They both have their benefits and shortfalls in regard to structural uses and machinability.
BUT, when it comes to veneering, IMO there is no better substrate than MDF.......Bar none!
It is...
That is some stunningly beautiful work on a pair of classic pieces.
I also have two saws.
My Laguna 24 X 24 is fitted with a power feeder, roller fence, and 1-1/4" 1.7 TPI carbide blade. It is a dedicated resaw usually used for shop sawn veneers.
My second saw...
Bill,
Here is link to the FWW magazine article about how to get published. I hope posting this link is OK because it is a FWW public area and does not take you to any forums or membership areas. ...
I have a 2" enamel coated brass disk etched with my artwork at a trophy shop. I get a new set made each year with the current date. I inlay them about 1/16" deep using 2" forstner bit.
...
I completely agree!
I have both, and use both, for different applications. I have had a plate joiner for many years, I have had my FMT for about four years, and I purchased my domino when they...
Thanks for the kind words, everybody!

I used a piece of the cut-off from the band saw as a clamping form. The BS kerf is about the same...

First I want to thank everyone who visited and responded to my last project post;
A very large walnut and walnut burl credenza (PIX)
and, as always, I welcome your comments AND...
Suffolk Machinery has just come out with a new carbide tipped resaw blade and I think I will try it next time. Plus, just like Laguna's Resaw King, (which I have been using for years), they will...
I have both of the Nicholson patternmaker's rasps, a #49 and #50. BUT, I also have been using the Dragon rasps in fine and coarse. These are great, hand struck rasps and now I find myself reaching...

2nd Peruvian walnut
And when you put them together.........that's my real favorite combo;

Jim,
Almost all the veneer work I do is shop sawn at 1/16". As a practice, when veneering both sides is necessary, I always keep it balanced by doing both sides with equal thickness veneer. If...
I use MDF a lot! It is my substrate of choice for veneering and I do a lot of veneering. In my opinion it is the absolute best veneering substrate there is.......Bar None! And because of this, I...
YES!
Bryan there is a very short life after you mix it......Like a few hours until it hardens. :D So you mix what you need and a little extra so you don't get into trouble by running out.
As...
Brian is correct, wing back chairs can get more complicated. This wing back has five upholsterer's bars rather than the one in the dining chair. Plus it has hand tied springs in both the seat and...
Hi Ron,
I have built several upholstered chairs and I looked for books and articles on the techniques needed for their construction. I could find nothing. I always build a prototype for chairs so...
I agree with Jamie, sometimes loose tenon joinery is the best approach to angled M & T's.
You go ahead and cut accurate miters, then cut mortises in both faces. You can use one of many methods to...
I think an improvement in the way you are storing your slices would improve your problem.
I sticker and clamp everything immediately after resawing and leave it there until it is used in the...
I think they are two completely different tools. Yes, they can duplicate several procedures, but each can do many individual things the other one can't. I purchased my domino to "augment" my joinery...
Wow! I've been running Resaw Kings for years on both of my Laguna saws. I've had real good luck!
Timberwolf has come out with a new, resharpenable, carbide blade that looks similar in...
I have used a lot of Peruvian walnut. It is hard to tell from the color in your pictures but the discoloration I'm used to seeing is a gray streaking. I've never seen it turn back to the beautifully...
