It was indeed a Craftsman with the wedge cutter head. It causes the blade position to shift as you tighten the wedge, this may have just left a bad taste in my mouth. So it seems like this could be...

The helical cutter isn't necessarily just about cut quality. I've grown to hate changing jointer knives with a passion on the crappy Craftsman jointer I currently have. The indexed inserts on the...
I'm looking at a used Blue Jet JJ-6CSX Jointer. This is the older model which used a 3/4HP motor instead of the 1HP motor. Eventually I would want to upgrade the cutter head to the Byrd Helix. Does...
I plan on using the Quarter Sawn sections for the front legs. I have separate "prime" 8/4 heartwood which I bought for the rear legs, and it's in great shape. The crest rail for the chair is about...
I have about 6 8 foot cherry boards. Some have a lot of sapwood and bark still attached. The wood in question is all from same 8 foot board as shown in two pictures. I sectioned it myself based on...
I'm beginning my most ambitious project to date, dining chairs, and I'm currently in the process of initial jointing/planing to establish my boards. I'm using 8/4 rough cut cherry to get to 1 1/2...

Just some occasional PC games, not anything special. Most people tend to have all sorts of lights and windows to display the components. I'm odd in that I'm trying to hide everything inside a normal...
This is the complete computer drawer. Everything for the computer is completely self contained. I'll be back home in January to slide it into the cabinet.

This will be putting out a bit more heat than a traditional dell. I'll be mounting the radiator for the water loop at the front, so I wanted to be sure to feed it with cool air. I've used this model...

Computer desk with built in computer.
This is the first major wood working project I have ever done. I receive a lot of help from members of this forum. I'm not quite finished with the computer section yet, but I thought I would share my...
I have Charles Neil blotch control which I planned on using for the table top and other plywood sections. I could potentially use that to prevent the blotch, but I'm worried that it will kill the...
I sanded this to 220, so maybe I should back down to 180.
Prashun, all three pictures are of the same board.
The maple I'm working with seems to have some nice figure, which I'm trying to make pop. I'm using a transtint dye, and started testing things out on a scrap piece left over from my drawer. Towards...
I planned on only doing three coats on the curly maple hardwood. I want to use the technique where you and in between coats to make the figure pop more.
My reason for water based poly was that it was less amber. I'm interested in using the mission brown dye. It already has some yellow in it, but I don't know that I wan't any more. Oil poly alone will...
So my plan is to do the following:
1. Spray Charles Neil Blotch Control (Probably only on the table top and other maple plywood surface)
2. Wipe on 3 coats of TranTint dye with sanding in between...
Based on some additional research I'm now looking at using water based transtint instead of alcohol based. I may be able to use a friends sprayer, but for now I'm assuming that I will not have access...
I'll definitely be doing some experimenting on some of the scrap pieces that I have. Has anyone used timbermate wood filler? I've seen a lot of good reviews on it and how well it works for stains...
Is it feasible to make an inlay in a plywood surface?
It was an A1 grade sheet, so it's actually about $100 a sheet. I plan on dyeing it to finish it.

I'm building a desk out of maple, and so far most of my research has pointed me to dyeing. I would like to mimic what was done in option 3 in this link:...
I took some pictures of the two gouge locations. One of them is about 3/8"x1/8" the other is 2/8"x2/8". Both these gouges are located in the middle of the table top. I tried to demo the sawdust and...
I just cut my tabletop to size, it consists of a 7x2 maple plywood sheet. After making the cut I made the horrifying discovery that there was a screw left on the workbuench , ant it tore up the...
