    Rash after cleaning table saw top

    Did you, by any chance, trim fig trees a day earlier? I got a very similar looking rash from the sap/roots. Took a day or two to show up.

    Compound Angles

    If I understand correctly, the 60deg cuts you show on n the first pic are an intended as a scarf feature so the joint does not gap when the wood shrinks. If that is correct, I don’t believe the scarf can be made to work at anything other than 180deg between the pieces. What Pop-pop said may be...

    Recommend Chisels

    Sorry for the long wind, in advance. I have both the Schaaf and Narex Classic chisels (NOT Richter) mentioned in some of the above posts. I had already ordered the Narex set from Lee Valley when the Schaaf set was offered at the incredible price of $19.50 for the set of four, so I had to get...

    220 volt extension cord

    I run my 3hp/220v unisaw on a 10ft extension in the winter when I move my saw to allow parking for a car. I have not had any problems. I think my cord is #12. You may need to hunt some to find the appropriate male and female ends.

    Third Type of Lights

    It generally involves rewiring the fixture such that the ballast is bypassed (removed). It is not especially difficult but is probably not for you if electricity is a nervous issue.

    Third Type of Lights

    I find my old eyes function better with the ‘daylight’ LEDs. And the more watts, the better.

    Heat treating question

    My knowledge comes mostly from the ‘Forged in Fire’ TV show and an engineering background but I believe the heat treatment (heat/quench) is absolutely necessary in order to have a hard edge. It is not necessary to treat the entire blade, just the working area.

    Wood ID please

    I’ll weigh in with my own guess: Butternut. Although the internet suggests it may not be native to my area (30 mi SE of Charlotte) so I wonder why it would be cut for firewood.

    Wood ID please

    Found this log on the roadside and think it may be good for spoons but I’d like to know what it is. The 12 inch diameter by 12 inch log weighs 40-50lbs and is quite hard. Images are QS grain, bark, and end grain. Thanks for looking.

    Calculating Location of Grooves on Cylinder

    if you have an indexing ring on your lathe, the easiest way would be to use it to make layout marks 45 degrees apart (360/8). Lacking that, the spacing can be calculated as 3.14 times diameter divided by 8. The spacing is measured on the surface of the cylinder.

    Any way to retrofit an older Delta tablesaw to riving knife?

    I bought my unisaw second hand. It had neither a splitter nor blade guard. After an ‘incident’ I bought a ARK / shark guard kit and have never regretted it. I don’t use the saw every day but do not find its manual operation to be a burden. I looked at the price recently and can only say ouch...

    Workbench leveler leg?

    Bear in mind that three points define a plane, so unless you are concerned that the bench be perfectly level, only one leg needs to be adjustable

    Remove black stains on oak

    I recently changed out my old style surface mount cabinet door hinges with concealed hinges. I would like to fill the now exposed screw holes with a color matched putty but there are black stains around some of the holes that limits how well the putty covers. (Photo) Is there a way to lessen...
