    How to cut this crotch

    For maximum figure expression and ease of turning?? If it makes any difference my lathe swing is only 9". And is this even worth turning into a bowl. It's Silver Maple from a client's front yard. Thanks for any advice that can be offered. Dave:-)

    Rough cut lumber

    I need some rough cut lumber. Not much, and nothing fancy, I just need to build a couple rough tables that will sit outside. I'm wondering about a mill maybe or similar near Knightdale, preferably?

    Is it OK to cut particle board with laminate on my table saw?

    Hi, I have a scrap piece of countertop that I got years ago at Home Depot. It appears to be 1" particle board (not MDF) with laminate on both top and bottom. I wanted to trim 2 sides of it. I'm assuming this will not be great for my table saw blade. Will it ruin it pretty quickly, or is it OK...

    Best way to make this cut?

    I need to cut a 1/2" x 1/4" rabbet on all four edges of a piece of 3/4" curly maple. The result will be a 1/4" x 1/4" tongue. My biggest concern is chip out, curly maple is bad about that. My choices are: rabbeting set for the RT with changeable bearings (smallest cut 3/16"), new 1/2" straight...

    FIL's cross cut sled kit

    My FIL just got a new Griz cabinet saw. He has been coveting my sled for a while so the LOML suggests that I make him one.
