    Enablers, Get In Here: Miter Gauge Choice

    The standard Grizzly miter gauge that came with my bandsaw has gone kaput (plastic handle broke). So I am contemplating using my Jet miter gauge for the bandsaw, and getting a better one for my tablesaw. I am leaning toward the Incra V120 (I like the 1 degree settings)...

    wood choice for benchtop

    I've been thinking of building a workbench (that is after I finish my current project) for some time. My current setup of a plywood sheet and some sawhorses leaves something to be desired, especially when it comes to handplaning. From review/books/plans, hardwood benchtops are typically made...

    Planer choice

    I am looking at buying a new planer and am considering the 13" Rigid. Has anyone had any experience with this planer. The price is very competitive, but I read that the blades are secured by the end of the blade and wondered if that affected quality of cut.

    froe club/maul/beetle - wood choice, size, etc?

    I am pretty sure there will be a good froe under the tree this year. I have been using a so-so one I made (bolt on handle that follows grain a little too willingly) and whacking it with whatever is handy. I want to start making purpose built ones in the future.

Thought I would try my hand, but I'm a little stumped over what wood I should use. The plans call for the head to be 2 1/2" x 5". I have some good red oak...
