    Name That Wood................

    It seems that while amassing a small collection of turning blanks, I have lost, mislabeled or otherwise just forgotten a species or two…or maybe 3. So I come to you looking for direction. I come looking for wisdom, for I am just a mere novice when it comes to wood identification. The first 4...

    Circular Saw Problems!?!?!?

    I have a Dewalt circular saw...got it about 10 years ago. It has worked fine up until recently...a few bumps here and there along the way...but always something I could fix. Recently I went to use it and found that it will not cut at 90 degrees. I have changed the blade, checked the angle...
