Years ago I built this table for my baby daughter, then comes the grand kids who did an excellent job of trashing the original top. So I am replacing with a one inch thick, solid top. Maybe this one...

Nice chest, please post finished pics Gordon.

Swanky! Love your side panels and the chest overall is great. Walnut is my favorite!

DeWalt, hands down, for the buck is a great portable. But I gave mine to a family member and now use a 15" Jet Floor Model. If you are going to plan on planing a lot of wood I would go for a floor...

Timber Wolf (Suffolk Machinery) will make blades in any length you need. Tell them the brand and type saw you have and they will even recommend the best blade size and pitch for you. Don't try to...

One of my favorite tools is my drum sander in fact the only ones I use more are my saws and planer. More often than not for big glue up's I have to use the drum sander because of it's width capacity....

Dave:
If that's all the chipping you have it won't interfere with the blade performance/finish characteristics to be noticeable. I have the identical blade with a few chips and it still cuts true...

I have an 18" Rikon and it would be very difficult to remove the blade to the side. It only takes a couple of minutes to reset the fence anyway. I did modify the original fence with a much better...

Go all the way to the bed! Course, it ain't a wood master either. Maybe yours has a stop built in. I have plained down to 1/4" inch. Any thiner than that and I would use a sled, even at 5/16" it...

Spent most of Saturday installing my sliding Miter saw and setting it up. Then I took a nap!

Urethane, hands down.

I give it to my nasty neighbors for their flowers :D

For the money, you can't beat Timber Wolf saw blades. I have been using them for years with excellent results. (http://www.suffolkmachinery.com/).
Don't try to e-mail them, just use their 800 number...

Yes they are Walnut. I designed them to work with an overlap of the top in the back. I enjoyed making them more than the chest! Thanks.

Thanks Charles, it's been too cold here to finish in my shop. Today is much warmer at 25 degrees ;)

Will make any blade length you want, but don't try to e-mail, you will have to call them. I only had one blade from them over the years that was defective (bad weld). They responded immediately with...

I know it's been a while since I posted anything but would like to share this cedar chest I built for my baby daughter. It took too long to do but I had fun. It has Walnut corners/base/hinges, Cherry...

Hi Tony:
The biggest problem I have with Cedar is that it is brittle. you have to be careful with glue-ups too because of the oily nature of the wood. Other than that it machines and finishes well....

Well done and congratulations to the both of you Karl. It just gets better with time believe me. I am working on 41 years with my first wife (and only). In the mean time I have more projects than...

Hi Folks:
I am making a Cedar chest for my baby daughter and have had issues with this oily wood. What procedure would you recommend to prep the wood for wipe on Poly? I tried Alcohol (worked great...

Industrial Abrasive products, because frankly they out perform any one else I have tried and they also have excellent prices, delivery and support. I order all of their product off the net, see below...
