    TS Dust Collection Improvement Tip

    Just a tip that has worked for me. I have a Ridgid hybrid tablesaw with the dust collection connection at the bottom of the cabinet. The cabinet as shipped from the factory had a lot of air leaks which I sealed with gaffer's tape to improve dust extraction but that still left the large cut out...

    Another tip on what NOT to do

    I think my chisels have it out for me. Another one got me tonight. Luckily no stitches this time, just a small slice on the top of my hand. I recently lowered the rack that holds my bench chisels to make it easier to reach. It still is a good foot off bench height though. One thing I didn't...

    Side Chair construction tip

    Upon making some dining room chairs, I was in a dilemma about how to machine the back leg. The back leg and back-rest were cut as one unit on a bandsaw (see photos). I had no problem sanding the kerf-marks on a stationary belt sander, but the joint where the seat attaches became a problem. I...
