    Combining stock

    Here is a question from one who is inexperienced: If I have two boards that are 4/4, can I glue them together to get the 8/4 thickness that I desire or am I better off starting with an 8/4 board. Look forward to reading what you all have to say.

    Steel Shim Stock

    I have a Delta dedicated mortiser that needs a little shimming to be perfectly square in all directions. Does anyone know a source close to Fayetteville that might sell thin steel shim stock? Anything else work as well or better? Thanks for any feedback.

    Round steel stock for Oland tool

    Part of the legacy my father left me was the collecting habits of Fred Sanford, and the engineering abilities of Rube Goldberg coupled with the "making do with what's you got" inventiveness of Red Green. In several threads recently members have mentioned difficulty in finding mild steel round...

    Scratch Stock Question

    Does anyone use a scratch stock for beading? I would like to add a bead to the hall table I'm working on and need to make a scratch stock that will handle curved pieces. I'm mostly concerned with the holder. If you have one, will you post a picture of it so I can see how to make one?

    Set for turning stock for awhile

    I went home (in the mountains) today to help my father work around the yard. Ended up coming home with a 14" diameter black locust, and 2 8" dogwood trees. Tomorrow, or next weekend, I will cut them into bowl blanks and paint them up good for storage. While I was there, my mother asked me if I...

    Contractor's saw rip 8/4 stock?

    A rookie needs some guidance here. I'm building an outfeed table for my contractor's saw and need to make some 1.5" square legs. Will my Delta contractor's saw rip 8/4 birch stock?

    I'm ready to make some utility drawers for the shop, and I want the box to be 1/2" thick, more or less (that is, 7/16-9/16 works too). I'm shying away from plywood, and surely don't want to plane down stock. Yes, I can resaw 4/4 and get close enough, but I'd rather purchase material that's...

    Gun Stock Checkering

    Does anyone have any idea what tools it would take to be able to checker a gun stock? Its something that has been of interest to me. I know there was a little tool at the Charlotte show, but at 300 dollars it seemed a little out of line. Any other ideas?
