    Jet-JWBS-18 bandsaw-Is $1100 to much?

    I sold my Jet 16" for >$1000 a little over a year ago. That included accessories and blades (incl 1" carbide Resaw King). Maybe that helps in terms of deciding what the market says. But to echo the sentiments above, the 1.5hp was a little underpowered to resaw at the saw's capacity. I sold the...

    Repairing Wood River hose reel supply line

    My hose reel has sprung several leaks on the supply line. I'd like to replace the line, where it connects to the reel: I had hoped that I could remove the elbow, but it did not yield when I put a wrench on it. I could try harder, but I thought I'd ask for advice here, before I do...

    birch plywood ends

    That looks more like 7-ply (such as SandePly), than BB. Certainly isn't the 13-ply BB I'm used to seeing.

    Jack does not seem to be active on the site any longer - his profile says he hasn't been active in more than a month. Anyone have direct contact into for him or suggestions of other sawyers in the area?

    How to start a conversation?

    Thanks, but I don't get that button :( I haven't been on the site in a while. Maybe I've fallen out of favor, so to speak? I'm glad to know that I'm not just blind, though :)

    Is there such a thing as an extra-extra thin wall socket?

    Good idea. I'll try that!

    Is there such a thing as an extra-extra thin wall socket?

    I wasn't sure where else to post this...it IS a woodworking tool. I want to get this nut off. It is a 15/16" nut but the surrounding hole is only 1 7/32” in diameter. I bought an extra-thin-wall socket, but it is nearly 1 17/64” in diameter – making it nearly a full 1/16” too big. The wall of...

    needing a gun stock refinished

    Maybe he could...dunno. He asked me to recommend someone to do it for him. I haven't found any shop time in past 3 years due to work situation. I've occasionally helped other people do this kind of stuff. And supervise/advise on three district-winning pinewood derby cars. All of which I could do...

    needing a gun stock refinished

    I'll ask that, too. He is sending the mechanism in for new seals, IIRC. So maybe he just wants to clean it up while it is apart.

    needing a gun stock refinished

    I don't know if he's in a hurry, but I know he doesn't have a basement :) I guess I should have him bring it by and get a better look at how much work it really needs.

    needing a gun stock refinished

    A neighbor inquired about refinishing a gun stock. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to do anything in my shop for a long while, so I am unable to help him. But I said I'd see if I can find anyone who is looking for this kind of work. Here is a picture of the stock in question. If you are...

    band recommendation for cutting curves in 8" maple

    Thanks for the advice! I knew I had heard of something along these lines, but "Skip tooth" had completely eluded my recall. I've found a 4TPI skip tooth in 3/8" for my saw (123"). How do y'all check for good blade tension manually? The tension gauge on my saw always seemed questionable...and...
