Well, I have the shorter system. I have room to the right side. I think the problem is that I have the router table flipped so the router is to the right side of the table and under the lock lever....

You will love the Incra. I sure do. I have had it for years. The only thing I would change is the the router setup. I have my router on the right side of the saw. This required flipping the...
Thanks yall.
The wood is poplar. A medium gouge is what I was using. I am trying to use very light pressure. I already cleaned up the tear out as best as possible so a picture is not possible. ...
I am turning some feet for a bunkbed. I used the attached picture as a guide and the 1st two came out well except for on particular cut I am having trouble keeping the tool from catching the and...
This is bad news, I am just about to start doing the same mortise work.
If I do it between centers, how do I deal with the top finials where there will be a hole from the point? The finials between the beds & on the feet won't matter of course. Thanks.
Are there...
I have not thought thru using a tenon yet but this makes sense. In your example of using a faceplate with a stub tenon, I assume the tenon is from the post and not the fenial?
I am guessing...
Yes, faceplate.
I am building a bunk bed and need to turn 16 finials. This will definatley be the biggest turning project I have done. I have a Jet mini that should do just fine.
My question relates to the...
Ok, so you have found that even though the "raising" is shallow, it still looks ok? I was thinking I would try to make the panels 7/8 if possible or 3/4 and then raise them.
We are going to do...
See the picture. I see now why the manufacturer put the slats on the panel rather than a raised on both sides.
How can I do a raised panel on both sides. I was going to use a rail & stile set...
Another question: I realize now that I probably need to do a cove router cut on both sides of the panels. Any issue in this?
Working on deciding on how to accomplish some parts of this project.
1. Posts - It looks like each post has 8 bullnose trim pieces. Agree? I was thinking 3/8" or 1/4". Not sure. How would I...
Thanks. I would do birch but it is not available at any of my supplies in anything other than plywood.
After all of this...... I think we are going to choose poplar. I want to make the beds and with the color that my wife wants I don't think it is wise to pay alot for another hardwood and then stain...
I did some searching on lyptus and it definately looks like a good option especially at $2 bf. I am awaiting a return call from the CL poster. It does not say if it is rough or not. I want to work...
That is an excellent point. I would do cherry but she does not want to wait for it to be darker and I think she wants it darker more like the picture below anyway.
I will check into the chipmunkhardwoods. That is quite a drive and may or may not be worth it.
Someone else mentioned lyptus. I found this post on craigslist.
lyptus hardwood for 2...
Good idea on Craigs List. Thanks. I have seen hardwood available there as well but never at the right time.
Thanks for the comments on douglas fir.
Part of the trouble is availability of wood. Here in FL, I don't think we get alot of options because there aren't many hardwoods that grow anywhere nearby...
Would douglas fir be an option to consider? Not hardwood but it would cost alot less and easy to work??
Here is the picture of what I am patterning after. This is going to be the biggest project...
I am about to embark on a project to build some bunkbeds. Most of my projects have been out of cherry but I am looking to not spend quite so much.
My wife would like to stain to a dark...
I had the same issue. I used some stiff 1/2" foam and duct tape and made some soft caps. I did this on my jointer as well. The kids have bumped the caps I made a few times and they just bounce off...
Call Woodpeckers. Most have had excellent dealings with them. Likely they will satisfy you.
I don't know any reason why not to choose NiMH except for the cost. If you will be wanting to replace the DeWalt tools within or less than the time that the NiCd batteries will last then that...
