    What's the secret to cutting beads?

    Whenever I attempt to cut a 1/4" wide bead using a Crown beading tool, typically when I'm 95% complete the middle portion of the bead will lose a few chunks of wood. Materials that this has occured in include oak, walnut, and sycamore. Obviously it is operator error; what am I doing wrong...

    What is the 34706 secret handshake?

    Got it. The 34706. It fit in the trunk of my Volvo 240 (with the spare tire relocated). I have already busted/stripped my first handle on the tool rest but I am very, very happy with this bad boy. First thing I did was load up 360 pounds of cement bags and after reinforcing the frame with...

    Spalt & Pepper compliment secret sauce :-)

    When Jeff sent me two blanks from his Sycamore/Secret Sauce experiment, one stood out to me as exceptional! I knew I had to do something to show off this wood. I had been looking for an opportunity to experiment myself with a 'high end' pen. I ordered the 'Statesman' from Craft Supplies USA...

    Another secret sauce pen.

    Here's my results. The blank drilled well. It turned a little more brittle than regular sycamore I have turned in the past. There was some pretty good sized voids "under the covers" of the surface of the original blank. I filled them in with some fine sawdust from the turning of the blank...

    Thanks to Phil, I finally found a source for the current tap I was seeking. I ordered one and had it shipped because the Sears site said there were none in the Wilson store. Well guess what, I visited the local store the other day on lunch break and lo and behold, they didn't have one, they...

    craftsman's best kept secret - #24031.73335.23479 When I built my new shop and installed my new dust collection system, I thought I would never need a little gadget that I had used for quite a few years. My chop saw was connected to the dust collection system, but, because I only used it...
