I received a reply from Woodmaster saying that they do not have a manual for that machine, as I expected, and you correctly predicted. All I really need, though, is the length of the v belt that runs...

Thanks for the replies. I had a chance to look the machine over in a litte more detail last night, and the belt that runs from the motor to the main shaft is not the right one - its too short. That...

Thanks for the reply, Victor, it sounds like a great machine. Mine is an older unit and doesn't have the variable speed, but I wonder if it could be added? I could probably cobble something...

Does anyone know anything about a Woodmaster 612 model planer? I just picked one up from my wife's great uncle for $100, mostly because I figured I could sell it for at least that if I didn't want...

Mark,
I like your comments about letting someone know when not enough effort was put into their work. That comment reminds me of something Peter Egan wrote in Road & Track magazine, and it applies...

Thanks for the replies!

Tod - I had thought of that, but am hoping I can remove the finish myself. If I was going to do a whole house, it may be worth it, but at this point I have more time than...

Well, good news, I think. I tried some denatured alcohol and with a pad of paper towel rubbed a scrap piece, and it was definitely taking off the finish. So that means its shellac, correct? So what...

I recently became the owner of a huge pile of oak trim that came from an old factory buillding. It is white oak, mostly casing about 4" wide, and either stained a very light color, or it is natural,...

For what its worth, Lee, our bedroom set has arched raised panels above the bed and mirror on the dresser, but the bureau and the night stand have flat tops. What links them together and makes them...

How about something like this for the nightstand? You could make the one on the other bed curve in the opposite direction.

I brad nail almost everything now, and just make sure ou have a fill pencil that matches, and you'll never notice. On some real small pins, all it takes is a dab of wax to fill the hole. Just my...

Red oak has little resistence to decay, so you may want to find something that will last longer outdoors. I don't see where you are located, but near us sassafrass is inexpensive, resists decay, and...

My grandparents live in a retirement home where the dining room is a bunch of 4 x 4 pedestal tables that the staff rearranges frequently. I think the idea is a good one, and if you can get creative...

This looks really interesting, Rod. I am going to have to bookmark this thread so I can go back and refer to it when I get around to building my library bookshelves. Is this going to be attached to...

Okay, I'll vote for the one Vaughn drew. I am definitely going to keep this tape idea in the back of my brain. And maybe I'll be able to retreive it when I need it.:o

If you want to save some weight, a vertical full sheet of plywood will be no stronger than the one in this picture. Maybe you could also brace the bottom out toward the room and toward the wall a...

No recommendations, but I would love to seem more pics of those walls! Was that something you made? If not, where did they come from?

I have the router on the right side of my TS as well, and it certainly does save space, but I am looking into building a dedicated router table. Maybe I just don't plan well enough, but it seems...

I'm glad you thought of this one! We built our house in '04, and we put in lots of windows, which is nice, but there is no way to rearrange 2 of the bedrooms! Looks like its going to be a nice house....

Well, it seems that the left side has won! That is also what both LOML and I thought after looking at the sketch, though before I drew this up we were thinking the fluting would look better...


...

Well, here goes a first pass attempt at designing the surround for our fireplace. I'm still on the trial period with Sketchup, and I'm running out of time, so I have to get this right! The trim in...

I really like the style of the holder, but the shade does, in my opinion, overwhelm it a little. Unless the intention is to showcase the lampshade, with the holder secondary...
I think the way the...

About a year and a half ago :o I posted on the design forum to get feedback on my design for the window trim in my new house (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=9996)
and I finally have...

I just thought I would update this thread to show what I came up with. The picture is the finished table with the Corian top, which I just stuck to a piece of particleboard using adhesive caulk. The...

My parents have an Amish made table that expands to seat 24 people, with about a dozen leaves. The slides are wood, maybe wiht some metal or plastic in the wear parts, and are about 4 pieces that...
