    Dust Deputy Cyclone (Oneida)

    A Dust Deputy is designed to be used with a 2 1/2" hose. It doesn't make any difference what kind of vacuum you have, a 2 1/2" hose is not big enough to handle all of the shavings coming off a planer; the shavings will clog right in the hose. The Dust Deputy will work with any small tool that...

    "best" brush for shellac?

    In my opinion, high quality natural fiber brushes, like white china, are better for shellac. Synthetic fiber brushes intended for lacquers and water base finishes, such as Taklon, are good general purpose brushes and are easier to clean, but not quite as good as a good natural brush for shellac.

    Bosch Router (Good Deal?)

    I bought one from Amazon almost exactly one year ago for $201.49, so the price has come down a bit. I've been real pleased with mine but I wish the fixed base had a D handle; just my preference and I've gotten use to it. Also, it's my hand held router; I've never used it under a table; my old...

    Lathe Drum Sander? Can it be done? & Jigs

    To get a really uniform thickness you need a uniform feed rate under the drum. I would think feeding it by hand might result in a wavy surface that would be noticeable on larger flat surfaces. Just a guess, I've never tried it. ShopNotes issue 86 has detailed plans for building one for what they...

    There's a lot to know about wood bending. There are different materials, techniques and tricks to use depending on what you are trying to accomplish; more than what can be put in a forum post. I suggest reading a book or buying a video like Marc Adams "Wood Bending"...
