Alright. Thanks! Any idea on how to salvage the lumber? I'm more concerned about the cocobolo. That stuff is kinda pricey.

This is kinda unique, and I need some help. I have been trying to recycle used motor oil from the mower and tractors but can't really find a place to take it. Well, one of the bottles sprung a leak...

I'm building a table for a Primo Oval XL. I was going to put granite under the grill and in a 2' square on the top to have something more durable and heat resistant than just wood. However, I'm...

I don't know. I got the thing put together without anyone helping me. Couldn't get anyone to even help me get it off the truck, much less set it on the stand. So, I'm kinda determined to see this...

Ok, so, new tires and belt. What about the belt Rockler is selling? I think the top wheel is a little off but need to figure out how to check the bottom. I was thinking of some improvements to the...

Broke down and bought a new Ridgid band saw after not being able to find one online, at least, that they'd reply to me before they sold it. Anyway, it's vibrating pretty bad even without the wheels...

I did find a Powerline bandsaw on Craig's list, though I can't give anything on it.

Eastern or western red cedar.

I'm in East TN, just east of Knoxville.

Where? I don't know of anyone around here with anything like that.

I'm in the market for a good 14" band saw and a 13" planer but am kinda limited on funds. I can't decide between the Porter Cable or the Craftsman band saw. Both have pros and cons.

For the...

I got a Primo Oval XL for Christmas and am going to build a table for it. I started out looking at either cypress or western red cedar but am now thinking eastern/aromatic red cedar. What's your...

I was hoping to get the components to build one for around $1000. I'm not really interested in selling it. This is just for personal projects. If I were going into business, I could see spending...

Thank you!

I'm curious if anyone knows of any plans for a diy 3D cnc or a cheap kit. I'm thinking I could use a 2'x4'.

I know naturalwhetstone has 2 grades of black stones, 1200 and 1400 grit. They liken the 1400 to a 12000 grit Japanese. Then again, I wonder if that is just indicative of the polish.

I'm looking for a good place to buy Arkansas hones. I'm thinking of getting into straight shaving. I know that, for years, people used Arkansas hones on their razors. I'm just curious of good places...

The Shopmaster belt sander is still a mystery. However, I think, with some guidance, I have found the problem. 280737 I don't think it's supposed to look like that and have a bulge on the side of...

It's a shopmaster too. I think they were like $99 at Lowes. Only thing I see on the sander is SM500.

How do I tell if it's the capacitor?

I have a Shopmaster drill press and belt sander that need new motors. The drill press just hums, but the belt sander still works, only I can just about stop it with my badge hand. Everything else...

I'm thinking of a hybrid from the traditional and the Siminoff. I like the idea of the extra wood the Siminoff straight joint but has a devil of a time getting the neck to stay in place. I'm...

All the female portions I've seen went all the way through the neck block, so the neck could be more easily fit before the back is put on. I currently have a router set up for it but didn't like how...

I don't think I follow on the stopped cut. I'm not familiar with that.

I'm just curious if it'd be possible to modify something like a dovetail plane to cut the dovetail in the neck and neck block on a mandolin.

Thanks! I might talk to St James Bay Tools to see if they could make something, or if I could modify something to work. The reason I was wondering about this dovetail is I'm an amateur luthier,...
