    Curved moulding by hand

    I've always envisioned that's what a CNC machine does automatically?

    Asheville Hardware

    Last time I was at Gennett's, they complained that Catawba Hardwoods had taken their commercial business away and the small retail customer wasn't worth their while.

    Moving Large Logs

    The Wood Mizer site was a great suggestion. There are 8-10 local sawyers to reach out to. I'm not too good of a redneck!

    Moving Large Logs

    I had taken down a rather large White Pine because it was leaning toward some electrical wires. Seems a shame to waste the wood, so I'd like to have it sawn into dimensional lumber for using in a future workshop. There are several sawmills here in Asheville that do custom sawing, but I can't...

    Interesting video of making butcher block panels.

    Makes my power tools seem like kid's toys. How'd you like the job of keeping them all running accurately?! Nice film.

    Jewelry Cabinet

    It's not the cost of materials or time to make a large jewelry box. It's the cost of the jewelry the wife will spend to fill it!

    I'm beginning to wish I had a track saw..

    I bought a TrueTrac saw system at a trade show and have used it often. Less expensive than Festool and just as versatile. They have a special table you can make that gets the clamps off the workbench. I have an 8 foot track and a 4 foot. I also have a router bottom that fits the track that cuts...

    Chinese furniture inlay work

    WAY too many people in China with WAY too much time on their hands! They produce incredibly detailed art and craftsmanship.

    SawStop Questions

    I have the 3HP SawStop with the cast iron table extensions, along with the cast iron router attachment. Very solid feel and I love it. It is a big improvement over the old Bench Dog router table I used for many years. If you need the full width of the saw, it takes only seconds to remove the...

    Ridgid warrantee made useless

    Had a similar situation with a roller stand I bought at Lowe's. The tightening screw stripped out after about 6 months of use. Stated a year warranty on paperwork. Tried to take it back, but was told the warranty was with the company, not Lowe's. Tried to contact company. No contact info on...

    Puzzle cabinet finally completed

    How in the world did you figure all that out just by seeing a box in a display case in a museum?! Very impressive!

    Garage heater

    I also have one of the larger 240 heaters from Northern in my 2 car garage workshop. Even though it is insulated with 6" of foam insulation, rarely will it raise the temperature above 55 degrees. When I have the aerial Jet air filter on, it circulates the air nicely though. Not toasty, but...
