    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 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...

    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...

    Air dried Walnut - 200bf for $100

    Hi kids, I've been away a while, but an opportunity to pick up some walnut has come up. You old timers on here will remember a year or so ago we tried to help Charlie Wilson get rid of his stash of walnut. Well, Charlie just called me. He's willing to make a deal. You get 200bf of old old...

    Whut have I done?

    After spending the greater part of this nice mild winter working on my chairs and tables, and moving them as well as the ugly (in my mind) tables for my kids out of the shop, I was possessed with the urge to clean up a bit. It's what, three weeks to spring (vernal equinox)? The days are...

    Tuesday Update Walnut Thread

    I just got off the phone with Mr. Walnut. I don't think he realized how a NCWW wood sale works, with all the folks involved in small transactions. He was hoping that I could find him a single buyer, but I'm not a broker. We discussed the logistics of trying to part out this wood hoard, and...

    UPDATED 10,000-15,000 BF walnut

    I just got a call from a friend of mine who is an attorney (okay, no jokes, he's a real estate guy) who put me in touch with someone who needs to move 10-15 THOUSAND board feet of walnut rather quickly. I have not seen it, it's air dried, he's been collecting it over the past 30 years. It's...

    Splayed leg table

    After spending a couple of fun-filled months in the shop making these I needed something to fill my time and mollify the need to actually build something. So, after a lot of deliberation, and making a prototype from old pine studs, I created this: There will be ample room on the table...

    Plug cutter update

    While browsing through the new McFeelys catalog looking at plug cutters, I happened to read through a description of the cutter that suggested "For best results, drill to full depth of cutter." I chucked up my Snappy, grabbed a piece of scrap and cut deeply. Popped it out with a...

    Plugging countersinks

    Here are four things that everybody (except for me and three other members) knew. This is for you three guys. Background: For the last two months, I have been making adirondacks from some cherry Ivey cypress. Cherry, in this context, refers to a primo slab of wood, not that reddish...

    RADII: Hoarding, jigs and math

    Well, this is not a very detailed HOW TO, but it does instruct, so maybe it fits here. First, let's talk about hoarding. I'm not sure if hoarding is a recognized mental defect, but I tend to think it is. If not, it should be. I obviously suffer from the disease. Since I got my big Rikon, I...

    Plug cutters, cypress, smoke and shards

    I'm needing to cut plugs for the Adirondacks, and currently have two plug cutters. One is from a BORG, maker long forgotten, and it doesn't cut, it chews the cypress. I purchased this BORG cutter to plug screwholes in the oak flooring, and after cutting about four, decided that for a workshop...
