    Which scroll saw?

    Sold my 18 year old DeWalt 788 about 6 months ago, then moved back from overseas, and am pondering getting a new scroll saw. The Woodcraft sale on the King 21 with stand got me looking at the new models and best options. So, I am open to ideas, but I am leaning towards the models: Pegas 21...

    Croquet Mallets

    My family likes croquet, but doesn't think much of the $100 set we have. We have the perfect yard for it too. I see that professional sets with higher weight mallets, tournament balls, and heavy duty coated wickets, can cost anywhere from $300 to $4000. One rosewood mallet can run $300...

    Orientation of contractor saw on a mobile cabinet

    I moved again overseas, from Japan to Belgium, from a military base with a woodshop to one without. So, I had to purchase a table saw that could be shipped through the mail. The local items were either to cheap or to expensive. I got a nice DeWalt 7480 contractor saw from Grizzly, shipped for...

    Best source for stainless steel bottle stoppers?

    Seems like all of the suppliers have slightly different models. Think I prefer the stainless steel stoppers and the type with the o-rings that fit into grooves rather than the silicone sleeve, but the prices seem to vary widely amongst the suppliers. I have buying them direct from Ruth Niles...

    In the continuing search for a router table, pre-made or plans to build one, I discovered these tables being sold in Canada. Anyone have any experience on these tables or thoughts on the value? I know I could make a better table, but time is precious, and after gathering all of the materials...

    I am needing a grinder to sharpen turning tools, almost solely bowl and spindle gouges. The Woodcraft slow speed grinder has been popular, but I can't seem to find it listed on their website and I don't need a Tormek. Any ideas where to look?

    Folks, I saw that a member posted the link to the woodsuppliers and map (http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/content.php?r=76-Wood-Suppliers). I used to look at this list quite a bit, but the routing to the link is not clearly posted on the website now, or at least I didn't see it in any obvious...

    Mixing shellac

    For some reason I have trouble making a 2 lb cut mixture of shellac. The many directions say a 2lb cut is 2lbs of shellac flakes in a gallon of alcohol. So, I don't need nearly a gallon so I reduce down the recipe to 4 ounces of shellac in 16 fluid ounces of alcohol and the dewaxed flakes...

    Knife sharpening by mail

    Years ago I bought a good set of Wusthof knives for the kitchen. They are still fairly sharp, but I notice the paring knife and the next longer one, which get used all of the time, are not as sharp as they used to be. They were razor sharp when first purchased. I looked for a sharpening place...

    Benchtop Router table with Triton router

    Many of you offered great advice on router tables, router models, inserts and fences. Thank-you for all of that wonderful advice. I found your advice very helpful and current. Much of the advice available online in articles and forums was dated. So, here is what I built. 18" deep and 26"...

    My workshop in Japan

    A couple of months ago I got some very good advice on building a router table. Many suggested that I would want to build a full size table and would regret it later if I didn't, so I thought I would post a picture of my little workshop, a shed, 8'x10', equipped with 15" bandsaw, drill press...
