The mitered infill sample leg looks great. The joint looks clean and strong. I used a lock miter bit for my chair legs and butt joints and veneers on the ottomans. I'll try the miter infill...

I have recently purchased a 700 and was going through a similar situation. Most of my projects will use 6 or 8mm tenons but I plan on building a couple of outdoor gates. I need to make deeper tenons...

I just watched the video on YouTube. Alex makes tuning the saw simple. I have a new resaw king ready to install. I'll try his methods and see how it works out.

I read in one of my shopnotes magazine that 409 removes resins and pitch. After I run out of my pitch remover from rockler, I will use 409.

Take the throat plate out and open the side doors and see what is obstructing.

That's an awesome fence on your jointer. I wish my jointer had that fence.

I have an Inca 570 which has a 10-1/4" width Tersa cutterhead. It is the perfect width for my needs.

I have have an Inca 10" and a Laguna 14". Both saws have wheels with slight crowns. My fences have been shimmed to 90. This is what I do to setup my saws. Everytime I change to a new blade I need to...

I read posts on tuning bandsaws and some people recommend adjusting the fence for drift. Why don't people just adjust the band on the wheel until it is running straight? A table saw blade should...

My ottomans are coming together pretty quickly. I need to add the side slats still. I am not going to have the shelf on the bottom.

Mike, That is not a problem. Your morris chair legs will be 2-1/4" so the Ottoman legs can be narrower. I made my ottoman legs 1-3/4" so they will look better proportionally.

It would be good to share everyone's favorite bargain and spendy tool experiences. I'll start with a few of my favorites.

Bargain hand tool: Simonds Vixen file $5.00 eBay. I use this as a float...

8" was not wide enough for me as I buy 9-10" boards often. My jointer is an Inca 570 jointer planer which has a 10-1/4" Tersa cutter head. It is compact and provide an amazing surface quality when...

Your chair is looking great Dean. I usually use a wipe on poly for my projects. Getting in between the spindles will be a little tedious but doable. I was thinking about a mortise for the corbels...

I have an Akeda jig and was watching an auction for the longer 24" version. Check out the final price :eek: I really like using my Akeda jig but this is ludicrous.

The aluminum is anodized so it has not been marking my wood. I have been really happy using my saw after the upgrade.

Yes those are through tenons. Since I have the XY vise on my mortiser, it made it easier to cut the mortises cleanly. Are you guys getting some shop time this weekend? I am chatting offline with Walt...

I have multiple sets of Tersa knives for different purposes. I use my M2 HSS knives for most of my all around jointing, Chrome knives for softwoods, and if needed M42 Colbalt knives for my finish...

I used Unibond 800 for my bent laminations and a skateboard vacuum press for my Morris chair back slats. Spring back was minimal. It worked out quite well for me. A thin epoxy should be a good choice...

Arm mortises are now cut and fitted to leg assemblies. I ended up using my hollow chisel mortiser for the task. It took a little bit of patience to get things to fit. I was worried because I didn't...

Walt, This thread that you have started has brought and is still bringing so many woodworkers together. I have read it from the beginning more than twice already. I would like to Thank you for the...

The chairs I have seen with curved backs have cushions that contour to the curve after some usage. If it doesn't matter to you maybe going with flat slats is the way to go. It did make the build more...

Are you going to rip that 12" QSWO board into itty bitty pieces? I am trying to save my wide boards for my dresser and table projects. IMO the flatenning is looking really good. I recently cut most...

Welcome to the Morris thread Joe. I am using the book The Furniture of Gustav Stickley: History, Techniques, and Projects by Joseph J. Bavaro.
I have looked at all of the plans available and the...

i just did this for my ottomans. I ripped the boards to be 1/8" underrsize in width and 1/16" oversize in thickness. I glue the two halves and then lightly joint and plane the glued sides....
