    Edited down to one entry! I also realized one of the pictures in my original post was over 36 months old. 1. Stack of blocks on the front of a toy box, walnut with yellow heart, bloodwood and maple cubes

    What is this worth?

    I am helping the Bull City Woodshop (The Bull City Woodshop | Durham) with selling some of their surplus tools. I just came across this hand held Porter Cable spindle sander. It is a model 121 and looks almost new. A quick Google search shows none for sale anywhere and it looks like they...

    Router Jig Locator

    This is probably one of those things where everyone has been doing this and I just thought of it, but... I use a lot of router jigs because I am not very good at freehand work. Clamping them to the bench can be a pain so I have started adding a couple of 3/4 dowels to the bottom that line up...

    Drum Sander

    I'm thinking of buying a drum sander during the black Friday sales. The Jet 16-32 is on sale as are a few other brands. Any feedback specifically on the Jet or recommendations for other brands? The Grizzly is a great price too.

    Mineral Oil

    I hope this doesn't morph into another discussion on how to finish cutting boards, but I have a very simple question: Where is the best place to buy mineral oil by the gallon? I bought a gallon on-line and the resulting mess in the truck did not endear me to my UPS driver!

    sanding cutting boards

    Similarly, I sand to 220. wash the board and then sand to 400. I have a mineral oil bath that soak the board in for 20 minutes (you can also just wipe on mineral oil with a cloth) and then a final coat of beeswax diluted in mineral oil. lots of polishing with a rag. I've never tried a scraper!

    Harvey Bandsaw Prices

    I have a Harvey that I bought around Thanksgiving when they ran a good "only selling 3 at this price" sale. It wasn't really Black Friday but pretty close. Their pricing is weird so set your price point and continue to watch the emails!

    elliptical shape on 1x4

    I sort of used this method to make an oval table and an ellipse for a hall mirror. The problem with the router jig is that you need a larger base for the cut so I cut templates from MDF and used 2 sided tape and the router to cut the shape. the picture shows one but have some that are more...

    What is a good brand random sander

    a related question... I had a Bosch and wore it out, then got a Porter-Cable palm sander that I have been happy with. But I have arthritis in my hands and the vibration really limits the time I can spend. I also work with a lot of smaller pieces so the palm sanded is nice for that. Do the...
