Hi Everybody,
Long time no see. Been going thru some tough times, but I'm still trying to keep my hand in at wood mangling. I would like to apply some Varathane premium wood stain, light cherry, but...

Dennis,
Put me down for one Tan/blue.

Scott,
The boss came by this afternoon and said there was a all-hands meeting set Friday morning. Doesn't sound good. We're a subcontractor to THE biggest defense aerospace company on a gov't site...

A neighbor's neighbor of a friends said we could have the small walnut tree from his back yard. My buddy agreed we could keep it stacked at his second property. My question is just how much useable...

Joe,
I don't have the Kregg jig YET, but fathers day is coming soon. As for a lift, for right know it's just going to be a Dewalt DW621 and a fixed plate. I'm working on getting the 3hp 5-speed PC...

Hi all!
I'm trying to use my PC b' joiner for the NYW router project. I'm trying to slot the back panel of the carcass, and I can't get closer than 6" to the outside panels. Regardless of what the...

Jezu Maria! I think we got us a ringer!

Just did a google on Southington Ohio sawmill and got a hit on "Doll Lumber". One of my buddies highly recomends it.

Oh Shoot!
I'm not far from 422. With gas getting up to $2 a gallon, the more local a source, the better. If you remember the name or talk to your cousin soon, please let me know!
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks,

More work! :mad: I'll be helping a friend finish digging a foundation for an extension to his "country estate" (read: fixer-upper) He says he wants to put in a "permanent wood foundation". Something...

Hi,
I've got the 2001 Taco, with the xtra-cab and V-6, 4x4, and automatic. It's got a 6-foot bed, 8 if you drop the gate. I keep some sand bags in the back during the winter months so the rear-end...

Mark & Chris, thanks for the reply. I had picked up the HF caliper.That's how I got the .708". I'm going to follow Jim's advise and centerline the dado's and go with the flow. I don't want to...

:D :D :D yeah! No problem if it was MDF. In fact that's one of it's selling points!

I'm making the NYW router table, and went and cut all the pieces to size. I checked the plans for the rabbit & dado dimensions and saw the note about adjusting the plans for undersized ply. I checked...

Hi all,
Does anyone have any suggestions for a corner or assembly square? I know Rockler sells the plastic "Assembly Square" and Hartville tools sells an aluminum "3-D square". Both seem...

Hi,
Newbie here, thinking about getting my first locking drawer bit, preferably a Whiteside, using 1/2" sides and 3/4" front. There are two 1/2" shank models and both have different size "cutting...

It's not cold...it's what we northerners call "brisk".

I got a NGWH sound for ya! Mine, about 10yrs. old, sometimes make a noise during consumption like a load of marbles is being shot thru it? Anybody else hear that?

Marc,
I guess Don's right about the frog. The plane body has a cast piece in the middle where the cap iron screws in the front and the adjustment screw wishbone thingy is in the back-side of it. I'm...

Marc,
Thanks for all the great links. I've got the local library sending me Lee's guide to sharpening, Garret's Handplane book, and Flexners' book on finishing. Looks like I'll be reading for a...

Marc,
You're right. First I screwed the rod into the plane, slipped the tote on, then tried to screw the cap on the top. Loyd pointed out the Museum of Woodworking tools site in another post, and lo...
