Yeah, I think Chris & Co. are genuinely dedicated evangelists in this fine hand tool renaissance - I don't think they'd want to keep anything they do "proprietary".
I don't think posting pics of...
There are a wedge and a bridge in the rack-and-pinion assembly of the vise that are angled relative to the long vise axis - you snug the vise jaw against the work, and just turn the vise handle...
I stopped in Friday at lunch and hung out for a while - lots of good stuff to see. Chris was a pleasure to talk with as usual. He showed us a picture for the new book he'd just been emailed from...
Thanks for the info, Phil - I'll check it out.
Timely topic - I'm getting ready to do this in my newly-framed basement shop.
Others have mentioned that the odor of the two-part isn't too bad - has anyone done this in a basement shop with no...
So good! :D
Hey Mark,
Thanks for the info. I am planning to attend, my wife and I will be driving from Cincinnati on Friday morning, hopefully early enough to catch the 'tailgaters' for a bit.
Live Free or Die Indianapolis?
I was planning on driving over to the LFOD auction in Indianapolis on the 18th - I've never been to one.
How does the tailgate sale work? It's listed as starting at 7am, and the auction starts at...
Agreed. I was just telling my wife after perusing the last issue that PWW is what Fine Woodworking used to be...
I wish they'd add a reader's gallery, then I'd really have no reason to pick up...
Could you expand on this a bit? It seems unnecessary to have all of your tools on separate circuits in a one man shop. If your table saw and jointer never run at the same time, isn't it sufficient...
I caught it - first one I've watched for some time. For built-in kitchen cabinets, I had no problems with his methods.
Lots of cabinet makers I know use kreg-type systems for face frame assembly....
They do this with bamboo flooring - "carbonized" is the term in that biz.
I would guess that maybe it is advantageous in flooring, where you might expect to refinish the work several times over...
Moisture in the walls is inevitable if you have a warm living space - plan for it instead of trying to avoid it.
The Building Sciences treatise posted above is excellent. I just went through this...
There already is one!
Phone stops working == Very moist.
:D
Respectfully, I think your examples are apples and oranges. Tone deafness is a defect not much different than hearing impairment - but caused by genetics or brain injury. Foreign language is a...

I think many people underestimate the fact that even people that 'get it' spend a considerable amount of time 'getting it.'
Does that mean that in 20 years FWW will only be chocked full of articles about how to assemble Ikea furniture? :p
It's really not - it's a professional-grade concept modeler, and happens to work really well for woodworking applications. After all, even the most complex woodworking assemblies pale in comparison...
We have a 36" Wolf all-gas. It cost nowhere near four saw stops - maybe one top-end one. :)
It has a fan in the oven, and is not "true" convection - true convection requires the heat to be...
I don't have *a lot* of faith in the warranty concept, but I do know that they wouldn't offer it if they weren't sure that most of their products get from factory to store to home without falling...
+1, with the caveat that you have to watch the rust. I have been less than careful keeping mine dry between flattening, and the substrate has noticeably rusted. This hasn't seemed to affect...
I was referring more to David's reference to engineering 'how is it worth a crap' wrt Ikea.
I would say for the millions of people that cannot afford $300+ piece for a dining room chair, a lot.
Anything that is mass-produced today is developed, at least in part, by engineers.
I do not work with Ikea, but if they are like the dozens of other consumer-goods manufacturers I've worked with,...
The funny thing is, I would guess that there is more bespoke work being done right now than at any other point in history. Surely there have been more painstakingly reproduced Goddard-Townsend...
