    precision boring jig and some flute/whistle making info

    Make sure and read this post as it calls into question the whole idea of using the bushing. The bushing did and will work, but I am liking the other way... EDIT - barring an unforeseen problem with the jig, I think I completed it. I added a couple of posts for fixes for the compressed air and...

    Wood boring insects

    I rescued several old doors (100+ years old?) from a farm house that has been abandoned for over 50 years. I want to use them to add an antique flair to my house, but they definitely have holes from some kind of small wood boring beetle. I have read that the best way to treat the problem is to...

    JET Line Boring head for Mortise Machines

    What are your thoughts on this device? Looks like it could be an item worth considering, especially considering it's current bid price. don't think I could justify it at the original list, something over $500, but at less than $150 it seems worth a look.

    My boring gloat

    This is a Bell Systems 2101 "Yankee" bit brace. I know this is the South and its hard to get excited about anything named "Yankee", but this has been described as the best bit brace ever made. View image in gallery This one was made after Stanley bought North Brothers, but it reads by...

    My boring sharpening station

    Pun not intended - it is a combination drilling / mortising / sharpening station. Seem like a strange combination? Read on... Firstly, I've needed to get my drill press and mortiser mounted somewhere for a while. Shuffling them around on various benchtops was getting tiresome (I have a small...

    9/16 brill bit for boring blanks

    I needed a 9/16 and a 25/32 bit to bore out some blanks and since I was close to the blue BORG I thought I wiould stop by and pick one up - They had the 25/32 in a twist bit (go figure) and they had every other common size bit in the twist except the 9/16 :BangHead: So I seen a 9/16 paddle bit...

    Lathe boring jig updated

    LOML wanted some wooden curtain rods for our front windows. Problem is, they only came 8' long & the window was 9' + to outside of casing. So I needed to splice 2 rods together to make the length. I'm using a splined rod, so it has to align fairly straight. Here's how I built a jig to line...

    A "boring" post about a hole in one

    A hole in one blank, that is. I bored a 3/8" hole through a blank over 1' long. I came in from both ends and there is no perceptible lip where the holes meet! But it seems like I am using too many steps, so I thought I would post and get some feedback. I got a hollow center with a removable...

    Homemade Boring Bars

    As you'll remember I recently visited Scott Smith where HE and Rob and I welded up my captured hollowing system. Well Fri. night I finally was able to get some time to make my 3/4" boring bars(my 1/2" bars are a mix of homemade and Kelton tools.) Here are my 3/4" bars.

    Laser pointer for Boring tool - cad

    I looked off and on for months to find an economical quality laser pointer or, sight to use with my vessel boring tool. I basically gave up a while back because all I found that was a decent price only came with a momentary switch. If you did find one with a on/off switch, it was rediculously...

    New download - Boring system drawings

    I looked a long time to find what I deemed the perfect boring system. There are plenty out there, but none fit my bill. I have 23 yrs experience in tool and die, machining and engineering so I am quite picky on that aspect. I decided to design one that met my criteria: - Heavy enough to absorb...
