    Broken 'Contact us' link on Home Page

    I need assistance. I tried to use the subject link, but an error message appears. I tried Chrome and Edge with identical errors. Please help me learn how to request that my UserID be enabled once again to author posts in the "For Sale' forum. At one time I had this capability, but not now...

    Porter-Cable Omnijig 7116 24" Dovetail Machine - $279

    This jig is in top condition and with a little TLC could be as new. P-C dropped this line years ago - it's likely because it was expensive to make, and thereby costly when compared with other brands. Many experienced WWers are familiar with the Leigh Dovetail jig. There isn't any comparison...

    Shelix Head - Caveat Emptor

    Long story - I will try to be brief. I have a Steel City thickness planer bought 10 years back, with a carbide cutterhead. It's similar but not identical to the Shelix head. The main difference is that instead of spiral cutter placements they are inline and parallel to the bed. All works...

    Classified Challenges

    Had a devil of a time trying to find how to create a post in the Classifieds for an item I am selling. Finally solved the riddle, and created a post, complete with a pic. When it was published neither the picture nor the price came through. Now I cannot find where the edit capability is to...

    Refinish Danish Teak Table Top

    I hope someone might offer a suggestion for refinishing a badly stained teak table top that is Danish Modern. This means basically that it is teak veneered and is a light brown color. The stains very likely go well down below the veneer so sanding them out is not possible. I doubt that a...

    First Wood Bending Project

    I started this little Kalimba about two years back as a graduation present for my daughter, who got her degree from UNC. She has tremendous musical gifts, and I thought this might be a welcome memento of her accomplishment. I was inspired by a YouTube video on making a ukulele, and felt that I...

    Need Green Stock for Steam Bending

    I am trying to source green stock that is suitable to steam bend. I will use it to form the sides of a Kalimba, in a guitar body pattern. Ideally, it would be something with figure, and attractive, as well as fairly easy to work with. Does anyone know of a source where I might find such a...

    How do you remove the dog from a vise?

    I have a Columbian vise similar to the one in the pic. I wish to remove the dog for a restoration project. I cannot determine a way to do so. The lifting tang is the problem, as it does not appear to be screwed in, and if it is pressed in I cannot tell. Anyone have a good thought on how to...

    Need Deck Chair Hardware

    In the process of power-washing my deck furniture today I discovered that one of our chairs has lost several key pieces of hardware. These chairs are teak, I think they were originally made in India? The hardware is brass, and consists of barrel bolts, allen head nuts, and stops. Does anyone...

    Would I ever love to have this in my shop!

    Sadly, it not only won't physically fit, it won't fit in the budget either. Talk about a one-of-a-kind treasure though! Things as beautiful as this simply do not happen along all that often ...

    What a dolt am I!

    Changed the blade on my bandsaw y'day to do a little curve work. Found it hard to use and that it was burning a lot. Strange, methought, is the blade dull? Checked it and it wasn't dull. Threw another board at it and same result. What is going on here? You guessed it - put it on upside...

    I have dreamed about working in chestnut for some time. Found this site: http://www.appalachianwoods.com/lumber/current_lumber_items.htm today while cruising on the Inet. The yard is up in VA, a bit of a hike from the Triangle. Take a gander at the last item - Number 22. If there is enough...
