    Book Review: Woodworkers Guide to Wood

    Holy cow and a half. If there was one book I'd wish I had read years ago, this is it. Of course, it wasn't written years ago, so I'm off the hook..... I have been working my way through the defnitive work by Bruce Hadley, which is a great read. Sadly, I do not have a PHD in Woodology :-/...

    Powermatic 3520B Review

    I have been getting lots of questions on this lathe for some time and finally got one in the shop. I like tools as much as the next guy (and women with the power-tool gene defect) but this one really impressed me. It's like stepping back in time and getting a machine with lots of real cast iron...

    Hegner 18VS scroll saw review

    The difference in using the Delta and the Hegner is amazingly HUGE! I stack cut 5 pieces and had virtually no variance between the top and bottom piece. You can run the saw much slower for the tricky areas than with the Delta. There really is no vibration. I was testing that by having the bottom...

    Review of a $99 Mortising Machine

    Last year I bought a mortising machine. It was a cheep one from Harbor Freight. I really didn't expect too much from it, but at $99.00 bucks I thought that it would be better than hand cutting mortises, although I will have to admit that I usually find other ways to join wood together beside...

    New Site Policy Statement for your review

    I wrote a new site policy statement while on the train yesterday. This is a draft for you review. I don't intend to make it public until it has been reviewed by this group. I suspect it needs a lot of work. I also suspect that we'll need to change it to better reflect the groups views. I do...

    Video Review: Tage Frid

    Thought I'd pass along my comments on the new Tage Frid dvd. For those of you who enjoyed his older tape on making dovetails, this is a lot of fun. It covers a lot more about Tage Frid. Shows his home, some of the furniture he has made and lots of stories of his apprenticeship in Denmark...
