    Getting Close to the Short Rows

    It has been a while since any progress has been posted with the chest, but progress has been made. It has been slow going, partly due to the heated shop this past summer.:gar-La; The top came from one board, the misses really liked the color. The pic does not do it justice, but I must admit...

    Close Call for the shop

    Last night I woke up standing next to the bed wondering what had exploded in the back yard. There had been a bright flash of light and similtaneous shot like a rifle only louder. This morning I walked out to see if there had been any damage and there was a 6' X 2" by 2" piece of oak stripped...

    PE Request: RTP area to Va. Beach, (or close)

    Tim Pierce (dupont6480) recently bought a Jet AFS1000b air filter I advertised for sale. I live in Sanford/ RTP, and he in Va. Beach, so we agreed that I would ship it to him.....I boxed it up and ran by Fed-Ex today, and found out that that option was a little cost prohibitive.....($175!) If...

    Heating Season Safety (close call)

    Susan (Bkind2Anmls) recently started a thread which contained a poll about our shop heating methods. Looking at that poll I saw that a lot of us use open flames as a heat source. Yesterday my daughter called me from CT to check and make sure I had a CO detector in my house since one of her...

    OK, that was too close ! (updated with tips)

    The majority of my working career was spent in public safety, Police/Fire/Rescue so I consider myself a pretty safety minded individual. Today I was working in the shop when a brief but violent thunderstorm rolled in. I decided to keep on working using the logic that the shop was just as safe as...

    Proposed post to close the resignation threads

    This thread was left open so that people could express their thoughts, and you have done so. There is a lot that went into Steve’s decision and this situation is not simple. It was not tied to the OT forum or posts that violated the policies. I spent most of yesterday dealing with the fallout...

    Looking for cedar close to Concord

    My wife has tasked me with building a small table and bench for outdoors playing for my kids. Does anybody know where I can find some decent (no need for FAS) ceder around the concord/kannapolis/mooresville area? I don't mind driving a bit. Thanks!

    Walnut home/office ... ever so close

    I had posted pictures of this home/office a while back -- thanks for all the input on how to put a finish on it. In the end, it was just too much for me so I hired a local contractor. It's almost almost almost done. Just a few more trim pieces. And shoe molding. And some more shelf pins to...

    When to close a thread

    I just saw where Sapwood closed a thread in the " Hot deals" forum because the item had been sold. Is there any preference as to how long to leave a thread open after it's been "satisfied"? I'm running into this in my forum and don't want to cut anyone off prematurely. Being the dedicated...

    close call - kickback

    Well, I knew it was going to happen. I was ripping a bevel on a long, thin piece of hardboard. I have a right-tilt saw...and was not using a hold-down on the fence. I had just completed this operation earlier, but the smooth side of the hardboard was down and the rough side was up -- making it...

    Close Call

    I was putting a 7 deg. bevel on a 1/2" X 2" X 16" piece of maple on the TS awhile ago. I used a feather board and a thin push stick. Just before I completed the cut, the off cut wedged between the throat plate and the blade, stalling the motor and pushing the work piece through the throat...

    Thank you doesn't even come close~

    So here I was, minding my own business when the sound of a large truck came up the drive. Much to my surprise it was the UPS van. Not expecting anything we went out to see whom they were having trouble finding. The driver said my name and handed us a package. Opening the box, I was stunned to...

    Need someone with a bandsaw in or close to Salisbury

    I am in need of a little assistance from someone with a bandsaw. I have eight small pieces from a set of end tables that need to have an arc cut on one edge. The pieces are around 20"x 2 1/2" by 3/4 thick. I also have eight feet for the same tables that need to have a small arc cut in them...

    I think this is close enough

    I just finished building a crosscut sled a couple of days ago. I used the 5 cut method and a digital caliper and the fence is within .002. Considering that is 4 times the variance, that ain't too shabby. :eusa_danc This was after the first attempt of squaring the fence so it was dumb luck to get...

    What's Close Enough??

    What is a reasonable expectation for aligning the blade and miter slots on a table saw? I understand that the separation measurements at the front and rear of the blade should be the same, but what is acceptable as a tolerance?:dontknow: I have a Delta Hybrid table saw and spent an afternoon...

    Close Call!

    I was attaching the main section of a chest to the bottom today. Somehow my execution of this was poor on and I broke through the outside of the bottom right side rail. :BangHead: Not a pretty sight. :crybaby2: Although I am very bummed about this I did realize that the trim that goes on...
