    any experience with Barr tools?

    Just got through looking at Curtis Buchanan's videos on his website of how he makes his chairs. I've not ever made a chair and the only time I've gotten anywhere close to that level of tools was meeting Roy Underhill in Atlanta 2 or 3 years ago and trying his pole lathe. But I am interested in...

    Bad 1st experience at wood store

    I want to build some outdoor furniture for my wife. I recently went to a hardwood store to find some cypress or cedar and was stunned at the cost. Granted I am new to wood working and this was my first venture into the world of specialty wood stores. I, until now, have bought all my wood at...

    first spokeshave experience

    I'm working on a prototype for a coffee table that has curved legs. The legs were roughed out on the bandsaw and finished on the router table. I'm about ready for final assembly and have been trying to avoid the use of sandpaper. I did use my spindle sander on the template, though. Anyway, I've...

    Raleigh Saw Experience?

    I was wondering if anyone has experience with Raleigh Saw. I have several 10" blades that need to be sharpened, and was hoping to keep things fairly close to home. I go back and forth through Raleigh not infrequently, so it would not be a big problem to stop by there. I have two Forrest WW II's...

    Hey folks, Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, w/ the DIY type epoxy garage floor coating systems? I'm "re-organizing" my garage workshop to provide more storage/ efficiency, which will include re-building my main workbench. Since the bench is pretty much the only thing that is...

    Any one have experience with wood countertops??

    My wife and I are considering redoing our kitchen and are in the process of design / material selection. Although I have not seen too many homes with wood countertops the few I have seen were beautiful. Does anyone here have wood countertops? If so can you comment on the maintenance...

    experience with air drying pecan?

    Does anyone have experience air drying pecan? I have about 350 bf of 1 x from 6-18" by 8 feet. We sawed it last week and it is now stacked (with stickers) in a shed. Should we have it kiln dried? Does it check and warp a lot. Any advice would be helpful.

    Looking for experience with Garage Floor Epoxy Coatings

    I will soon be using EpoxyShield on a new garage floor. I am wondering what others have done about expansion joints when laying this down. I have two types of what I am calling Expansion joints to deal with: 1. I have that edge joint that looks like a piece of wood that will eventually...

    Anyone have experience with Delta 28-350 BS?

    I have a lead on a Rockwell-Delta 28-350 20" bandsaw. Wanted to ask if anyone has one, has had their hands on one or knows about them. The man is asking $600 for it. Says it's in ex condition, but I have not gone to look yet. I've been pining over a band saw for a while now and just last...

    A positive online ordering experience

    Too often I tend to be quite generous with my complaints of companies and their service or lack there of but not so generous with expressing gratitude to those deserving. I would like to offer my gratitude to a company I recently ordered from and that is Wood N Whimsies. One of my biggest...

    Harbor Freight Industrial Shaper - Any experience?

    I recieved a mail flyer that listed the 1 HP industrial shaper for $289 on sale from $329. What caught my eye is that this shaper can also use 1/4" and 1/2" router bits. It also has a (quiet) Induction motor and a cast iron top. A bench dog top alone would cost more than this shaper with a...

    Trashing my work...a humbling experience

    Our master bath has a tight little area next to the throne that we have had problems finding a trash can for. Either they are too wide, or too small to be effective. Heck I can make one, how hard can it be. I recalled the trash can that Gofor made. I really liked the look and style. So I set...

    Another new experience!

    I've been wanting to take a shot at carving for some time now. I bought a #5 Flexcut gouge for the spoon contest (wrong tool for that:-?) and made a carving knife. Well here's what I came up with. Nothing special, but it was fun trying something new!

    Biscuit Joiner Experience

    I am getting into making clocks with an octagonal face frame and it occurs to me that a biscuit joiner might be the way to go for the frame. I know absolutely nothing about biscuit joiners and am trying to learn. Anyone care to share their experience/opinion? Thanks. Stan Messick
