Just had the same thing happen with the same kind of bandsaw. Fortunately I had gotten another set of tires from Grizzly a while back to replace a tire I had broken but only used one of them. I'm...

What about January 23, 2045? 012345

You might try IRS (Industrial Recovery Services) Auctions http://www.irsauctions.com/ While I haven't participated in any of the auctions I follow them and have seen some very good deals on...

I just had 13 White Oak logs quarter sawn. When they’re milled one of the pieces I’m left with are the butts from the trunks. Some of these are rather large and thick.
Does anyone have a suggestion...

I used wood - WRC - paddles for my flatwater kayaks for years and never treated them at all. To the OP's question, If you're going to leave the axe outside I would suggest treating the head before...

We've always had well water and septic tank.

For water, you're right...no power, no water. Unless your power goes out frequently and for long periods of time, this isn't too much of an issue. My...

Squirrel REPELLENT?!? You're kidding, right? The best I can hope for is to scare them enough from digging out the potted plants.

I also use blue tape for most boxes. I've also used the Merle Band clamps I got from MLCS. They seem to be pretty well for the mitered corners. I don't have much luck with regular clamps. I never...

I have a couple of the Merle Band Clamps from MLCS and I think they work great.Thery adjust evenly and you're not limited to fours corners. I use them on boxes as well.

With tiny little Pooper Scoopers?

Thank you all for your responses. Interesting concept having different screws for the mobile home. I've order a few of the Clutch Head bits so that We'll be able to remove the cabinets when the...

My daughter lives in a mobile home. Every time I go to visit I look at her cabinets and cringe. They're REALLY cheap, flimsy and falling apart. I always wanted to redo my own kitchen cabinets but...

I can't imagine it checking on the faces. Are you sure they're checks and not the grain?

The wood is very oily. Just wipe a dry rag across the face and see what comes up. If you haven't used...

I usually raise the grain with distilled water before applying ANY finish. I may even do so several times. It really evens out the surface well.

Would there be a reason NOT to raise the grain?

What about Shellac? I suppose you could eat the flakes if you felt so inclined.

Thank you all for your suggestions. They're certainly good starts. I like the looks of the Damascus steel and may end up going that route. The ones from knifemaking.com may be a little higher end...

My son will be getting married in a year or so and I thought a nice wedding gift would be a good set of kitchen knives. I would want to make and add the scales to make them at least somewhat...

I made a sort of assembly table that I move outside when the weather's nice. I just replaced the one I had with a 4'x5'x2" torsion box that sits on top of saw horses. I just put it back in the...

I got the G0513 a few years ago and have been very happy with it. I really wanted the size to be able to resaw but only once would I have exceeded the 14" of a smaller saw. I agree that if you can...

And I'll assume the plane(s) you're using have a good high angle? I tried flattening some Big Leaf Quilted Maple with ~38* angle (25+the bed on my LV BUJ). The tearout was way bad. I put a 50*...

Thickness plane the pieces to close to what you need. If you're really concerned leave about 1/8" - 1/4" extra thickness. Sticker the boards up and let them rest for a few days. Any cupping should...

For previous year's "Special Offerings" type "afd" in the search box while on the site. There are some good ones.

I know I could use something like this!!

I find that walnut takes very well to raising the grain with a damp rag then sanding it down lightly. You may do this a few times before the grain no longer raises. Again, light sandings between...

I just got a couple of Ouchi chisels from Stu in a little different style. They're 'yama-ari' style and, according to Stu, they're made specifically for dovetails and general work. No side 'land',...
