Thanks, all. A router will not do (at least won't give me square edges).

Perhaps I'm looking at this wrong. When you make a through mortise with a mortising machine, are your mortises clean on one side? I can cut from the outside and any chip out, etc. will be hidden by...
I have a project in mind that will require 1/4" through mortises. A lot of them. I pretty much stink at making mortises by hand. In your experience, does a mortising machine make clean through...
Thanks, David.
Years back I made the Morris Chair from the Feb 1999 issue of Wood Magazine, Issue 112. I never did get the cushions made for it, and now I want to get that done, but I cannot find the plans. Does...
Alan, you've done a beautiful job on the grain in that piece. Well done.
Getting ready to prime the crib. Here's a pic: 249825
They didn't have the Advance. Found another water-based enamel. Now I just wish I could get them to do the painting. I stink at this. I've just primed one piece, and when it dries I'll have about an...
Hit the Benjamin Moore store, and they put me onto a good water-based enamel and primer for that. You would be hard pressed to find more helpful people. They gave me solid recommendations, and even...
No sprayer, and the crib is finished, so it will definitely be poplar. It will have to be a brush-on finish like the ProClassic Jim has suggested. What about a primer? Any need for a primer?
Absolutely gorgeous!
My first grandchild (grandson) is due in May, and I'm making a crib for him. My daughter-in-law wants it to be (shudder!) painted white. Not sure of the finishing program for that. Seems like latex...
I butchered a deer on mine the other day. I did put down a layer of plastic tarp, though.
It would be nicest if the federal government stuck to its constitutionally mandated and permitted roles and stayed out of other things. If it is economically viable to change over, then people will...
If you want to come over into Fort Worth, Barney Robinson is on Lancaster just west of Downtown. They will let you choose your stock. Unfortunately, they are open only on weekdays.
I have a stand that has a cam lock at one end. The cam raises the feet and allows the stand to roll. I think it was in Wood's workshop plans.
Wood Magazine has one. Check out their website.
The Woodmizer LT10 also comes with a 7HP motor, and can handle up to a 24" log. I don't have one, but they have a good reputation among sawyers. I'd be unlikely to buy one of these from Harbor...
That's the name, Ken. Thanks. I'll look him up.
The price is now $2499. Very close to what you can get a Woodmizer LT10 for.
A couple of years ago there were several post here from a man who had a logging operation in Central or South America. I remember a link to some descriptions of his operations. I'm working with a...
I have several 48" shelves with a 3/4 x 2" nose. They have been crammed with books for over 10 years with no noticeable sag. I also have a dozen 36" shelves with a 3/4 x 1 1/2" nose that don't sag....
He said IKEA!
My wife honked at me as she drove up once. I explained that she very nearly had to take me to the ER to get a finger sewed back on, and she has never done that again.
If the neighbor doesn't get...
Whenever I threaten my son with writing him out of my will he cheers, "Hooray, less debt!" :)
