    Log ID help

    Anyone know that this is? The grain is tight and stringy, but it's not very dense or heavy. Just a bit heavier than poplar. Sorry, no foliage. This was a blow-down log that's been down a couple of years. TIA

    Fire extinguisher in shop w/o climate control

    It's wood frame. The walls are insulated with fiberglass & sheathed inside with 7/16" OSB, but there's no insulation under the roof.

    Fire extinguisher in shop w/o climate control

    We were looking into putting a fire extinguisher out in the shop but there's no A/C and it will just bake in the sun all summer. We have no idea how hot it will get inside and all of the models we have looked at say not to store àbove 120° F. Any advice or experience in this realm would be...

    Vintage Tools

    It looks like the powerhead from a radial arm saw. I have no idea what model. Not familiar enough.

    Gluing to oil stained wood?

    Has anyone had any success gluing raw wood to another piece that has already been stained with oil based stain? If so, what process and/or products did you use?

    Reading all available info on miter saws

    I have had the 12" Bosch axial glide for around 10 years and am still very pleased. It is possible to deflect the arm and cause inaccurate cuts, but if you have it set properly, and if you use a gentle hand and let the "tool do the work," it is very accurate.

    Dorm sized desk

    Sweet! I really like the nesting option. My college desk was a piece of A/C plywood on two two-drawer metal file cabinets.

    Cement Floor Treatment

    Standing on concrete is murder on your joints and back. I did the epoxy thing when I had a garage shop, and it's a lot of prep, and does nothing to cushion for your knees and back. In my next shop I had a bunch of the mats made up of 2'x2' squares made more for playrooms. The rubber isn't very...

    Router Rabbet bit recommendation (is it rabbit or rabbet?)

    In British English a rabbet is a "rebate." Without doing any research I would think that is stems from the idea of reducing or cutting back from the whole of whatever the thing is, whether a sum or a block of wood. Rebate plane Archives - Paul Sellers' Blog Sorry I don't have a bit...

    Which grease for gears and trunnions?

    I am tearing down my 18" Jet bandsaw to move it, and it seems like a good time to clean and lube. The trunnions aren't that dirty, but the table has always been a bit "noisy" to tilt and when I removed it I was surprised by how little lube there was. The more I search the more confusing it...

    Advice sought: Precautions with no shop HVAC

    We're finally moved into the mobile home (for the most part) and the house is under contract. We're currently culling and moving the shop into a shed with no HVAC. I am not comfortable leaving a space heater running when I am not out there. I insulated the walls, mostly for noise reduction, and...

    Yet another wood identification question

    Looks like cedar to me. Usually the smell is a dead giveaway.

    Learned a new trick today

    I always wash out new roller covers. Same idea. The tape is easier. Washing is more thorough but eats more time.

    Plexi and Wood

    Generally, I try to avoid relying on glue to hold glass or plexi. Sounds like you cut a rabbet for the plexi to lay in from underneath? My preference would be to cut an actual groove (a channel with wood left on both sides) to hold the glass mechanically. Others will probably have better...
