Chairs seats are traditionally made of soft(er) woods like Poplar and Pine.
The sanding disks may carry health hazards but it depends on how many chairs and hours you spend in the dusty...
In general there are two options: use power tools or hand tools.
1) Power tools: carving disks made by companies like King Arthur, Arbotech or Saburrtooth. There are YouTubes showing the use of...
Excellent thread indeed!
But what happened to the Jessem Router motor? It’s probably somewhere....
I am not familiar with that specific model, but even if it had design flaws m, Freud could fix them and start selling improved models. Their decision to stop selling routers had to do with business...
Thank you. It is quite narrow...
Sorry for the dumb question, but I can’t find any new shooting board fence on Veritas (or Lee Valey) website. All I see are the old tracks. What new products are available? Can someone post a link?

Agreed!
Keeping it simple is best, unless there are other reasons.
Thank you Jim! That’s news to me.
How can I contact Sam Blasco? Does he have a website?
Apologies for my ignorance: who is selling the new MM 16 bandsaws today? I was under impression that minimax were out of business... Or was it Agazzani ?
I use it diluted in alcohol thus avoiding the raised grain. It goes very smooth. Actually so smooth, there is very little time before it all gets absorbed and/or evaporated. After it dries, it looks...
Hahaha, Azerbaijan? A famous air compression center...
Funny, when made in the US, it’s in the first line in the discription. Azerbaijan however, only the achronim hidden down somewhere. Looks a...
After watching that YouTube, I contacted Jeff Jewitt with the same question. Here is his answer:
“My experience is that contrast is more depending on the way the wood is sawn originally, the type...
John,
I am talking about a hobby shop in a garage - small scale. The "big sanders" I was referring to, are standard 5"-6" ROS. The electric ones can run at lower speeds, albeit not in the smooth way...
Thanks everyone for your responses. I didn’t see this topic discussed a lot on Internet forums.
In particular I appreciate the insightful posts by experienced folks. You can’t beat real life...
I am considering adding an air compressor to my “shop”. Love the air powered tools that come with many advantages over the electric ones. I was thinking to use it for spraying, drilling and sanding....
I have the Bosch 1617evs rated at 2-1/4 HP. It’s a strong router but still part of the 3-1/2” motor group. It’s OK, but nothing special. The height adjustment mechanism is mediocre. Although you can...
You are right. (Unlike other fields, the woodworking community is very conservative and slow to accept new changes).
I was thinking of building a router table with a tilting top, but with the router...
Is it possible that somehow the cutout in the table top is too narrow and is pressuring the Jessem plate creating that concave surface?
Please keep us posted. Like you, I'm heading to the clock museum in CT. Anyway, do you have any previous experience building tall case clocks? For me it will be a first. But I am really intrigued...
As far as I can tell, judging by the pictures of the tall case, it’s a difficult plan to execute. I don’t think most hobbiests can carve those lines and make the ornaments with hand tools. Also, a...
Not an expert, but from what others poststed before, the problem may be with the blade. Here are a few things to (re)check:
1) proper tensioning
2) blade not designed for the job or is too dull. ...
Thank you,
John. You probably mean PINS deeper than tails on the sides, isn't it?
Jamie, I checked the PC user manual and there are indeed instructions which I missed before.
Anyway, is the...
Drawers and half blind dovetails...
Recently, I purchased a Porter Cable 12” dovetail jig. Among other things, I planned cutting half blind dovetails for a few drawers in a chest. (This topic may have been discussed in the past, but I...
