    Not Easily Discouraged

    How's it going folks? I hope everybody has been doing well. So, I preface this to say that I'm not easily discouraged, but recently I've run into a string of shop issues that have made me take a few days off from the shop. The main issue is I just recently bought the Wen 14" bandsaw. It...

    Couple Questions

    Good afternoon folks! I hope everybody's had a good weekend and got some shop time. I'm dealing with a fairly large infestation of wasps, so I haven't had as much as I'd like. So, the questions. My dad is a big fan of the Kreg pocket hole jig, but I just feel like the quality of the joints is...

    Mahogany....pallets?

    Just recently found a sawmill nearby that does hardwood decking. They have a pile outside their fence with a giant free wood sign. I BELIEVE I picked up two mahogany pallets. Each pallet weighed about 80-100 pounds. Has anyone seen this before?

    I've never had any training in wood work.

    I guess I'm on the younger side at thirty. I'm actually working towards making woodworking a career right now. Unfortunately, my wife has cancer and I can't do much traveling. Also, right now it doesn't seem that there is a very active community in my area. I want to go to the picnics and...

    Saving for my first lathe

    I'm down in the Wilmington area, but I'll throw in my two cents. I haven't done a lot of lathe work, but my HF lathe has absolutely kicked butt. I've had it for about eleven years and I've never had any issue with it at all. I originally bought it in 2007 because I had been commissioned to...

    Charlotte - Shop Tours/Things to See?

    Good morning! I live in Wilmington, but I'll be in Charlotte until Tuesday with my wife. She's starting a cancer treatment trial at the hospital and unfortunately, she doesn't have the energy to get out and do a whole lot, but I'm free to get out and about if I would like to. I haven't spent...

    Advice Request (?)

    I appreciate all of the great responses everybody! However, I feel like I should clarify. I wasn't looking for advice for myself as much as I was thinking it would be a great post to have for any new woodworkers that find themselves on our wonderfully inviting site. I DID ask that age old...

    Advice Request (?)

    I've only been on the site for a short time, but I've already come to realize how much knowledge, skill, and experience the veterans of this site have to offer to newbie woodworkers like myself. One thing I haven't been able to find is a good post of advice for beginners. There is a lot of...

    Inlay Question

    Thanks, Dan! I'm not quite ready to give it a go yet, but I definitely will soon!

    Inlay Question

    I appreciate it. I'm actually surprised to find out the bronze/brass was removeable. In my mind I thought it would fill into the fiber a little like glue and be really difficult to remove. At that point it's easier to just make the exact cast you want to inlay and do it the normal way.
