    Just makes you want to cry moment

    Thanks to everyone for saying hello. I was finishing my Adirondack chair sample this evening and it brought to mind one of the saddest times I had woodworking. I’m sure you all can identify with this. This took place about 25 years ago. My wife and I had just moved into our first house...

    This makes me chuckle...

    Obviously we are in high demand that someone would go as far as forging their registration to get some info off NCWW. This is an e-mail reply I got after denying an out of area registrant - On Thu, 14 Oct 2010, Dave O'Nan wrote: > Hey Sean, I can't accept your registration as it is...

    Some figured wood makes all the difference

    View image in gallery If you find the right sawyer, the little extra you pay for the special wood can make all the difference in the final outcome. When you figure a project with 200 hours to complete and the cost of boards even at 10/bf it just isn't that much in the end. If it sits in...

    David Marks makes Krenov style plane.....

    While I was clearly not wasting time surfing the internet looking for a guide on how to duct tape chicken feathers to a bowling ball, I happened across this gem: http://www.diynetwork.com/videos/european-hand-plane/39703.html I think the link is good, it was as of five minutes ago :-)...

    what a difference a blade makes!

    Had to say it. LOML and I picked up some cedar CSkipper expressed from Newtowood for us. Sheever so kindly gave us some scrollblades while we were there. WOW! imagine the difference you see when putting in a fresh blade after a dull one. Now imagine about 4 times the difference. The 'cheap' one...

    What makes you happy?

    A large pile of shavings makes my day. One of the advantages of being the teacher. I get to rough out a lot of big bowls. This started out as a 16" poplar Hollow Form a student had worked on one class period already, so I just had to help him rough it out. It is around 14.5" now. :rotflm:Poplar...

    What makes TS inserts grow????

    This has me stumped:dontknow:! I have a Delta Contractor Table Saw purchased about 3 years ago. I replaced the standard inset with a Zero clearance insert almost immediately. Now, 3+ years later, I tried to put the original insert back and it's too BIG! I've checked/cleaned both the insert and...

    What a difference a belt makes!

    I "upgraded" my PM Artisan today by replacing the worn V belt with a new PowerTwist link belt. WOW! What a difference! Smoother, quieter! Should have done that long ago. :icon_thum Got the belt at Industrial Supply in Albemarle for $5.95/ft, which seemed OK to me based on pricing on some...

    Makes my back hurt?

    I was getting tired of having to lug my jointer around the shop to use it. 200 plus pounds was making my back really hurt anytime I used it. I was getting to the point that it sat in the corner more than it was used. So I had the idea to buy a mobile base for it until I started pricing the...

    Who makes my Craftsman TS?

    I've been looking to get a PALS system for my old Craftsman contractors saw. I need to know if it was built by Emerson or Ryobi. Anyone know how to tell? The model # is 113.298762 if that helps. Is this made in China? Not even sure when this saw was made but it's fairly old. Thanks! Oh, this is...

    When A Piece Makes You Sad

    A few years ago my oldest son (now 10) noticed an elderly lady in our church had been using an old shoebox for a footstool on Sunday mornings because her feet didn't reach the floor. Well, he and several other boys sat with her every morning before going down to children's church and she had...

    What a difference 3 years makes

    I made this cherry cradle 3 years ago for my granddaughter. I used a very light coat of Pa. cherry stain (yeah, yeah, I know, that's a no-no). The picture with the light finish was taken in Sept 2003 after that stain was applied and the one showing the darker finish was taken two weeks ago. The...
