I have now collected 8-9 old hand saws (panel saws). I am documenting my process of restoring them and was curious about everyone else's advice for resharpening. Basically, I want to compare with my notes. What type of file do you use ? How do you get angles correct, keep track of the filed...
Hello all,
Just recently joined NCWW. I do plenty of carpentry work in my off time when I can, but I want to get into the finer areas of woodworking. I figured the best place to ask questions would be the place with largest amount of woodworking knowledge available to me. So here I am haha...
So I'm in the market for a new planer after my old delta model from Lowes has pooped out. It was never quite right, the boards would come out slightly thicker on one side, and snipe was a big issue. So I'm kinda happy to be looking for another.
I'm looking at the dewalt 735 with the in and...
What saw blade do you use when cutting Black Walnut, Sapele, and Jabota (Brazilian Cherry)? Please provide brand/kerf/number of teeth. As ya'll know that stuff is hard and eats blades. I'm cutting 2 inch material with my table saw. Don't have a bandsaw yet. Thanks for any advice provided...
I recently got a GeekDesk base; it's a desk base that raises from a sitting desk to a standing desk. I now need to build a desktop for it, and could use some advice. I'm looking to build a desktop maybe 5'x3', with a raised monitor shelf running along the back.
First, what material should I...
I am thinking about doing some craft projects which would combine scroll sawing with relief carving. One problem: I know absolutely nothing about relief carving or carving in general. Can someone recommend an elementary book on relief carving? Thanks.
So I'm wanting to start something that's probably pretty simple... but I have just recently acquired a lathe and have some questions...
Here is something similar to what I'm wanting to do...

Hey all,
I'm planning on spending my winter break re-organizing the un-finished section of my basement to set it up for woodworking projects. But the catch is that I'm currently a high school junior and will (hopefully) be going to college in 2013, and my parents will probably be moving and...
Okay, a couple of weeks ago I ask for advice on repairing a mistake I made when I rubbed through a lacquer finish on the edge of a project. It turned out that I was able to apply 3 more coats of lacquer and (carefully this time) rub out the piece again. The final finish ended up mirror slick...
I'd like some advice on the construction details for a mirror frame I'm making. The frame is a basic stile and rail frame, containing a recessed mirror.
The mirror is 30" x 36" x 3/16" so I was going to make the frame using 3/4" walnut with inside dimensions of 29.5" x 35.5", allowing for a...
I have a glue dispenser that I really like. Unfortunately it has some dried up glue in it and it is not easy to get to the dried up residue. I have been soaking it in hot water and that has broken up a lot of the dried gunk. (Titebond II).
Does anyone have any tricks or solvents that I should...

Hi Folks, my HP printer took a fit and had three paper jams in a row. Now there is something mis-aligned somewhere and it blends some of the lines of a letter together and blurs photos across the middle. It also makes the edges wavy. I am told that it would most likely cost more to repair than...
I snapped the band on my 17" Grizzly bandsaw recently and need to replace it. I use this saw for everything but resawing, and the band that I snapped was 1/4" deep, around .028 thick, and 10 tpi. I really like the general purpose nature of this band.
The Grizzly band worked well, but before...

Hi Guys,
I'm getting tired of leaving swirl marks from my 21 X 3 belt sander. Therefore, I'm now in the market for a drum sander. The Jet oscillating 22" drum sander seems like a good choice. While I'd love to have a monster 5 HP Powermatic wide belt sander, I have to be practical. All...
