    Used Cabinet Saws

    Just wondering... There’s a lot of chatter about making Saw Stop’s Active Injury Mitigation technology mandatory on all table saws. If this becomes reality, I’m wondering if and to what degree the existing used cabinet saw market might be affected. Will many thousands of machines like the 3hp...

    Harvey Ambassador C14 Bandsaw Review

    Harvey Industires recently added a review section to their website and politely solicited reviews from owners. In the event that this is useful to others, I share the review I submitted here (with one addendum). This is wordy, so if you want the quick verdict, the machine is a winner. Brick...

    Plain Plane Problem

    I’ll do my best to articulate the problem I’m having with a Sargent 408 No. 3 bench plane. Sorry for the long-winded explanation. I’ve used this plane infrequently with reasonable success for a few years now. Bored between projects, I decided to take a closer look at the plane’s iron (blade)...

    Dust Collection Procrastination

    OMG!! At long last, my vintage General (Canadian-made) 350 cabinet saw has effective dust collection. While the machine was in pieces for new arbor bearings and some other maintenance, I decided to finally address the machine’s abysmal original dust collection. With the foresight of an...

    Consistent Wolverine Vari-Grind Angles

    Consistent Wolverine Vari-Grind angles I’m guessing that this idea isn’t new, but here’s my take on setting consistent Vari-Grind angles on a Wolverine jig. Make a supply of right-angle stock to fit on/over the long V-arm. Once a desired grind angle is confirmed by way of the V-arm length...

    Shapton GlassStone (GS) Series HR Stone

    Just Fyi, the Shapton GlassStone (GS) Series 16,000 HR Stone is typically priced at around $140 to $160. For whatever reason Lee Valley has them priced now at $109. Oddly, or perhaps highlighting a pricing error, the same stone in 12,000 grit is more expensive. Carry on. Shapton GlassStone...

    A New Block Plane

    This essence of this will be no surprise to most of you... I own and extensively use 15 various hand planes and spoke shaves. Like most of you, I learned long ago that with rare exception, planes and their blades, new or used, require fettling, flattening, polishing and honing before they can...

    CBN Wheel Grits

    I have a pair of CBN wheels from Woodturners Wonders in transit. I ordered a 350g Mega Square and a 180g 4-in-1. 95% of their use will be turning tool sharpening. Now, with the proverbial wheels in motion, I'm having second thoughts about the 350g wheel. Should I have ordered the 600? Am I...

    Recent turnings

    I spent two days last December with Stuart Kent at the North Carolina Furniture School in Farmville. It was two days well spent and well worth the cost. I'm still working on becoming a better turner and working too to justify the cost of the new lathe (Jet 1840EVS). Some successes and some...

    Air Compressor - Facebook Marketplace

    Just FYI If you are looking for an excellent air compressor, this is a great find. I bought this exact machine last year and am very happy with it. Very quiet (compared with typical compressors). Good small shop capacity and small vertical footprint. At $165, it’s a very good value. Happy new...

    Poor Man's Hoist

    I don’t know how much a Jet 1840EVS lathe headstock weighs, but it’s clearly more than my senior body could dead lift onto the lathe bed. After considering that most of my friends are my age with varying knee and shoulder issues and some head-scratching, I came up with what I hoped was a...

    North Carolina Furniture School

    Just an FYI and a shout-out to/for Stuart Kent at The North Carolina Furniture School in Farmville, NC. I attended his 2-day Hollow Form Woodturning Level 1 Masterclass on November 21 and 22. The class was exactly what I needed to move on to hollow vessel turning. Stuart is a highly skilled...
