Thanks Tom. A few to look over there.
Thanks Cliff. I've been looking at wax pots. I'm glad to hear from someone who has used them. The one you linked to looks interesting.
It seems to have a better temmp range for glue than others I've...
Hi everyone. It's been a while since I've posted here, but after a decase of health problems I'm back to the shop in a limited capacity. I've started doing some work on guitars, so I'm looking for a...
Another option would be wrap around piano hinges. Rockler sells them for 3/4" ply.
Some good looking carts here, but I chose to go store bought http://www.grizzly.com/outlet/New-Material-Cart-w-Outriggers/H7544 . As solid as you could want and holds a 18 sheets of 3/4 with no...
I like using a graphite spray myself.
Just my own personal experience and observations, but I've never been successful at substituting ebonized wood for a true piece of Ebony. I just can't get that same sheen and rich finish from it....
Hi Craig.....I have a bit of experience working with the various ebonies as well. I agree with everything MS mentioned, but will add a bit from my own experiences with Gabon. Nailing it won't be your...
I think we're looking at the future of North American made speciality retail/manufacturing here. Given that the majority of people seem to prefer price over quality when given the choice (Walmart as...
I've never seen a need to have my table level. As long as the top and wings are aligned and all other sdjustments check, the saw can be on an angle to the floor for all I care.
I was glad to see...
David, I came across this same problem on a Delta that had a Carter Quick release added to it. The owner had not properly positioned the quick release devise before drilling and bolting it in place....
Hi David,
I have some pretty screwed up knees. Combine that with the fact I'm on Coumadin, and the slightest pressure on my knee can cause some serious internal bleeding, I pretty much gave up on...
I made mine with 3/4" back and doors. I use hand shaped wood tool supports. Having the 3/4" allows me to screw them in from the front which gives me the easy option of moving them around if new tools...
Jonathan,
I started out doing just that with LV honing compound on lignum vitae. While it did do an adequate job, I found it needed doing more often than I thought was acceptable. Now, using the BC...
Johnathan, you are going to enjoy using this tool. I've had mine a few years now and have been adding profiles as I go. I find it especially useful on smaller runs and on box projects. The hones...
Hi Larry,
You have to think of the tool as being misnamed. It's not a trimmer as much as it is a shaver. Length and angle of your material should be pretty much dialed in before moving to the lion....
Hi Bill
I've had their bench (wooden base) for 8-9 years now. The vises are great, the bench itself is a good size, though I'm not a big fan of the tooltray. With all the add ons and accessories for...
Hi George,
I feel your pain. I ordered my saw so long ago I can't remember when that was, but it was at the first price with all the fancy doodads. Well, since then, Andrew has 3 times emailed me...
Hi Jeff,
They need to clean both innner and outer units for the machine to work to peak efficiency. When you say you never see any condensation come from the unit, do you mean the interior unit? On...
I received mine, here in Canada, last week.
Geeez.......I just look at forum down time as more time to spend in the shop :).
Jeff, I have a very different opinion of my Fujitsu unit. I can easily keep a temp of 70 degrees in 1500 sqft with 9' ceilings with the outside temp over 90 with 80% and more humidity. During your 2...
Phil Lowe did a detailed Ball and Claw video for Taunton a few years back that answers all your questions. I don't know if it's available on DVD or just VHS, but it's more than worth looking into.
The DVD is actually very good. All the basics are covered then he goes into some detailed info on patterns and especially on transitioning from one layout to another. It's a single camera shoot with...
Hi Richard,
My apologies, I forgot about this thread. Yes I received it last week. I've only had time to play around a bit with it. Hopefully this coming weekend I will be putting it to use on a box...
