She hasn’t decided what she will use it for. I decided to give OBs Shine Juice a try - will be my first time using it and figured this is a good candidate.

Had a chunk of Red Mallee burl that I made in to a bowl for SWMBO. This stuff is very hard and requires sharp tools or it will chip easily (at least in my limited experience with it). Sanded to 600...

I am considering doing the same thing. I should never need the 80 grit unless I am starting with a raw piece of HSS to make my own tool. I’m thinking 320 grit on the Jet and 600 or higher on the...

Picked up the Jet 8” SS grinder and the Wolverine jig system.

The Tormek will get turned 90 degrees and mounted on a turntable to the right hand side of the bench. It will be used for chisels,...

Just finished up the class yesterday. Overall it was great - I wasn’t the most experienced, or the least out of the 5 of us. The first day David did a demo on his methods to turn a bowl - then we...

Heading to Asheville next week to attend his class. Anyone attended and have any first hand knowledge, tips, what to expect, etc?

To be sure I’m following you, you’re saying to make the door all black, with the exception of some hickory edge banding around the outside edge of each stile and rail?

We have this dead corner (HVAC ducting in the bumpout causing this), and SWMBO wanted a coffee bar built. I built the shelves and countertop out of some 8/4 hickory, and she wanted the cabinet itself...

Reading through all of your comments I realized my idiocy. I was never seating the collet in the nut, but rather just inserting the collet in to the spindle, inserting the bit, and then tightening...

. . . . to not tearing up your knuckles when removing router bits from the collet. I am not gorilla torquing the collet nuts, just until snug. I have the large Milwaukee 3 1/2 HP router in my router...

Thanks for the reminder. I purchased 12 of the Dubuque clamps about 18 months ago and they promptly got put in a corner of the shop and forgotten about. That changes this weekend - need to make a...

Thanks for the link, I will be returning that blade and getting the 1”.

I ordered the 18bx and a 1.25” Resaw King blade today. Thanks for all the advice.

Looking at the Harvey HW615P (on sale for $1989 + $499 shipping) vs the Laguna 18bx (on sale for $2519 + $199 shipping). Both have 3 hp motors, the Laguna can take a 1.25” blade vs the 1” on the...

Still available?

Great idea, heading off to Amazon to order an electrostatic wrist strap.

Using the original hose that came with the CT when I bought it at least 8 years ago.

Original hose that came with the CT when I bought it at least 8 years ago.

So when I hook up the Festool CT-36 hose to the belt sander, I get zapped every time the hose brushes up against my body. Not painful, but irritating.

How can I ground the system to prevent this?

Thanks for the input Lee. The shelves are, and the top will be finished with Walrus Oil. I will make sure and put equal coats on both the top and bottom.

Clicking on your attachment gives me an...

I’m building the wife a corner cabinet for her coffee station and looking for some advice on how to attach the top.

Here is the base cabinet:

Here is the roughed out top sitting on...

This is a simple task if you know someone with a CNC machine. Or maybe use it as an excuse to buy one for yourself.

I love me some Sonos - got my first setup back in 2010 - a Sonos Amp, a pair of outdoor speakers, and an iPod Touch in a waterproof case. Made using the hot tub very enjoyable. I now have way too...

I have both the TS55 and TS75, along with the MFT/3 setup and find them indispensable.

I agree, and I have 12 logs (various hardwoods) in the back. I’m going to pay a guy to bring over his Wood-Mizer to mill them up for me, but I don’t want to wait a couple of years for things to dry.
