    Cherry Sale - Capital City Lumber

    15/16 something QS, I think i can handle. however, in flat sawn cherry which in my past moves quite a bit, that's not thick enough. to be fair, i think 3/4 looks meager and I like a finished thickness of 7/8 most of the time. also, i've gotten case hardened wood from there and then 4/4 s2s is...

    Dewalt Plunge Router DW616 complaints

    The spring action in the plunge is so strong that the locking mechanism will sometimes un-engage and come flying back up. I've eaten into several templates this way. Its also just alarming to have this thing lunge out of the plunge back at you while still cutting. I sold all my old porter...

    Couch Tray Structure Question

    I would remove the cross brace under the table top because due to weight. your design will be top heavy. you can dowel for sure. see my version below which uses thru tenons but dowels woudl achieve the same thing.

    Plywood or Veneer

    while hammer veneering is an option, not a very good one for large scale projects. I think you might have an issue with applying the veneer unless you have a large vac bag or other type of press. the work associated wtih that might be prohibitive.

    Match Fit Dovetail Clamps

    I love them. I use them a ton. the clamps themselves are my favorite small clamp. The small, single point of contact is perfect for getting pressure in a very specific area. I have bought some amazon knockoffs (couldn't find the exact ones). they were like $15 apiece instead of $25 or 30. I had...

    Haven't posted in a while: new project - small wall cabinet

    final pictures. View of the "cracked ice" back panel. It was QS maple core with scrap veneer as the balance veneer on the back. the bathroom is low light and small so having a piece that is a bit wild in figure and experimental in design seemed okay. I wanted to do a project with solid core...

    a good price here puts you in some gray area. >Are you wanting to buy another one after a couple projects or or no? >when using a flushing bit, how much waste are you leaving....i.e. how much stress, heat, and junk build up are you going to put on it? how you work will determine whether...

    consider me another lover of the bimetal. a little wider kerf but really good results. but....everything has a cost and they are expensive. does the bimetal last twice as long as two half price blades? eh maybe.

    Straight edge for breadboard ends

    do you have a shoulder plane? you could straighten that way. Also, remember this with breadboards.....if it looks right, it is right. I've had my underside shoulder but a little more relieved (small gap) just so the top side shoulder was dead tight.
