Thanks again to all for the advice. I've been following a good deal of it, and it's producing results (not to mention providing some peace of mind).

I now have a follow-up question. I seem to be...

Wow! Many thanks to all for an incredibly generous response. Much to think about, and much to practice (guess I'll have to pick a cheap chisel and a junk plane iron to practice working freehand). Now...

Thanks, Dale -

I was afraid you might say that about the flattener. Oh well, not my first woodworking paperweight! :rolleyes:

Do you have a recommendation about which diamond stone to get? Do...

I’ve been using “scary sharp” sandpaper technique to sharpen my blades, but haven’t been very satisfied with it, so I recently bought a set of Norton combination stones (220/1000,...

John, your experience with the Whilly was entertaining and informative. The scarfing with a RAS was intriguing, though I don't have a radial arm saw and I think it would give me the whillys to use it...

Thanks very much for your thoughts, gents, interesting ideas all. Sam, I think the Merry Wherry is too small, but the Merry Two may be a better look for me. The only thing I worry about is that...

Greetings all -

I'd like to build a rowing boat, preferably with interchangeable single or double rowing stations - a larger wherry, maybe? I'd like it to be fast, but it has to have some carrying...

Thanks both for the replies. Your suggestions to see what happens before cutting holes in my new saw is both sensible and comforting (and that's a rare combination!:)) I'll do as you suggest.

I recently got a Saw Stop PCS, and am trying to work out what I need to do to accommodate a ClearVue DC system. The saw has a blade guard/hood that encloses the blade quite...
