While I do have a 6" jointer, I don't think I will try putting the strips through it. I have to look at them and see if it is convex on one side or both. if only one, maybe some very careful table...

I have been slowly (it was supposed to be a Christmas present) working on a Wood Magazine cutting board, running into challenges here and there. The initial glue-up went awry, with a couple strips no...
sharpening, sharpening and sharpening
got the water stones for Christmas, diamondstone for my birthday (Mark II guide the year before). Chisels are looking good, starting in on a plane I have...
So far the tool that has taken me to the emergency room is a chisel. The same chisel, two weeks apart. I thought I was being very careful the second time, but the chisel zeroed in on my left hand...
How 'bout this:
The 3 on the left are northern shovelers. The next two are a mystery only because this isn't a flattering view. Two pintails and then the rest are teal, presumably blue-winged....
I have had Sirius radio for several years, but I never mounted the radio because the dashboard is so far from the power source that the cord interferes with the console controls. I made do by...
where are the boys?:D
I am a Scoutmaster with a small troop. It would take a miracle to get (some of) my boys into shape for Philmont. I'd sure like to go though.
That is definitely a saw-whet owl (I am a much more experienced birder than woodworker) and it is very likely migrating through. I found a dead one here in Carlsbad a couple Halloweens ago that must...
I looked for a key and found one: COMMON TREES ON THE FIU CAMPUS
AND IN MIAMI. I couldn't get too far since I don't have the tree to look at. If the leaves are compound with three leaflets per...
Remember this is south Florida--any number of natives or exotics from the sub tropics are possible. It isn't a mulberry, ash, sycamore, locust, mulberry or magnolia.
It reminds me of trees in a...
So far so good!

I had some maple (whew!), but I had to hit the store for more bolts. One oops where I didn't check where the table was attached to the apron.
Tightened it all down,...
Mike, I like your suggestion. I might even have enough maple on hand.
Here is a better description of the dilemma:

Ignoring the issue of legs on a mobile base, I removed the left wing of my TS3612 table saw and then measured where I should drill holes in the Rockler router extension table. Umm, there isn't enough...
After looking at the Workbench April 2006 issue about customizing a table saw insert I bit the bullet when I next walked through the door of a Rockler store (armed with a 15% off coupon). 1400 miles...
From Wikipedia (and many other sources): Although there are approximately 200 million starlings in North America, they are all descendants of approximately 60 birds released in Central Park, New...
Most importantly, I did not go to the ER this weekend. I did pick up the chisel of death, but I kept my left hand far, far away (in another thread I mentioned my two trips in two weeks due to my left...
I tried to shorten my thumb with a 1/2" chisel a couple weeks ago. My thumbnail stopped the chisel from going all the way through. There wasn't any thought besides getting to the ER. If I had used a...
Some of us live hundreds of miles from the brick and mortar stores that sell such things. I would really like to buy an accurate square so I can adjust the Incra 1000SE miter gauge that showed up on...
I didn't see this (or get my email from Amazon) early enough to call. The nearest Factory Service Center is 280 miles away (don't know how their software determines mileage. it is better than...
A couple of my wish list items disappeared today. No picture, no price, no name. It took me awhile, but I realized it was blades for my 15" bandsaw. I worried that maybe I wouldn't be able to get...
I had a bonus coming this month and thought I would get the Bench Dog table for my Ridgid saw. I am really cramped for room and cannot possibly put a free standing table in my shop. Amazon had it at...
This topic has come up before: Has anyone built the mission style sewing cabinet from Rockler?
In that thread I posted some pictures of a sewing table I built without a lift, but with a well for the...
One of the first weekends in a loooong time that I actually got some things accomplished that I wanted to do. Saturday was beautiful and Sunday was grey and rainy (which in my part of the world is...
I bought mine from that unnamed auction web site for a good bit less than 7K. I wanted one like I had in elementary school, not the plastic kind (or electric) that they sell today. I bid on a few...
Here in my little corner of the world, where the nearest refinery is 30 miles away and hurricanes are at worst six or more hundreds of miles away, some fools started spreading rumors of gas prices in...
