    Pair of panel gauges

    Beautiful! I made a panel gauge several years ago that I was pretty proud of, until now. Nice work.

    When did Jet stop making jointers that were blue?

    I bought my blue Jet jointer (new) in 1995.

    How often do you drain your Air-Compressor?

    I bought one of those kits for a verticle tank compressor. Just before the tank reached capacity the drain valve blew open and stayed open. I may have had a defective unit. At the time I chalked it up to expecting too much from a $10.00 piece of equipment and removed it.

    Tops for shop cabinets ??

    Dean, The polyurethane finish does an adequate job at keeping the surface from distorting do to spills (water, oils, finishes). It has stained a little over time but not bad. I put solid tops on the cabinets below and leveled them before mounting them in place. I scribed the back edges then...

    Tops for shop cabinets ??

    I used MDF. I rounded the corners and chamfered the edges. I finished it with polyurethane and wax it about twice a year. It has held up well 3 years on. Although it doesn't look as good as Bill's (and I'm sure nowhere near as good as the Mahogany Phil is offering), it is cheap and has...

    Handling or Adjusting for Run Out

    You've not included much information on the nature of the problem. Have you measured runout at the spindle? If so, I'm not sure the lathe is worth the effort to fix it. Have you attempted to line up the center point of the spur center and the live center to see if they line up? If they don't...

    flip up workstation plan?

    I built a flip top stand some time ago. The link to my thread is located here. http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f81/flip-top-stand-16264/ At the bottom of the page Bas posted a link to the stand that I took my inspiration from.

    hollow mortise chisel

    I have a dedicated floor model mortiser. I love it. It doesn't get used often but when it does I am grateful I have it. I have used an attachment for the drill press. I hated it. I still feel guilty about giving it away. To think I allowed someone else to suffer as I had. I would rough...

    Pocket hole screws & joint creep

    An old trick I read somewhere suggested putting some grains of sand in a glue joint to keep it from shifting. I have tried it, it works. Another possibility is to use a spline. A slot cutter and router table should allow you to do it while concealing the spline. Biscuits are another...

    Flattening Glued Up Panels

    Use a card scraper. Work the high spot down and feather out from there so as not to create a noticeable depression in the panel. A card scraper is cheap and can even be made from an old handsaw blade (Please not an antique!). Good luck.

    Would I ever love to have this in my shop!

    While I agree that it is beautiful. I can't figure out for the life of me how the tail vise works. I don't see any dog holes in it nor on the bench itself. I did see a planing stop near the opposite end of the bench but that can be used without the tail vise. I also took a look at the...

    What wax for hand planes?

    None would be my answer. In my opinion the potential finishing problems that could be caused by wax outweigh the benefits. I have used mineral spirits to keep the the sole of a plane clean and slick when planing SYP and it works well. Overseas I have seen craftsman use kerosene for green...

    Incredible !!

    I have been turning for over 10 years. I have not come close to mastering a skew. All I can do well with it is cut pommels and v notches. Mine is a premium brand in HSS that I use on a modern 2hp EVS 220v lathe! That guy makes me ashamed of myself.
