Ok, Jamie, thanks a bunch. I'll look on amazon for that book. I just sharpened my bench chisels so I'll look into those other tools:)

OK, thanks a bunch guys *smile* That should help me out some.

I have tried the same approach to finishing. After brushing on oil-based poly on something vertical, I simply place it in a horizontal position to set and dry. It reduces the brush marks dramatically...

Hi, I'm not interested in carving things in general however I make wood paddles (the kind used for spanking) to sell (or sometimes give away)and I am interested in perhaps carving my initials in some...

Jim - first off, sorry to hear of your misfortune. Been there myself. :eek:

Second, as has already been mentioned, an inexpensive external hard drive enclosure seems like the logical choice here....

Ok, guys... thanks for the advice.

Since browsing through this section of the forum, I had seen several references toward pore sealers/ fillers and my knowledge of such is very limited and has induced within me a need to ask a few...

No Clint. Maybe you should move to New Mexico. It has been drier than an AA convention here. But that's not usnusual since this is an arid climate. We average .7" of rain per month and just over 8"...

Hi Steve. I was going to ask about sanding sealer but then I saw your post. Interesting. I had been wondering if I really needed to use it before finishing my red oak projects with several coats of...

Ok, thanks Lee. Gosh, I need to learn about these different types of planes. I think a band saw will be my next addition but I don't want to get too dependent on power tools. As you probably know,...

haha, good one!

I've been tinkering with the idea of submitting an occasional humor column to my local newspaper in the future. Many friends have told me I possess a talent for writing ala Miami Herald columnist,...

Thanks a bunch. I do believe a band saw and planer will be in my near future purchase plans. Sounds like best choice for me.

thanks Dave, I seem to have spaced out the profile info however I shall take care of that. So am I a creeker now? That's pretty neat! I don't know how stories will fly here although I do possess a...

Ok, good idea Jeremy. For some reason I had thought I filled in the profile info. Thanks for reminding me. I'll take care of that and I'll also take a peek at that site. Perhaps it will offer and...

Thanks a bunch Jeremy. I'm kind of embarassed to mention this but I will. I was asked by a friend who lives in the UK to make her a paddle (the kind used to spank people with *blush*). Since it was a...

Ok, thanks a lot. Yes, that is definately a down side of online ordering. One cannot see what he is buying. I have access to Lowe's and they sell 1/2" red oak which is perfect but that's the only...

Ok, thanks Brian!

I have done minor woodworking for a number of years off and on, mostly with the aid of hand tools (except for power drills) and enjoy making dado cuts with a back saw and chisel however space is a...

They range in size mostly from 3" wide to 6" wide and not more than 4' long.

I suppose I meant cocobolo and honduras rosewoods, you know, that type of thing;)

Ok, this might qualify for Newbie Question of the Week: I need 1/2" thick exotic hardwood boards of various kinds, i.e. maple, cherry, etc., for projects however, some stock is only available to me...
