I'm picturing them Samurai style like Toshiro Mifune journeying on horseback with some very sharp knives in the saddle bag.

Rubio is a two coat thing mostly and it only bonds chemically with wood fibers so they suggest a rough finish to give the stuff more material it can latch onto. I'm using for the first time. Just...

I am fearing that everything you say is true. Thank you for the info on belt sanding machines, good info. Let me just ask this - when you say a high polish are you talking 400 grit? I had hoped to...

Hi Mike, Pls let me know if you can point me to a shop w/ belt sander in town. I'm not a pro but I sand Poplar to 220 but figured nicer hard woods I finish with a plane- never sand.

Christian, thanks I clicked thru to the link and learned a lot- but I always like to see it and also found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC45Cb-p89I&t=1s which exactly squares with my own...

Jamie it's for a coffee table - I'm only concerned with fooling the eye. I know most skills are not 'explainable' but if there's anything you can tell me about how to make this a short job of work...

Couple photos, these replies are a big help! The snipe line is 3" from top running across both planks. Backstory here is I'm 62 and tore my rotator cuff a couple years back on 30 bf of figured cherry...

Sorry Jim, I'm new should have done a better job of reading policy. Thanks for correction instead of removal!

Kevin I'm not a pro woodworker so don't know all the tools you might be referring to but I can't see how you'd workhold an 18" wide slab to any belt. But more important, to my eye sandpaper wrecks...

I took two walnut planks out of town to a shop with a wide ShopFox planer and just noticed they have noticeable snipe in last 3 inches- abt .020 They are clean and have been scanned for metal. I...

Hey Mike, I'm in Gentilly on Mandeville. I had wondered about end grain, I guess I could do that but will try to avoid. I'm gonna go to Riverside Lumber to look for some Wenge. I'd like to chat...

and thanks again, after looking at those woods online- especially the wenge is exactly what I was hoping to find.

Thanks for that John - I'll start looking that way - cheers!

I'm tooling up to make 8 coffee table replicas of a table my dad made that I just really like. The tops are a solid plank 1.5 x 16 x 48 but I came across some figured cherry I liked so much I bought...

Thanks for that, I had found that and a couple others before I bought - people spoke well of the machines so I thought might be good for 150. This one is not, I am going to overhaul it and then sell...

Bill - yes people call it a Delta clone - so I had your same thought but the delta is similar but entirely different. Also an old Grizz was mentioned but I really want a drawing or two of the thing...

Maurice, thank you - thats really what I wanted to know, it looks like a crappy website but they come thru with whats needed - great info - very much appreciate your help and tip.

Maurice, appreciate it, I went there but it looks sketchy, no photo of the manual, no sample page to confirm they have it straight up. Have you ever used this source to get a manual? I'd pay the $10...

It almost sounds like you've got something against overkill. But yeah it's grade 5, it didnt sheer the head, it sheered mid shaft. Like I said above a previous owner could have replaced it- I donno....

I'm new on forum and resisting springing $6 to look at pics - altho this makes me consider it. I used to make movie camera hand grips out of Bastogne, the best stuff I think is English and French but...

Drove 3 hrs today for a "running" AMT 4650 planer. Guy wanted 200, it ran like a screeching gerbil wheel pumped thru a rock n roll PA system. I gave him 100 and just blew 20 years of squirrel nest...

I would think Rockwell engineers made good decisions, but all companies have to build to a price as well. I removed 3 grade 5 bolts - prob original - if so- there you go. Seems like the right bolt....

I sorta got it - it was a fistfight in a phone booth - got the blade running within 1/100 of miter slot. I picked up one shortie 3/4" long 5/16 bolt for my bum socket and three 1 inch. The shortie...

Bill do I have a LATHE!? I have my grandfathers 120 yr old Seneca Falls 9" with a quick change post and all the tooling. He was an MIT engineer and only used it for delicate stuff at home so it's...
