    Now for some flat work

    I was playing with some cypress and my current deck box was not holding up well. I decided that cypress was probably the best wood for an outdoor project. So my smoking chips are now housed in this cypress deck box. I originally put hinges on it but did not have three hinges alike, so I built...

    Flat topped saw blade

    I am looking for a low cost (CHEAP), but not C%^P, flat topped 10" GP saw blade for the times I need to make a kerf cut, dado, etc. The majority of blades seem to be ATB. It won't be on the saw that often.

    Raised Panel Doors; how flat for the panel?

    Please see the pictures below. I milled these panels (9 1/4" x 33") and had them flat and neatly stacked on my tablesaw. Went out of town for a week and came back to find them warped. :BangHead: Is this amount of cup/twist OK? Should I cut them down the middle, glue clamp and mill again? Does...

    Benchtop Flat Enough?

    I sanded my benchtop. 80 grit followed by 120. I used a flat reference then marked the high areas and worked to blend them in. I also cleaned up the center glue line/offset. The bench is roughly 21.75W x 2.75thk x 84L. I got a few sticks of extruded aluminum 60mm square tubing (85 inches...

    Flooring Flat or Quarter sawn ?

    Thinking about making up some flooring for my own personal use. It'll be RO, I have enough to do what I want in either Flat or QS. Is there any difference in installation technique or is it mainly appearance preference. I'm thinking it's appearance, but thought I would check with the experts...

    $8.95 Flat Rate Box from the Post Office

    Doesn't sound much like a power tool does it? Well you can put about ten, I said TEN of your 10" saw blades in one when mailing out for sharpening. This dramatically lowers the price for each. By bundling an order with a friend you really save. Check out the prices at Dynamic Saw vs what you are...

    Claro Headboard - Gettin' it flat

    My first try at making a router sled to flatten the slab. It worked better than expected. I used a 1 1/2" bottom cleaning bit from MCLS (or MLCS, MSCL, whatever) and it did a great job. Very smooth cut with no tearout. I love that claro - think I'll have to make a trip to Kyle's to get a few...

    Matte or flat finish for patio table?

    Since I'm new at this, I thought I'd ask the braintrust for suggestions. LOML recently purchased a patio table that has what appears to be, a cedar or cypress top. I like the look of the wood but realize we need to protect it from water rings left by drinks:drunken_s . It is on a...

    Plywood Storage: flat or on edge????

    I am looking for advice on storing sheet goods. I would rather store on edge for space savings and ease of access but it seems to warp over time. I noticed that it is shipped and stored at the lumber yard flat. Thanks.
