I don't think you will find off the shelf divider insert covered with fabric to fit the size you may need. But you can probably get the watch pillows in a variety of fabrics. For jewelry box...

It may be more economical to go with a thinner glass and set it in a wood frame. I like the looks of the wood frame and you can use standard shelf pins.
I have designed and drawn all of my woodworking project. As a mechanical engineer, I have learned that proper planning is the key to success. The whole build process tends to go much smoother. ...
I used a carbide flush trim spiral router bit in my router table to make back-up dovetail templates from 1/2" thick T6061 aluminum. I first placed the template on the blank and scribed the dovetail...
I have had my Jet planer for 6 years. Like you I have tried several things and have just decided to live with it. I either leave about 3.5" on each end of the board or I run my good board butted...
Have you tried contacting Oneida? It sounds like a bad starting capacitor or running capacitor on the motor.
The noise is a result of the increased air flow and the chip delfector. Something to do with the airflow and the blades/chip breaker quickly passing eachother. From the factory the chip delfector is...
Here are a few of my thoughts:
If your dust collector is capable of pulling 500 cfm and you port it into a sealed enclosure, you are going to get no flow. You need to allow opening(s) in your...
Several companies offer extruded aluminum profiles and systems. They really don't give this stuff away. Sounds like a good opportunity. The uses are endless. Do a search for 8020, Bosch, and Item...
Have sharp blades and take light passes.
I usually try to orient the grain for best appearance as opposed to the grain direction. I don't typically have an issue with chipout once I get to the...
When making glue-up panels I:
1. Cut rough lumber to length plus extra
2. Joint one face and one edge
3. Rip to width(s)
4. Joint ripped edge(s)
5. Glue up to 13" wide max
6. Clean up glue...
I am not familiar with Norm's sled but:
1. Make sure the edges of the board you are cutting are parallel. Measure the width at the front and at the back and see if they are the same.
2. Check...
At our business everything without wheels is anchored due to our safety consiouness. I just think it is odd not to have a means to anchor a table saw. While setting up the saw today, I noticed that...
I received a SawStop that I will be installing at work. So this is in no way a gloat. I noticed that the base has no means of anchoring it to the floor. The cabinet has an enclosed bottom with no...
My first tablesaw was the Dewalt portable about 9 years ago. I really enjoyed using that saw. The rack and pinion adjustment on the fence was accurate and never moved from parallel after I...
Before I bought a jointer, I started out edge jointing on my router table. I had a benchdog fence that you could install two "jointer" bars behind the outfeed fence to offset it from the infeed...
I am investigating replacing the fence on an old model 351 12", 3Hp Craftsman tablesaw. It is used primarily for cutting lexan sheets. The two questions I have are:
What companies offer...
I threw that same idea around in my head one day. You would need a high volume low pressure gun to start with if you do not have one. Then you would need a blower sized correctly to provide the...
I redid our deck a few years ago with Trex. If you shop around you may be able to get a good price. I got quotes from two local vendors. Then I went back and forth to each and drilled them down on...
About 5 or 6 years ago I purchased my current router table set-up. It consists of a Woodpecker PRL, PC7518, Woodpecker Router Table Top (24"x36"), Benchdog Cabinet (old style), and Benchdog 32"...
I took a propane tourch to the tip and slowly warmed it up and got it cherry red hot. Then I cooled it fairly slowly. Then it went into the oven for a while at around 350 degrees. I looked up heat...
Alex,
I have steel available at work. But you can purchase it from many suppliers. McMaster-Carr and MSC Industrial Supply are a few suppliers. I used 3/16" thick x 1/2" wide piece. At the tip I...
Means are available to the average woodworker to measure particulate matter in the air. I have used a few at work that are quite accurate that I can expand upon. One was a hand held real-time dust...
This is a marking knife that I made to try something new and because I had a need for one. I had been using my pocket knife for marking but it didn't feel like the right tool for the task. This...
I shop at Wall Lumber for a majority of my wood needs. They are about 30 minutes drive from home. So, I have the luxury of hand picking my boards. But, I have been in the shipping side of the...
