Thanks for the answers, and not laughing at me for asking what amounts to cooking advice on a woodworking forum :) Beautiful rolling pin by the way!

Is there a benefit to having the taper from the center like that? The one I made, and the commercial made one I have in the kitchen, is flat through most of the body with tapered handles. I...

I’ve had mine for about 2 months now, it’s pretty awesome. I am wondering though if anyone else is having the same issue with the banjo that I am. It only locks with the arm at 6 o’clock when I’ve...

Got home and checked the breaker box. Looks like that room is tied to the heater in the main room of the shop. But there is a separate breaker for the bathroom heater. So I could possibly rewire the...

I have a new lathe coming that is 220v (Laguna Revo, pretty excited), the room I current have my lathe doesn’t have a 220 outlet however it does have an old baseboard heater that got broken while I...

Well, I ordered the Laguna so now it’s time to clean the shop and plan the riser. I think I will try some blocks out of maple or oak and if I don’t like the stability at 4” I will go the steel route.

That looks even better Greg. I have a friend who does a lot of metal working so I might have to pay him a visit.

Hockey pucks sound like a pretty novel solution. Something tells me if I tape together a stack of them 4-5” tall I might loose a bit of stability :)

I don’t think it does. I think the lathe sits on its feet when not on the wheels, otherwise that would be two birds with one stone. Maybe a combination of Steve and John’s ideas might fit the bill...

Thanks for the idea, I will give that a shot, should be able to dial in a bit more custom of a height that way too.

I am currently looking to upgrade to a larger lathe than my current excelsior 10x18 bench-top. The sale on the Laguna Revo 18/36 has me pretty tempted but I am a bit worried about the height of the...

Dumb question from a relative newbie, what do you mean by “wax paper in the miter slot”? Are you using it to make sure the runner on your miter gauge runs tight in the slot? Using it as a shim to...

Thanks for the good suggestions. I will be getting some epoxy after work today to fill it in.

Sorry about not responding to your suggestions sooner, the sun came out so I went camping for the...

I am making an outdoor bar that will be exposed to a good deal of rain, though not much sun. The top of the bar is a live edge slab of yellow cedar and has a crack running a decent portion of the...

Thanks for the quick and thorough info! Sounds like this is probably a pass at the asking price.

Been keeping my eye out for bandsaws lately on craigslist and this one popped up today. 'https://juneau.craigslist.org/tls/6061519684.html It's listed as "Delta 16" enclosed bandsaw with movable...

Unfortunately putting a roof over it won't work based on the deck design and the nature of our lot. Designing the stools around the bar is probably a better idea than vice versa so that might be the...

I am building a bar style table for my deck. I am intending to build the top out of a 10 foot long live-edge slab of cedar, thinking I will finish it to about 18 to 20 inches deep. I am a bit...

This sounds pretty similar to the first project I ever built, the desk that I'm sitting at now. I cut pieces about 3/4 thick 2x10 inches and glued them down to half inch plywood then trimmed the...
