I'm a bit puzzled. If the bearings were bad wouldn't the shaft tend to slow or grind down? The motor runs very smoothly and shows no runout or wobble. It just takes forever to slow and stop. Still,...
I have this saw from my Grandfather. It is still very usable though with a fairly small blade. However, it takes over a minute for the blade to come to a complete stop upon powering off. It has a...
I suggest you pick up the literature and visit the web sites of the major epoxy manufacturers such as West, System 3, MAS, etc. and study them carefully. If you build plywood sinks they can be coated...
Cypress is a good boat building wood. Fir exterior ply not so much. It will check and crack given time. Only solution is to fiberglass the hull.
If I were you I would at least buy MDO plywood or...
I took Casey's advice and contacted Byrd - who very promptly answered my query:
"We do have a shelix for the Ridgid JP0610, the head is $349.00 with tips. You will have to measure the cutting...
Thanks for the comments.
However - my questions still remain unanswered.
Anyone with experience doing this modification?
I have searched the net and found lots of folks talking about upgrading their 6" Ridgid jointer with a Byrd Shellix cutterhead but can't find any that report the actual steps necessary for this...
I have owned the Beadlock system, a DowelMax, a Mortise Pal, and a mortise machine. All of them worked very well for their intended applications. For ease of use in daily production applications...
The penobscot 14 is one of my favorite boats and would be a very worthy project. Lapstrake planking can be done by two main methods, clinching the laps with copper fasteners or gluing them with...
When I had my contractors 1.5 hp saw I used a thin kerf Freud Diablo combination blade which worked well especially after I put blade stiffeners on the arbor. I also had a thin kerf Forest...
Did you consider veneering some nice figured cherry onto the side panels?
I have the Skill HD5510 and while the base plate is stamped steel it isn't any weaker than my big Milwaukee that I dropped from about 5ft onto gravel and broke the casting. I take very good care of...
Mark, what blade do you use to get such perfect 45 degree cuts along these long tops you create? Also, care to let us know what table saw you use?
John, very nice work. I used a paint program to lighten your photos a bit to show the super details of your work better. I use Paint Shop Pro but Adobe Elements will also do the trick.
I think the cypress may work. A fellow in town is building a Simmons Seaskiff using cypress for floors and frames. I've heard that cypress soaks up water like Sponge Bob. You might try soaking the...
Ok, I see now that you need something to conform to the transom curve. If you want to do it yourself might I suggest that you laminate up a curved board on a frame that matches your transom? This...
Why would you think solid wood would seem impractical? I believe the very opposite would be true and that you would find plywood just waiting to delaminate over time - especially with all those...
Michael, sorry you are disappointed in the SC helical planer. I too know the frustration a crappy planer can cause. I spent over $400 for a highly rated Delta 13" 2 speed planer upon the...
My Delta 13" 2 speed planer has indexing knives that allow for a quick (under 5 minutes when you know what your doing) change. However this is the only good point to a horrible machine. Sharp knife,...
The molding would be totally unnecessary. How did you finish the plywood edges? Beautiful project.
However you fiberglass your flag pole, remember that epoxy absolutely must not be exposed to UV rays or it will degrade quite rapidly. You must block the UV with a varnish or a coating made for this...
I need to vacuum press a top and really can use this pump. Thanks for the offer!
I love opting in
Beautiful use of well matched cherry material. Now it's time to install wainscoted cherry panels on the walls - maybe for your Mom's next birthday? Gotta love cherry.
