Thanks for all the input, I think I'm going to pattern something after the one the guy with the older Ridgid saw made. Thanks again for taking time to post!
I've got a Ridgid R4511, the granite top saw, which I've upgraded with the Biesemeyer clone fence and rails that the comparable Craftsman saw sold with. It's a direct bolt on and a HUGE improvement...
Thanks for the info, all worthwhile suggestions. Also good to know that Tung oil isn't Tung Oil. I had no idea.
Good morning-
I need to darken the color of some nightstands I made in order to match a bed we just purchased. The original finish is a Minwax gel stain topped with several coats of Formsby's...
Again, thanks for all the responses, I didn't expect that level of input...sounds like maybe I was underestimating my "technique", and maybe it's plenty adequate...on the other hand, I might try the...
Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it. Looks like I'll save the knives on the jointer thanks to you.
How do you guys get a crisp, perfectly straight edge on sheetgoods, like plywood to be used for a book case where you'd attach a hardwood faceframe or hardwood strips on the front edge of shelving? I...
Thanks, I saw that right AFTER I posted, of course!
Hi-
I have an opportunity to buy a Conestoga bandsaw that the seller claims is a 13". I suspect it's actually a 14" Chinese Delta copy, but am curious if any of you know anything about that name...
I have a Milwaukee 12" sliding compound miter saw that I'm very happy with. It is properly adjusted and now has a Freud LU85R012 blade on it, which was a considerable upgrade over the LOWES CMT blade...
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply! Being a relative novice, I think I'm going to give the Miller dowels a shot...though I love the idea of making my own,I have a feeling that, at this...
I'd like to try making pinned rabbet drawers for a project I'm working on. Fine Woodworking did an article on them in the Dec 2009 issue, but doesn't specify where to get pin/dowel material except to...
Thanks so much for all the input, you all have given me plenty of ideas and options to consider. If I manage to come up with something I'll post a pic. Thanks again!
Thanks for everyone's thoughts! Where can I find the Biesemeyer system? If it's the one I'm thinking of, I'm not sure it's compatible with my 12" slider, the product description says 10" slider or...
Greetings to everyone!
I'm in the process of planning a miter saw workstation so that I can have some easy repeatability with cuts utilizing a fence and stop system instead of relying on the less...
Good Evening-
I've gotten so much great information here that I'm glad to finally be able to contribute something. I bought a Ridgid R4511 table saw when they were on clearance at HD a few months...
Good Morning-
I've searched both google and sawmillcreek looking for an aftermarket supplier for planer knives for the Ridgid TP1300. It could be that there is no such thing, but I thought I'd...
I'm considering buying a Ridgid R4511 as it seems to meet all my requirements except my need (want?) to have 48 inches rip capacity to the right of the blade for halfing sheet goods. I have an old...
Good Evening-
I've had great success using a piece of Melamine shelving (from Lowes) with a simple hardwood cleat secured with countersunk screws at one end for a planer sled to surface rough cut...
Thanks to all who replied to yet another jointer adjustment question. To follow up, I set all the knives (again, this time with my new Christmas Jointer Pal), which solved the ridges and generally...
Thanks for the reply. I saw the same answer you provided in a few other places online immediately after I posted my question. I don't know how I've been able to make setting the knives so hard, but...
Good Evening Creekers,
I've done a search on this topic, but didn't find anything especially relevant related to jointer snipe. -Plenty on planer snipe, but not jointer snipe. I'm having...
Good Evening-
I'm almost done with the cherry lingerie cabinet in Wood Magazine a few issues back. The drawers are constructed with a locking lipped joint (not sure what its actual name is)...
Good Morning-
I'm thinking about using that prefab laminate countertop that Lowes or HD sells as the extension tables on a sliding mitersaw station I'll be constructing soon. I'm thinking the...
