This is very helpful information. Once I let it dry for a few months, what kind of finish would you use? Just a basic poly?
We celebrated our daughter's first Christmas this year and my wife has asked me to make some coasters from the trunk of the tree that we can give to her in 20-some years when she gets her first...
Thanks all. Currently it's glued up in a long-grain orientation so no concerns with the planer. Since it's an offset design with two panels I'd have to trim them perfectly. Maybe I could just take...
I am in the process of making an end grain cutting board and like an idiot I made the glued up panel 0.5" too wide for my planer. The panel is pretty close to flat, but I'm afraid the end grain...

Does anybody have any experience working with Alaskan Yellow Cedar? It seems to be a bit more expensive than Western Red Cedar, but I've heard it's stronger and more rot resistant. I'm going to be...
I have the G0690 (same saw minus extension) and love it. I went for the G0690 over the G1023RL because of the superior motor (Leeson vs. Brand X) and I didn't want the dust shroud after reading some...
If it's just a very thin coat of surface rust - with no pitting - you can use mineral oil and a scotchbrite pad. With a little bit of elbow grease you're rust free in a few minutes. Follow that up...

Hi All,
Thanks for the advice. Yesterday I was able to uncrate the jointer base, remount the motor, uncrate the bandsaw, put it on a mobile base, and clean/install the bandsaw table. I used the...
Thanks to Butch - and his 10% off Grizzly Coupon - I was able to buy a new bandsaw and jointer. I hauled them home from Bellingham yesterday and somehow managed to unload them from a UHaul trailer...
Hi all,
I need to make a 48" prize wheel for a work event. Think something like this:

I'm going to be using some 3/4" birch plywood,...
Butch I have not received one yet. I'd be very appreciative!
I'm on the verge of buying a couple tools from Grizzly. Anybody have a code they can PM me? I would be very appreciative!
Thanks for all the great advice. I ended up drilling two holes in each corner and driving walnut dowels w/ glue. It looks great and will hopefully add some strength. I'll post some pictures once I've...
Hi All,
I'm a beginner to woodworking and am making my first box to hold our ever growing Cards Against Humanity set. It's a maple box with a sliding walnut lid and a baltic birch bottom in a...
I'm a big fan of Bosch. Their 12v system will do 98% of what a woodworker will need. If you want 18v check out their new "Socket Ready" tools.
Looks like Amazon only sells the 1-pack. The 2 and 6-pack are sold by some merchant called "TheHardwareCityCO"...
I had a productive weekend in my shop conversion! I started two weeks ago with a 1950's detached garage with open studs. Last weekend I ran almost 450' of wire for four 110v circuits and three 220v...
Got ya. 60 amps should be great for the shop so I'll stick with it. Thanks for the info!
I'm installing a subpanel in my detached garage and noticed my wire is 6 gauge THWN-2. When I looked up the ampacity chart I see that it has a different rating than regular THWN and was wondering if...
Finally a topic I can be an expert on!!! Check out this link with great info on the diameter by wine bottle type. Most wine comes in "Bordeaux" style bottles. It's the Champagne and Pinot Noir...
Hey Craig,
I called them up and they held the saw for me. Their website will show you availability by location, but you're probably best of reserving. I basically followed the Wood Whisperer' video...
Craig: I bought the G0690 to replace a 1970's Unisaw I inherited from my grandfather. It was a great saw, but when the motor blew I sold it to a rehab-er and bought the grizzly. I have it on the Shop...
