Well I guess I can. Thanks Ernie.

Yup! set the jig to match the blade! :)
Matching curves for cutting boards- The reason the pieces won't mate and you can't successfully use almost all of the techniques suggested in this thread is simple geometry. You especially can't...
I have a Reelcraft reel with Flexeel hose (I replaced the rubber hose) and a Rockler 120V cord reel with tri-tap outlet at the end of the cord. Both are mounted to the ceiling over my assembly...
Start your post. Put your cursor where you want the photo, then click on the "Insert image" icon in the tool bar (3rd from the right). That will open a dialogue box. Select "From computer" then...
No photos, didn't happen! :D
Don't give up so easily, if you want dog holes!
Once you have added heavier skins to the door, drill oversize holes 1-1/4" or 1 1/2" in diameter all the way through the door and both skins...
That should work just fine.
I did not, but suppose it could be done. I would recommend using glue with an extended set time.
However you approach the glue-up, you will need a flat construction platform. You won't get a...
Boy that is a lot of talk and drawings for a non-problem!! He could have built any thickness torsion box and attached it to the outfeed of his Sawstop using a spacer made from wood to rest on the...
There is no reason you can't make a hybrid- use more closely spaced, and possibly thicker, webs (1/2" or thicker MDF* or wood) around the periphery where you might be clamping, then 5" to 6" spacing...
I wrote a two-part illustrated article about my adjustable height assembly table for American Woodworker many years ago. In the article I discuss a little bit of the theory and construction...
It certainly has its place as do other joints especially when using long miters on table legs, etc.- the advantages- increased glue surface and stronger miter joint over a standard (non-splined)...
For sure the lock miter bit can be a bugger to set and since it is large, a bit intimidating to use.
The setup blocks provided by some bit manufacturers will work, but only if the stock is the...
Oh the stories I could tell about Laguna- not from a customer standpoint, but as a designer/consultant. They contacted me about designing widget for them. What I came up with beat the specs of...
Yes, I still have the Uni-fence assembly front rail. It is about 83" long and the older style. See my post on page one for the photo that shows the difference between the new and old ones- it only...
28 blast gates! Wow, you must have a blast gate or two at every branch wye, in addition to one on each machine. FYI, no need to put blast gates everywhere, especially where each branch joins a...
I don't remember any sort of chip-breaker. I think what you are seeing is a chip deflector. In fact, now that I think about it, I'm certain is a chip deflector because I put a Shelix head on the...
Wow, this thread goes back a long time!!!
I'm happy to report the "secret boxjoint jig" was introduced to the market in early 2012 as the INCRA IBOX. It was and still is the best box joint jig...
*This is a point many folks don't realize about a dual drum sander! You waste either the fine grit on the coarse passes or the coarse grit drum on fine passes.
The (only?) benefit to two drums...
Back when the Powerlift was purely analog (gear motor with digital height gauge. I've easily modified my INCRA lift to do that), I made a proposal to Woodpeckers to design a stepper motor driven...
Check out SiteOne Landscape Supply (used to be John Deere Landscapes who went nationwide years ago by buying up smaller landscapers, before they got bought out themselves and changed their name). JD...
I have been a member here since 2003 and Badger Pond before that, as well as a number of other woodworking forums. I can proudly say, like many in the day, I was also temporary banned from Badger...
Remember, epoxy is a structural adhesive used in many stressing applications, aircraft for example, so the manufacturers frown on adding anything that might possibly lessen its strength and bonding...
I built my own adjustable bench. It is rock solid and has worked superb for many years- the top no longer looks this nice, however :)
