    Rikon 70 - 100 Mini Lathe

    I have been using the "Rikon" mini lathe for the last 12-14 years and have noticed over the last 2 years that the ram in the tail stock is getting tougher and tougher to turn. (Sometimes taking two hands on the wheel to snug up the live center to the work piece.) Today I removed the handwheel...

    DW735 Planer DC Upgrade

    After completing the replacement of a broken exhaust fan and the entire dust shroud, Dewalt DW735 Issue I decided that there must be alternative ways to direct the DC hose in order to not interfere with the outfeed table. I found this YouTuber with an option to redirect without a 90 bend...

    Conveyer Cleaning

    For those of you have drum sanders; what do you use to clean the conveyer belt? My "Supermax" 19-38 could use a good cleaning. I have just been giving it a good blast of air from the compressor, but there is still stuff that looks like it needs more. (I don't want to get too aggressive and...

    Dewalt DW735 Issue

    I have had the DW735 for about 16 years. No issues other than a drive belt replacement. I have been busy milling up some stock for my latest project and noticed that the thickness adjustment crank is getting really difficult to turn. I took off the cover, cleaned out sawdust that didn't make it...

    Wood Dye Recommendations

    I have turned a number of Christmas ornaments using pine, maple and cypress scraps. LOML would like to see them in various colors. "TransTint" is one brand I have used in the past, but at $23 a bottle; it gets expensive if she wants variety of different colors....no,I prefer not to paint...

    Picture Framing

    Somewhat woodworking related.... I have built many picture frames since retiring in 2005! As a rule, I would be building frames sized to accommodate standard print sizes (5x7, 8x10 etc.) And off the shelf mat boards. I have a picture frame project coming up where the off the shelf pre cut mat...

    Plywood and Drum Sander

    Off the wall question. I am in need of some thin (1/8" oak plywood) for a small project. I have plenty of 1/4" ply and was wondering if I can run it through my drum sander to drawn down the thickness? Parts are about 12" square and only need one face veneered in oak. (I have the Supermax 16-32...

    Bending Plywood

    I am working on a small box (for a Grandson) 14" x 25" x 12" high. Wanting to loosely resemble a treasure chest. I was thinking of a curved lid but failed miserably using angle rip cuts on plywood slats (aka coopering) to result in the curve I was looking for! I prefer to have the lid around...

    Woodpeckers Tools Customer Service

    Around eight years ago, I purchased the Kreg PRS3000 router lift and PRS1045 router table. I found out that the Kreg PRS3000 lift is actually a rebrand of Woodpeckers PRL_V2. Awhile ago, I noticed that the fine adjust height adjust thumb wheel had gotten extremely difficult to turn. I decided to...

    Haven't been very good at organizing hardware (ie screws, nuts, bolts,washers etc.) Usually placed small boxes/packages of hardware into a shoe box and placed them in a cabinet. Then I went on the hunt for the right item, rifling through the boxes! I saw this idea on Youtube , so jumped into...

    Fein Dust Extraction

    My Fein Turbo II dust extraction/vac purchased 12 years ago died on me yesterday! Ordered a new Turbo II today. The first thing I noticed was that the new unit uses bags to collect the dust and debris. (My old one had a drop in filter and all of the debris dropped into the cannister. No throw...

    Stuck Hole Saw

    This afternoon I had to drill 4 - 2 1/2" holes into some 3/4" plywood. I grabbed a Lennox 2 1/2" hole saw and arbor. Successfully drilled the holes on my drill press and when finished, I tried removing the hole saw from its arbor and it was like it was welded to the arbor. I tried vice grips...
