    Maple - four straight tree sections - worthwhile?

    Great advice overall - I'll probably buy a chainsaw mill and cut some 8/4 boards this Fall, so only lose about an inch of maple. No worries about metal, since the tree grew in a heavily wooded lot and the only other property owner reported they only put nails/metal in two trees on the lot (...

    Maple - four straight tree sections - worthwhile?

    Occasional woodworker here in NW Greensboro with a recently cut front-yard maple (no nails/metal known): cut faces in photos. Trunk measures 12-13" diameter, 22 feet long, already cut into 4 sections 4-6 fleet long (approx. 200 board feet, perhaps 140 usable board feet??) Is this worth having...

    After testing in the upper stratosphere recently, the Finnish Woodsat will test the effects of space on birch plywood (coated with aluminum oxide) I'm not making this up!

    Covid - Vaccines - Workshops

    DrBob: Sorry, but even a cursory evaluation of the medical literature completely debunks this. UCSF, the New England journal, World Health Organization and the CDC all provide many reliable studies showing the CLEAR benefits of (valveless) masks in preventing community spread of respiratory...

    Electrical options of r setting up a new shop

    As dedicated BEV driver for a decade (battery electric vehicle, NO gas ever and now on my second Nissan LEAF) I'd recommend adding wiring for at least one 220V 40-50 amp Level-2 EV charger if you will have a car parked in/near the garage - if panel is full you most likely would only charge at...

    Table Saw Journey

    As a pediatrician, the only saw I'd have is a SawStop - extra cost is covered by the copay for even a few sutures (and losing a finger can cost a job…) SawStop is very good quality too - no regrets with my 1.75hp contractor (nor the 3hp Cabinet version at the Forge)
