I have a stupid question. How is this installed? Is it tongue and groove, thus nailing through the tongue, or is it face nailed some how?

Thanks,

Hi,

I was hoping that someone with a micrometer could measure the diameter of the roller end that the sprocket is on. Mine is broke, and I know of a good quality machine shop that might be able...

Barry,

Very nice work also. I have a couple questions if you don't mind. Is there a special glue you have to use because of the food contact issues?

Also, what have you found to be the best...

Thanks Guys,

Russ I do have a manual, and the video. After watching a little bit of the video, I was so excited to try it that I turned it off and started to set the jig up. When I got to the...

Thanks again,

I recently bought a used Leigh Dovetail Jig, Model D1258R-24. It came with the following:
Router Bits, Leigh #70, #80, and #140. It also came with what appears to be a collar, with Leigh...

Very nice job Michael! I really enjoy the "Arts and Crafts" look.

Are the vertical uprights 5/4 or 6/4?

Thanks,

Scott

The bench really looks great! Very nice job! Is that going in the living room or the dining room?

Scott

Thanks for all the great ideas so far.

I'll probabally try to sell the stuff on Craigslist for now.

Any more ideas, keep them coming.


Thanks,

Scott

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some ideas or suggestions for projects. I have some extra time now and I am planning on building some projects that I can list for sale. Things that come to mind are...

Top notch job Gary!

Did you use QS white oak, or QS red oak on the bed.

If you don't mind commenting on the cost of the wood, I would be interested what the board foot price is.

Thanks...

Does anyone know if they still have a price matching policy?

Scott

Thanks to everyone who replied with all the great opinions.

I think I will hold off, since I don't have an imediate use for it. I noticed it on a classified ad thought it might be a nice...

Does anyone have one of the Porter Cable Profile sanders? If so, are they worth the investment? How well do they work?

I have a chance to buy a used one in good condition.

Thanks,

Matt,

I really appreciate your help with the color matching. It'll be awhile before I get the pieces cleaned, then I can start some repair work.

Thanks to everyone with the suggestions for...

Matt,

I would be interested in the three minwax stains you use. There is a good chance this furniture came from Ohio. He could not keep up (one man shop) so he brought some furniture up from...

Thanks for the help guys.

I did hear him say that it is a catalysed finish.

If I have to replace any of the wood, what is the best finish I can put on to match what's current.

Thanks...
