I don't get it. I have planed thousands of feet with my 735 with nothing but great results. You need a sharp set of blades or it will not cut well at all. I can easily take 1/16" off of 6 inch oak...

You'll definitely need some ball bearing hinges for that beast.
I love the cabinet too.
Now that is Coollllll!!!! I bet that was a blast to build. Way to bring back your childhood memories.
mine is also a screamer. my hearing isn't what it used to be anyways so its not so bothersome to me.
It is going to yellow regardless of what you put on the surface.
I really like this one! The dovetailed carcass really sets it off.
Thank you Sean! I will post pics of it once I have it trued up an running smoothly.
I just picked up a #5 for free, and it is in great shape. With the exception of the broken lever cap it is in pristine shape and will be a definite keeper in the shop. If anyone has a levercap they...
I too am in the school of thought that you will have problems with that top due to the grain orientation. After a few seasonal changes in humidity I think that it will crack on you. There needs to be...
Glue ups need to happen in warmer weather plain and simple. I use titebond daily and have literally gone through hundreds of gallons of it. I advise against using it if it has frozen solid. It's not...
Thank you for all the positive feedback. John I uploaded the images as you asked. Now I need to get started on a plan for the rest of the bedroom furniture. My son's due date is May 14!
This is the first piece of furniture I have built for my soon to be born son. I decided to try a bit different style for his bedroom set than I did for my daughters set. I borrowed from the look of...
Well I can now guess my ultimate fate short of being in a fatal accident. I might think about a better dust collection system than my old canvas bag delta system now......
First off, coat the ends with anchorseal, latex paint, or even old wood glue to keep it from checking. You also need to sticker the pile so air can get to the boards and to prevent mildew from...
Instead of running the board through the planer on a sled I just shim the board on a flat sled with side rails on it. Then I have a dedicated router that has a 12" plywood plate as a base that I use...
I would try putting a few cauls and clamps on it to straighten it out. I think your main problem it that it is too humid in the shop, and the moisture is making the top move on you.
John, great work as usual. I really like the contrast and style of the laminated shelf.
Looks great! Now it's time to redo the fireplace surround to match. It looks way too understated next to those awesome hutches.
I'm with James on this one. I love to tinker also, but I feel as though no matter how much you tinker, you'll end up with a system that won't really work well. Save up and keep an eye on craigslist,...
I use a planer sled for face jointing wide boards. What I use is a 3/4" thick piece of baltic birch ply with 2" tall by 3/4" thick sides made of straight grained maple. I put the piece on the sled...
Oak that thick will take 5-6 years to air dry around here( in the midwest), so I would suggest maybe 2-3 inches max unless you have access to a kiln.
I'm with you Donald. I run xp sp1 on my old laptop since it is basically a machine for running only one program, and it doesn't go online. My other pc that I built runs xp with all the updates. I...
Dave, I hear what you are saying about ford. I have a 99 e350 with the crappy modular v8 in it. Well guess what. That model engine has known issues with the engine blowing its spark plugs out the top...
I have the marples chisels and love them for banging out dovetails. I wonder if yours are just not hardened properly as previously stated.
Dennis has the right idea. I'd really hate to see that end up going up a chimney!
