I get 21,450 bf using the Doyle scale for 50 logs at 18" at the small end and 35 ft long. Yep, lotta lumber, but if your trees are that size, that's what you'll get, possibly more because the Doyle...

Love the case and your workmanship, Mike. Sorry, but IMO the prison window grid and the purpleheart detract from an otherwise great piece.

Yes, of course.

If you sign up with Pirate Ship (which is free to do) shipping costs generally are half or less of USPS or UPS. Pay for the shipping at home, including insurance if you want, print out the label,...

It looks like those radiused corners are separate pieces of wood. If so, and if all the damage is to one of them, I would pull it out and install a new piece. You can replicate the profile, pretty...

Yes, occasionally, I will loan a tool to a friend. And that reminds me that one of my woodworking friends has had a couple of router bits so long that both of us have forgotten, until now.

I have the Bosch ROS65VC because it was the lowest cost of those I considered higher end sanders. I have not been disappointed, flawless finish. It has great balance with the 6" pad, but is not as...

Yep, that would be a challenge if you work alone. Congratulations on seeing it through. I'm sure there were a few moments when it seemed like you had bit off far too much.

Do you get free...

Derek, you are a gifted builder of jigs. You should build one of my horizontal router mortisers. It will change your way of woodworking with regards to mortising, and so much more.

I suspect your equipment is better than most, Brian. I read all the time on here about problems people have with chisel mortisers. Most hobbiests have bench top units, which seem pretty light duty...

There's no need to make integral tenons unless you want to make exposed through tenons. Loose tenons work just as well for nearly every project and that eliminates the need for a chisel mortiser. A...

Several accessories were made for the Dewalt 925 RAS. There was a molding head guard, for sure. The right end of the motor arbor is threaded, and I suspect there must have been a chuck that fit...

He's missing a digit on his left hand. Perhaps that's what you meant. If not, he did it anyway.

When I get so thin sanding veneer on my double drum sander that I'm worried about the sanding belts hitting the conveyor, I put a sled under the veneer with a fence at the back. Nothing else. It...

Oh I've never done something so stupid! Well, maybe. OK, yes, I have, and more than once. And the more time you've already put into the piece the more it hurts.

Thanks for posting that, Jim. ...

Ok then, if they really are fingertip marks, and you didn't put them there, then someone else did after delivery. How long did you let it cure before you delivered the table? And how long after...

If what you are seeing is fingertip marks, I offer a couple of potential reasons. If you see the marks in the top surface then either you touched the surface before it was dry, or you left a...

Grizzly and Felder operate in different worlds. You'd pay twice as much, just to pick a number, for a Felder machine and then have to pay to have their tech come out to fix it if something goes...

Yes, that will happen with open loop steppers if the load gets too high. On my machine, it could if you try to run production rates on it; I don't really know, I've never tried to do that. At...

Door thickness doesn't matter unless you will have two doors abutting each other, or a cabinet against a wall. In that case, the reveal has to increase. But for a one sided 18 mm overlay, the...

Countersink the screws, then face joint it. 1/4" deep should be plenty.

Before that, if the wood doesn't fit flat on the metal fence, and it probably won't since it's not flat, then relieve the...

Those look great, Michael. You are absolutely right about one offs being a huge time suck using the CNC. 95% design work, 5% milling. Except for those really cool drawer fronts, I bet you could...

That was very thoughtful of you, Maurice, to actual show those on both mahogany and maple. I really appreciate your efforts. Were those photos taken right after you did the testing or after they...

Did you check to see if the jointer tables are flat and coplaner? You may have more than one problem.

If the fence is cast iron, don't try to bend it. It needs to be ground to make it flat. ...

I would think so. My 14 hp sawmill runs on one VX belt. That's a pretty nasty environment; heat, lubricant, other nasty stuff and yet they typically last for over 100 hours of run time.
