Teriffic, thanks for the resources. I'll check them out this weekend. Finally got my shop together in my new place and ready to get back to work!

I recently relocated to Long Island, NY (Northport) and am looking for some resources. Specifically, where to buy hardwoods, and where to buy tools and supplies. I had a Rockler close by in...

Novice questoin - can someone please explain the concept of shooting or perhaps point to another thread where this has been previously discussed?

I took a one day class (1 on 1) from David about 1 yr ago and it was a tremendous experience. I am a total novice and David was really patient with me. He could have easily blown off the time with me...

Amazing - I am not worthy of SawMill Creek. Great Work.

Thank you for this. This is truly the best post I have ever seen on this message board. Merry Christmas.

Great work - your self described lack of experience certainly didn't seem to get in your way - Beautiful work.

Don - thanks for doing this. These are my favorite types of threads at the creek - watching a project in progress and learning from experienced wood workers. Good Luck - and the clock is ticking!!!

Thanks Lee, I'll give it a try tonight. Once again - terrific work.

Great Boxes. Really pretty stuff. I love the use of multiple woods.

A question. I am just finishing some box joint boxes myself and am having trouble with trimming the ends. I made the fingers a...

I am ashamed to say that I have done the exact same thing with some wide cherry. My thought was that I really had no choice. I am pleased with the results and think you are the right track.

Very nice - I will be doing the same thing this summer for my kids. Any advice or gotchas to watch out for???

I made a couple boxes this weekend for SWMBO to use in the kitchen. I used box joints (my first ones) and based on advice from some SMC and others I cut the pins a bit long so there would be no gaps...

I have used the same method as John mentions above. Take some thicker stock and place the piece to be planed on top of it. Make sure it is secured with a stop block or sand paper or something.

I have the Powermatic 6" with levers. It is very easy to adjust and I have had no problems on that front. I have not used a jointer with wheels, but it sounds like you are fine either way.

Royal Flush - great work

Great work and recovery. It gives me hope. I have had similar frustrations in looking at my work. Congrats.

Welcome to the "Spinning your wheels" club. The funny thing is that we have exactly the same amount of memebers as SMC!!!!

Jim - this looks amazing. Great work. I did the same thing recently (sanded through) on a bookcase. Great recovery.

Thoughts and prayers, brad - good luck.

ENVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Congrats. I want to see some great pics of what comes out of that shop soon.:)

Congrats on your new tool. Looks great. I also want to compliment you on your shop. Man, you keep that clean. I fall way short on that front. Congrats again!!!!

Many of you know that I have been considering a bandsaw purchase for sometime now. I finally bit the bullet and grabbed the wallet while at the Pomona WoodWorking show 2 wks ago.

I decided on...
