Great ideas. Thank you all! g
Thank you, Dave. All great points. You are correct that I'm hoping to make this with a waterfall look running over the curved edge. I appreciate your ideas. g.
Hello. I sure could use some help on this one. I've been asked to make a version of this table. It's about 16' in all dimensions. Any advice how to make the rounded corners so the grain will...
Am installing 2" x 1 1/2" butt hinges on a cabinet I'm building. The doors are to be inset, flush with the face frame. When I close the door, it sort of "springs" open about 1/4". Hinges appear to...
Gentlemen:
These are great ideas! I really appreciate it. For some answers:
Dave R.: wheel size/type will depend on whether I can work out this locking problem. Likely nothing more than a 3...
I'm not even sure what to call it! I want to make a rolling cart that is substantial enough for my wife to use as a cutting board, and to place heavy items she needs to move around the house. ...
Kind of a ship-lap, right? And I like the notion of hiding the joints with the supports for the trays. I'm making those out of spanish cedar as well.
Looking for some real world experience regarding shrinkage of spanish cedar. I'm building a cabinet sized cigar humidor. Interior dimensions are: about 25" tall x 19" wide x 18" deep. Planning to...
I have a Leigh D4 jig. Used it successfully for several years making through dovetails and some occasional half-blind doevetails. Just purchased the parts from Leigh for milling blind dovetails in...
Hi, Joe.
I'm getting ready to build a humidor for myself, so am hoping to see the answers to your questions. Based on my research, however, I wonder whether you need something bigger than humidity...
Consider me entered!
Thanks for the link to the video! Great demonstration.
I replaced the tension spring several years ago with a heavier duty one. (From Iturra, I believe.) Do they wear out? I'm going to try John's suggestion about switching to a 3/8 inch blade to resaw....
The flex angles in one direction, towards the front of the saw. I generally use a pretty slow feed rate, so perhaps it's a dull blade? Really appreciate the response.
Title describes the problem I'm having and can't seem to correct. Whether ripping 3/4 inch stock or trying to resaw a 5 ince piece of cherry, the blade starts out just fine but quickly begins to...
If you have a car, take a drive down the Pike to Old Sturbridge Village. Less than an hour west of Boston. Norm based several of his shows on pieces he found there. Well worth a visit both for...
I've purchased from them with no problems.
This is awesome. I've kept the original FWW article handy over the years. This is a great update. Thanks, Jack and thanks, Ken for doing this.

Thanks everyone. Great ideas. While at the lumber supplier over the weekend to buy the wood I need, I saw some amazing padauk and bought it. Doing research right now regarding finish and glue for...
I'm going to make jewelry boxes for my grandaughters. Three of them. The design I have in mind is a classic lidded box. I'm looking for some ideas for what wood to use. I know that cherry and ...
I agree that RapidAir seems like a great idea and I recently bought their material. The manifolds etc. are all solid and well made. My problem was with the tubing. It simply didn't want to give up...
Some really great information from all of you. Thank you.
I ended up sanding the rough areas and applied some finish from a freshly opened can. All's well now.
Lessons learned.

I'm stumped trying to figure out what I did wrong. After a few coats of finish, a plant stand made of cherry looks like it's barely been sanded, let alone finished!
Here's what I did. First...
Thanks for sharing this idea. Very timely for me. Will this set up work better than cutting a hole in the bottom door of the band saw and attaching a DC hose there? I've seen the door idea in a...
I'm in.
