    How Tightly Should Biscuits Fit?

    I have a biscuit cutter that I bought 22 years ago and it is still as sharp and as good a cutter as new. Also, my tools are in my garage shop all year round and I have never had biscuits swell up so that they would not slip right into the cut slot. The problem discussed here seems strange to me.

    Planer will not feed boards through

    I have a Delta 22-560 that is over 20 years old and only been used a very few times over the years. It looks new and everything is OK except that it will not feed. The problem is the in-feed roller. It looks alright and is clean of resin, but it seems slick and very solid. I can't remember...

    Jane Austen’s writing desk

    I almost bought a fantastic camera package (3 lenses, case, and all the goodies for great photos, etc.) a little over a year ago when it was on sale for close-out of that model for about $350 to $400, but my wife was not happy with the idea i.e. "You'll never use it" etc. Well, I didn't get it...

    Jane Austen’s writing desk

    I have made a lot of lap desks for friends in Rev War Reenacting in the past but not as neat as this one. I like the brass post support and the reverse side set-up when opened. The catch for the section holding paper is simple but practical. Most of the simple desks did not have a closed...

    Favorite YouTube Woodworker?

    Wooden water buckets were always a puzzle to me as to how to get them together. I have learned how it's all done by watching Woodwright's Shop and this fine video of Traditional Cooper George Smithwick. I can now make the bucket parts, or take apart buckets to repair them and reassemble a now...

    19th Century Woodworking tool display and demos

    I have been enjoying woodworking for over a long period of years and have just about any power tool that one could want with all the many other tools and gadgets that that make up a woodshop (along with a large library on all things working with wood and a complete collection of the New Yankee...

    Wheelwright's Magic

    I have a lot of Woodwright's Shop videos in sets of 10 that were going cheap at Popular Woodworking's site a couple of years ago ($10). I don't think you can find them anymore, however, You Tube has a complete selection of every episode from season 1 to present that you can watch. Simply look...

    What is that? A tool he asked?

    I have been firing Flintlocks for over 40 years. Wanting to ensure a good fire when the pan ignites I have long been using a 1/8 inch bit to just drill out the touch hole a little larger on muskets. For hunting rifles a smaller bit, but larger than the touch hole, also works well. Keeping...
