I have moved my shop from my 3000sq.ft. building and have left behind a bevy of wood scraps that are free for the taking. Alot of small off cuts, a fair amount of cherry 2"wide and 5' long, some...

Hey everyone,

Jay,
Is the oneida the only dust collector running for the entire shop?
Your shop is somewhat similar in layout and rough size of my shop and I've been running two 1900cfm dust collectors and...
Paul,
Your going to get mixed opinions on motor size. everyone seems to think bigger is better. A properly tuned 3/4hp saw with the proper blade and proper tension should do everything you need...
george I am starting to think that I should learn how to use my lathe!
Ok, so I don't do any wood turning, so I would only be cutting it up to sell of the spalted pieces. My thought was to build a chair that would be one solid piece. Rough cut it with a chainsaw and...
grant, if your supplier does not have the tables. you can get them directly from delta. They also make a neumatic drum for the sides of the sanders that you can purchase from delta
I am looking for suggestion on what to do with this, i've been holding onto it for way to long. I have all means of cutting it up, so that is not a problem I just can't come up with a good plan for...
dale, you can get a small in out feed set up from delta for about $60, these will help quite a bit. They are mdf tops with a metal bracket system. I've been tooling around with the idea of mounting...
Pbs did a nice job showcasing mira and the nakishima family on the craft in america specials. I believe they rerun them on thursday nights. Worth looking at. They also did a special on everones...
I pretty much deal strictly in recliamed lumber. The wizard is the way to go it will set you back about $100 but will save you in the long run. The wizard will read about 4" deep into any wood. This...
Matt, does this mean your giving up metal and coming back to the wood side. When I first joined smc you had quite a wood shop set up and you were giving it up for metal work. Are you sticking with...
I believe delta made or makes a line of saws that is not a unisaw, I am not a delta expert but that is how I understand it. I think the unisaw would be an upgraded edition, hopefuly someone chimes in...
Somebody may be offended by this, so I apologize now. Please don't judge me. You can purchase a portable toilet that looks like a cooler. It has a bag unit with TP under the lid. I keep one in both...
Jim, I look forward to seeing the final pics of that thing in the snow, sounds very achievable and alot of fun to make, I guess no one remembers the metal death traps that we use to sled down hills...
Well welcome to the club of the unfortinate, I am still seeing a hand specialist every monday at 9 due to a table saw fight. Cut my thumb in half at the nuckle, I will have 9 and 1/2 digits with a...
Heaviest inside the shop would be the mattison 276
This is a big dog sizing in at 5' wide x 12' long x 5' high...
Hi Julie, completely off subject but when you made the steam box post I looked at your website and that made me think of something I was going to share with you but forgot to. My company is a...
black palm is very hard to work with in my experience, tried turning it and that was equally hard to work with just shatters, not to mention exotic woods come form protected parts of the world and...
In my opinion the edge sander is the way to go. you can get a decent one for about $800. This will allow you to do cabinet doors, table legs, and outer radius, I used mine all day today edge sanding...
would bendable mdf work for you in this case. The stuff I use is 3/4" thick mdf with a hardboard surface for laminating or painting. This inside is obviously ridged. It come in burch and other...
A gentleman down the road from my shop has a delta uniplane for sale real cheap. I don't need this tool but for the price (well you know the disease). Does this tool have it's place in a shop or was...
thanks for the idea's. taking a little bit of everyones advice I think I will use the steal wire and make a hanging system. I was avoiding the cup hinge holders for the fact that I have approx. 90...
i tried once to wipe on shelac over stain that was not completely dry and it actualy lifted the stain off the wood when I spread it out. Not sure if the effect would be similar to spraying.
I am curious to see if anyone has any good ideas or photos of what might be the best way to stage cabinet doors for finishing. I have a finishing room. It is 20x40 so space is not an issue. My...
