    ALPHA HW110S-36P & 52P

    Getting a nice Christmas bonus this month and was seriously considering a new table saw. Harvey has this one on sale for $2299.00 plus shipping and tax probably be all in for 3k. It appears to be a really nice saw for the money. Thoughts? https://www.harveywoodworking.com/

    Will this work on a drum sander?

    Love this sandpaper, and wonder if any of it would work on a drum sander. Think maybe the backing may be to thin. Just wondering...

    5 1/2 Hand Plane for $110.00?

    I have been considering a 5-1/2 for the shooting board, and this one looks enticing. But with the price of a Wood River is $300, I am guessing the taytool plane is just a cheap Chinese knock off with their logo on it. Has some decent reviews, but when something has a price difference of 200...

    JIG IT

    Anyone have one of these? If so what is your opinion on it? I like the looks of the quadrant hinge and this makes it look easy to install. But does it functions as advertised? https://www.rockler.com/jig-it-hinge-mortising-system

    Kobalt 10 inch sliding miter saw Model #SM2507LW

    I broke the blade guard on mine, kinda scary without it. Anyone have one (saw or parts saw) they would be willing to part with. Called Kobalt customer service, no long available, checked Ebay, Marketplace, Craigslist. No luck. Wife says not to use it any more, I take that as possible permission...

    How do you cut small trim pieces?

    Made a small jewelry box, decided to line it with some sassafras. Well I did not cut the miters correctly and have small gaps in the corners. So I thought if I could cut some small triangle pieces to cover my mistakes all will be well. The only tool I feel comfortable cutting such small pieces...

    Dewalt Orbital Wobble

    My Dewalt sander has developed a "wobble" its kind of hard to explain. Is there a easy fix or just a Dewalt "thing"? It sands okay just seems more pronounced that normal.

    The 50 count sample packs Klingspor sells come in a yellow and black plastic container. I want some of those containers. Can they be bought separately? Searched the website, no luck.

    Was there a list?

    Searched for a list of woodworking shops that would allow hobbyists access to some heavy equipment. I have two 8 foot by 12 inch wide and 2 inches thick white oak I would like to have taken to 1-1/2 inches thick. Too heavy for my equipment and for me to try and handle alone. Was there a list of...

    How do you store your wood?

    Needed a couple pieces for a project and of course what I wanted was on the bottom. I have vertical racks. Would horizontal be better? It would probably take up more space. And if I had anything over 10 foot that wouldn't work. Other than easily selecting the piece I want, are there other...

    Router Plane

    In need of a router plane for a project I am currently working on. Looked at all the higher end name brands and came across one that Katz Moses offers. Looks like a very nice tool and in the same price range. Anyone familiar with it? The Lie Neilson is $255.00 (out of stock) Veritas is $199.00...

    8000 water stone good enough?

    Received a new blade and chip breaker for my hand plane. Watched some videos on preparing a new blade etc. The finest stone I have is an 8000. Is going to a finer stone necessary?

    5 1/2 Jack Plane

    I have been using my Stanley #62 on my shooting board. It works okay, but a bit cumbersome. Looking a the Wood river 5 1/2. But at almost twice the price I paid for the Stanley, I am hesitant in pulling the trigger. Anyone have experience with the Wood river on a shooting board. I know Cosman...

    How far as a general rule?

    On a "farm house style trestle leg dining table" how far is the average distance from the edge of the table to the legs? I measured from my big fat belly to the knee and got about 16 inches. Thought I would add a some and make it 18 inches from the edge of the table. So if I sat down slide my...

    Craftsman 22116 Granite Table saw

    Featherboards, on a granite top. When the slot mounted type is too close to the width I am trying to cut. Perhaps there is an option I have not thought of? I am stumped!

    Why not cut the edges off first?

    Experimenting on the lathe lately and watched a bunch of videos. Person will place a square piece on the lathe begin turning and it sounds it is beating the lathe to death. After finding center, seems to me, taking a trip to the bandsaw and cutting those edges off would make things a bit more...

    PM-45

    Okay maybe a dumb question, are the threads on both ends of the head stock the same? I can thread a faceplate on the inboard side of the headstock, but not on the outboard side. The threads appear to be reversed. I want to mount a hand wheel on it so I can had thread a large piece for turning...
