Introduction
First, a bit of background: Before I bought this machine, I was using a 6” Grizzly Jointer and a Ridgid...
A post entitled "People of Walnut posted by montgotj needs to be reviewed by the moderators. I can't believe he posted something like this on a family forum. Click on the link, scroll down, and look at the pictures. Montgotj needs to be taken to the woodshed for a heart-to heart talk about what...
As most of you know I have with the help of some fellow NCWW's been making my own captured hollowing system. Well after searching far and wide I found a very good cost effective source for the swivel bit holder needed. I thought I would share since I know there are others out there into making...
I posted my review of the INCRA Table Saw Fence System earlier today. I have been getting lots of email on this fence/JET ProShop Saw combination. It's done and up at the link below!

I needed a new string trimmer and opted for the Lehr ST025DC. This is a novel trimmer since its combustion engine is powered by PROPANE. It uses the little 16 oz camping canisters available everywhere.
Lehr makes four models, all identical except they come with either a curved shaft or...
According to an article in the Sunday paper, vendors spend up to $1.6B (that's billion) annually on shills who post glowing product reviews on Amazon, and other web sites. I'm not sure how they know this, but I wouldn't doubt it. I wonder how much they spend on shills who slam competitor's...
There are lots of new features, changes, addons and more that we can do with this site software.
As near as I can tell, we don't have a forum or process in place to review these "ideas".
Would this be a task for staff, Board, Webmasters and/or monkeys throwing darts? And yes, of course...
I just posted my review of the Kreg Precision Router Table at the link below. This table is identical to the one Kreg donated to this site but that one is still in the boxes and untouched. The one in the review is mine and everybody can keep their hands off of it!
Anyway, the review has a video...
Howdy All,
I am in the planning stages of my first real project and need some help so I don't learn all the lessons the hard way! :BangHead:
I am going to build a built-in bookcase to fit in a nook in my home office. Here is a rough sketch of the design I have so far. And just in case you...
I went to the show today and thought I'd post a quick summary of what it was like...
I got to the show just before opening. Here's a shot of everyone waiting to get in:
I was at the WW Show in Atlanta last January (2007) and it seemed a lot bigger than this one. Overall I was a little...

I have a Powermatic PJ882, 8" parallelogram jointer in the shop and am in the process of writing a review on it. I thought I'd ask what the members here wanted to know about this type of machine to see if that differes from what I think is important.
Right now it has the straight knife...

Please take pity on me, I know this is a forum for wood.
They do at one point, suggest using a wooden mallet if that counts?

Howdy all.
As I now send a decent % of my paycheck to smartflix, thought I'd pass along some reviews to those who are going down the long dark road of howto video addiction!

I get asked all the time about what is the best table saw. In the past, I have been hesitant about that answer but no more. See the link below for my review of the Powermatic PM2000.
