozen on the rod. I had to cut it off with a grinder. I think I will order the rod and wheel from Highland Woodworking. It looks much nicer...

I want to build a magazine rack like in the attached photo.
How would I go about making the dados that the front pieces would fit in to? Specifically, so that they line up on the two sides.
Thanks...

Looks like I will be keeping an eye on Craig's list for a drum sander. Thanks everyone.

What hat size is your drum sander?

It varies but anywhere from 3/4" to a few inches wide and 1-2' long

Wow thats neat. Thanks for the run through.

Thanks, I'll try it.

Interesting... I will try that.

Don't have a drum sander and they are pretty expensive, but it seems it would be useful... I just hate sanding so to spend money on one, not sure how I feel about that.
Mac, I have tried double...

I routinely need to mill pieces 1/8" thick and many times even thinner. I have read numerous articles and tried numerous things all with varying degrees of crappy results.
I have tried using a...

Thanks I'll try some filing

I have an older Stanley No. 5. I bought a replacement blade for it from Lee Valley http://www.leevalley.com/US/Wood/page.aspx?p=42607&cat=1,41182,43698&ap=1 ; the 2" A2 blade for Stanley/Record #4,5...

Thank for the response. The only reason I was considering the Pfeils is the review from FWW. I have been burnt on an inexpensive set before. I may just go with the LN and know I will have an...
