Thanks for the tips and links. I'll be able to come up with something from those. Just need to make sure to order a sample to try out before buying hundreds of em.
So I've just gone through and added all my woodworking magazines into clear sheet protectors and added them to binders for easy storage and labeling on my shelves in the shop. The only problem is...
Yeah, I'm not really sure what size pieces they'll send me, but I won't complain. I think I'll ask for some Curly Koa and Mango and go from there.
His name on eBay is kamuelahardwoodshawaii
So I just recently found out that my cousin that lives in Hawaii, has a sawmill and gets loads of local wood from the city, etc. He has his own hardwood business over there, along with an ebay store...
Should I attempt to anchorseal the ends when I go to pick it up tomorrow since I won't be able to process it until Saturday?
Thanks for the input so far! Here's a few pics that were sent to me

Processing Old Growth Maple tree for turnings
I'll start this out by saying that this will be the first time doing this. I've done some research and just wanted to affirm my thoughts and hopefully get some direction in a few questions.
I'm...

You can also get old versions of Sketchup. It's been a while since I've used the site, but would assume it's still safe, etc.

Wow, that is beautiful. I just finished with a Zebrawood pen and pizza cutter for my wife for mother's day. Very fun wood to work with.
Not any sort of "Fine" woodworking by a long shot, but was sure fun. I've been collecting pallets from down the street for a few weeks as my brother wanted some furniture around their fire pit, so I...
It looks like the 4" mark on your rule is off on the 22" mark of the tape. Looks to me that's what the problem is, not the tape itself?
Powermatic sent me a new base as well as a new depth stop collar as it wasn't holding when in certain spots. Everything is working great now and am really glad I picked up this DP, highly recommend...
I want to thank everybody for their input on this, it's been really helpful. As of right now, I'm seeing if I can find a reasonably priced tree service to fell the tree and then get the base milled...
It probably is. There was also some smaller darker ones laying around too, I didn't grab those because I thought maybe they were just decomposing. Maybe there's another walnut tree next to it? ...
Ok, just got back from looking at the tree again, found a few nuts from last year strewn about, grabbed a few small branches with new leaves on them (Not many down low). There was also an old branch...
Oh I've done a considerable amount of reading on how to properly air dry the lumber. I'm going to turn an area of my parent's property into the place that I'll dry it at. Still have more research...
The tree is far enough from the house that if the worst happened, a few small branches may hit the house. There's a shed behind the tree about 30 feet and the other direction is clear sailing. As...
I'll take another trip out there today and try to get a peek at the inside of the tree. But, as long as I don't pay somebody a bunch of money to down the tree (Hoping my dad can do it), the worst...
Hmm, I'm only going off of what the lady says for it being a black walnut. If most don't think it's actually one, what's the best way to actually find out what it is? There's a few limbs lower down...
So I came across somebody wanting to get rid of their standing black walnut tree for free. I instantly jumped on it and just got back a few hours ago from taking a look at it. It's about 6' to the...
Just got back from an estate sale and came away like a bandit. I ended up spending $400 and got:
Jet 6" Long Bed Jointer - JJ-6CSXW
Jet 12/36 Lathe - JWL-1236
7 Hand planes
50+ Akro-Mils Bins...
Here's an Arduino controlled table saw box joint jig that I had found a while ago:

I was just about to post this same thing. I would suggest Arduino and keep an eye out for a local Radioshack that's closing like Matt said. I was able to pick up multiple Arduino boards (Uno, etc.)...
