    Homemade cross-dowels (aka barrel nuts)

    As part of a repair/refurb on my workbench, I made up two cross-dowels for use in homemade vice assemblies. The barrel nuts are made up of a piece of 1" ID plain black pipe and a 5/8" acme-threaded nut. I followed this process: - cut a slot in the pipe (for the nut) using a metal-cuttting...

    Box Buttons drive me nuts.....

    Don't know if anyone finds this annoying, but I do. This button in all the vBadvanced boxes doesn't really tell me anything. If I didn't know better, I'd probably not know that those boxes can be opened or closed. I might be alone in this irritation.... pet peeves can be that way...

    Turning Tagua Nuts

    You've probably seen it ... turning Tagua Nuts that look like white ivory inside. They aren't very big, but pretty neat little trinkets you can make with them. Conversation pieces, I suppose.:gar-La; I've seen them for sale in a couple magazines and on ebay ... but not sure if the price is...

    Harpsichord Project Part 15B - Pinblock & "Nuts" con't.

    Hi all, This post is the continuation of Part 15A. The next step is critically important to the proper functioning of the instrument. We must accurately mark the positions of the two nuts on the pinblock as well as the position of the 102 tuning pin holes. To do this, we cut out the pinblock...

    Harpsichord Project Part 15A - Pinblock & "Nuts"

    Hi all and Happy New Year, All of the major assemblies (except for the lid) have now been built. Now we have to return to many of these assemblies to make them functional. We’ll start with the pinblock which is the 1 ½” thick plank of red oak that the tuning pins will be embedded into. We...

    Small Acorns for Christmas

    These were simple and quick to turn. Using the natural bark as the cap adds a nice touch or you can scrawl a mesh into the cap to look like the real ones. I suppose you could go pick your own off the tree, but these don't have little worms in them.

    going nuts

    I had a pocket full of hickory nuts last week and one of my students decided to see what he could turn from them. This is what he came up with. Jack This first picture is a Hollow Form. This is a bunch of mushrooms he turned.

    going nuts with jointer problems

    I was really looking forward to making a lot of progress yesterday. I finally completed two things in my shop I had been meaning to do for a long time. I attached a dust collector to my jointer and made a permanent work station for my miter saw. Things did not go well at all. I had rough...

    Saw nuts

    Looking for a source where I can purchase a couple of screw / nuts so I can fasten a blade to a handle. Short long story, my Japanese flush cut saw bit the dust, ie the handle broke off which I realized would happen at some point in time. So I made a handle patterned after my Adria dovetail...

    Nuts, Bolts, HDPE, and T-Track

    Most jigs require one or the other of all the above. Agri-Supply in Garner carries nuts, bolts, washers, locking nuts, carriage bolts, BY THE POUND. This sure beats the heck out of going to local hardware/Borg and paying a buck for one bolt when you can buy them by the pound. They also carry a...
