    How to move a PJ882

    Sold my PJ882 (and yes, it hurts) and this is how we got it on the trailer. David showed up with his A-frame in pieces, we bolted it together, chain hoist to raise, lift jack to move and winched onto trailer. This is how you do it.

    Kreg walnut plugs?

    I tell you, that Fred is almost a wizard. If he had said 3/8" instead of 1/2' he would have earned a gold star. For those of you making your own, in order to match the severe angle on the factory plugs, I used the Kreg jig and a standard 3/8' drill to make a deep pocket hole in a blank...

    Kreg walnut plugs?

    I need to put in 8 Kreg pocket screws in a walnut kiddie thing I'm building, and I am so cheap I don't want to drive to WoodCraft to buy a box of 50. Does anybody have ten spare walnut Kreg plugs they will mail me for a couple of $$$? Yeah, 10, because I'll find a way to screw two of them up.

    Kitchen table top help

    Well, the sharp, crisp corners on my walnut table top are impressive to me, but I wonder about the impact on grandkids as they impact the table. So... Radius the corners? What dimension? Really rounded, like using a spray can as a gauge? Or just slightly rounded so it's barely noticed...

    Tips on securing tabletop breadboard

    Okay, guys, great advice, but I have several "how to" and "why" questions. First, what is the purpose of cutting out parts of the tenon? Can't I just leave the tenon full length? Is there a movement issue here? Second, I'm thinking of using a plunge router with 3/8" spiral upcut. Is...

    Tips on securing tabletop breadboard

    Darn... it turned out much better than expected. SO.... I know I need to glue and pin the center board, but any tips or tricks on pinning the outer edges? REMEMBER, we're dealing with discount walnut here. (Wow...I had a B eye Tee Sea Haitch of a time getting enough of Charlie's walnut to...

    One man's trash...

    One man's trash is generally another man's trash, contrary to what you thought. However, I have a rather large assortment of walnut off-cuts and shorts and walnut firewood. I also have a friend who heats with a wood stove. If you're close by Wilton (halfway between Creedmoor and...

    Walnut....$1 per plank

    Well, just got back from Charlie. For $15, I really believe I can build two dining tables. When you can buy 4x4x14' walnut for a buck a board, that's hard to turn down. About 1/3 of what I got will wind up in the wood stove, but the other 2/3 should turn out nicely If I don't get two tables...

    Walnut....$1 per plank

    Well hello again. Charlie Wilson the Walnut man is getting desperate, he's gotta move the remaining lumber and is down to $1 per plank. Not per board foot, but per plank. The stuff is being loaded and moved tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 2nd, and after it finds a new home, will keep it covered...

    Never ran a floor sander before

    I wimped out and rented an oscillating sander for my shop floor. That's a waste of time. It will work, and won't burn, but plan on two hours per hundred square feet PER grit. I went 40 then 60 then 100 and was completely whupped. If ever again I do this, I'll be brave enough to use a real...

    Osc Spindle Sander Opinions

    I have the HF model. After about three sandings, an electric fragrance wafted through the air, followed shortly by an acrid cloud of smoke. I removed, cleaned and re-inserted the brushes, and it has behaved since (about a year). Other than that early foul-up, it seems to work well. I can't...

    Look what was hiding in that wood

    Since it's a dogwood tree and not a hen dispensing eggs, it is NOT laying, it is (was?) lying on the ground. Suggestion? Goblet. Great looking mallets, BTW.
