festool patents? - 19 replies I could really use the festool domino, but refuse to pay what they’re asking for it. Aside from other joinery systems (like biscuits, dowels, pocket screws), I would really like to know when other companies, like Makita, Bosch, etc can legally copy the design and build their own versions of the domino. I refuse to pay outrageous sums of ... |

condensation into rust - 3 replies Here in north Philly it has been very cold lately. My detached 2 car workshop is unheated (for now). But today the high reached 51 outside, while the inside of my shop remained cold. Imagine my surprise when I came home from work today to find my table saw coated with newly formed rust that wasn’t there this morning. I wiped of the con... |

explain irs auctions please - 4 replies I’m thinking about making some purchases on an irs auction, but there are a number of requirements that need to be met before bidding. I don’t quite understand what this means: http://www.irsauctions.com/popups/insurance_criteria.html Has anyone here bought anything from them? How was your experience? Were there any rules to... |

titebond III vs titebond extend - 23 replies I know there are other topics about slow setting glues, but I wanted to post this anyway. Recently I’ve lost 6 (that’s right, SIX) cutting boards due to my titebond II setting up before I was finished adjusting them in the clamps. Now I thought I was being efficient by trying to glue 3 at a time in some 48” parallel clamps an... |

How would you two piece an armoire? - 4 replies I am going to start building two armoires soon, for my wife and me. The trick is, I have to two-piece them because our doorway is 76” high, and the awkward layout of the narrow halls + 3 doorways prevents the pieces from being carried on its side. Her piece will be about 80”H, not including the feet and some decorative crown or som... |

card scraper 1st time long time - 7 replies I was just making a few cutting boards to improve some areas in my woodworking and came across a shiny new set of scrapers that were never used. After my last glue-up, I had to do some heavy sanding. I felt the top of the boards, which were flat, but not perfect. I could feel the lines between the wood. I used a plain scraper for (I kid you ... |

Costly raised panel doors - 10 replies I’ll try to sum this up quick. I would like advice of what I could do to make some big armoire raised panel doors cheaper. And please advise if you would do something differently (and you probably would). I just finished my first big project, a 3 piece entertainment center with 4 raised panel doors. Painted thank goodness. Next project... |

outfeed table problem - 10 replies I’ve been a lurker to this site for some time, but I’ve signed up with a question. My outfeed table for my TS doubles as an assembly table. It sits about 1/4” below TS top and has routed grooves for the runners of my jigs. Believe it or not, I’ve never cut anything at a 45i on my TS until the other day, and I noticed t... |
