    Festool Domino XL Sneak Peak

    Unfortunately there is no special pricing in this case; however, the first release of new Festool products tends to be a limited run and so, for those who may be seriously interested in ordering, it would be a good idea to "pre-order".

    Can you help me ID this hand plane?

    I was thinking that plane looked familiar, so I went and checked our consignment used planes. Sure enough, we have a smoother with the same exact stamped frog. It has no marking on the body whatsoever, but the iron has "Crusader" stamped in it. Hope that helps. Scott Edit: Looking closer, I...

    Golden Ratio & Design Elements

    George Walker took issue with the use of the golden ratio for furniture design on his Design Matters blog. I thought it was an interesting perspective. http://georgewalkerdesign.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/golden-rectangle-a-different-viewpoint/ Scott

    What's my problem? 10"CMS bogging down on 5/4 Cherry.....

    Looking for Track Saw input

    I personally have the TS55 and haven't had a single issue with it. Easily one of the best tool purchases I've made. But, it did have one drawback: I'm now addicted to Festool Green! FWIW, I bought mine years before I started working here at Asheville Hardware and helping to sell them. It's...

    wood drying

    I would definitely defer to Scott Smith's advice. He has been doing this a whole lot longer than I have. I'm glad he corrected me! Now I'm going to go read up on this so I can stop spreading erroneous information. :icon_thum Scott

    wood drying

    I've always heard one year per inch of thickness. I believe you can decrease this time somewhat by stickering it after it's milled, covering with a tarp, and placing fans to blow air through it. Not sure how much that would cut it down though. Scott
