    Byrd Shelix Cutterhead

    Grizzly has a sale on the Shelix cutterheads. I know they retrofit well for their jointers, but I have an 8" Bridgewood and they do have a "generic" Shelix cutterhead for it. But I have read stories where getting the bearings onto the new cutterhead has been a bear for some folks. I would...

    I've got an 18-volt Dewalt NiCad Drill/Driver that is about 4-5 years old. My batteries have not been taking a solid charge recently - Is there any way to tell (other than buying new ones) whether it's the batteries or the charger? If it's the charger then I would buy a new one - if it's the...

    BeadLock

    I hope this is the right forum for this question... I have been looking at the BeadLock jig sold by Rockler to form loose tenons in some large frame and panel pieces I'll be making. I look at the BeadLock as a poor-man's Domino. Although the "pro" jig and accessories for 1/2" tenons as well as...

    Spray gun

    I am looking for a HVLP or LVLP gun to run off of a compressor. I've looked at SATA but their guns are quite expensive. Any suggestions for a decent gun a bit lower in price? Also, can these guns spray the typical WW finishes as well as Latex Paint? Thanks, Mitch

    I am what I'd call an intermediate level (assuming there is a way to measure) woodworker. I've made a pencil post bed, my dining room set and a number of boxes and such. I'd like to try my hand at curved front furniture but what has always daunted me is cutting dovetails and M & T's on curved...
