    Stickley chair gloat

    I found this the other day for $150. It is a L & JG Stickley rocker circa 1912-1920. Unfortunately it has been refinished, I am however still so happy to have a piece of Stickley Arts&Crafts / Mission style furniture on my poor man's budget. This is the type of furniture that inspired me to...

    Today's CL "deal of the day"

    http://winstonsalem.craigslist.org/tls/1668257947.html This is either posted too early, a few days before 4/1/10 (April Fools Day) or there should be a decimal point after the 1st number in the price. My $0.02 I at least got a chuckle out of it.

    Does anyone have any Parks 12" planer parts?

    I know this is probably more of a OWWM ??? But, I would rather source something out locally first. I am in the process of restoring a Parks/Craftsman 12" planer and noticed that one of my parts should be replaced. Now I can probably get it to work as is, but if I am going through all the...

    I have a serious debate on my hands. I have two great bandsaws sitting in my garage. Both need only minor mechanical repair, a few bearings replaced in the guides. Both need cosmetic repair. However I can't keep both and I am torn as to which one to keep. The two band saws are: 1968...

    Picked up an old piece of arn tonight

    I just wanted to gloat for a second about picking up a great old piece of arn. I got a Craftsman/Parks 12" planer tonight from a really nice gentleman up the road a few miles from me. He helped me get the darn thing in my van, but now I haven't a clue how to get it out and down about 7 steps...

    Newbie in North Durham

    I am just getting started in woodworking after many frustrating years of desire and few tools. I have realized the tools come slowly for me, as extra money comes slowly for me. After assembling a few tools and moving to a new place with a basement shop, I have started making some simple pieces...

    Looking for someone that has a spraybooth in Durham area

    I am new to the NCWW forum but thought you would be a good group to ask. Let me preface this with "I hope this is an allowable question." A co-worker of mine, just brought back a headboard that her father built for her. It is primed, but not 'finished'. Since I don't have any spray...
