  1. can't stop us

    -i was a bit depressed when it came down to time to eat before midnight before surgery & i still had not attached or sanded the seat slats…but, apparently, that can be done (albeit slowly) with one hand. I know this is no different than the other benches; it just felt like more of an...

    my wife was looking through my pattern book and decided she wanted this one to go with her still fern plant I had done for her earlier.

    About 2 years ago I build my mother a clock. It was made out of oak with a cherry stain on it. (Not this one). (Mine you, I'm 15) I showed my grandmother the clock I built and she just loved it. So of couse she wanted one. My first clock that I built was completely my own design, so on this one...

It has a sliding drawer within, and the bottom of the chest is lined with aromatic cedar. I had never worked with Santos mahogany, and although it...

    I am having problems with my blade tracking. I can get it dialed in (centered on the tire), then once I release the quick tension lever, then reapply the tension, the blade jumps forward about 1/4" when it is turned on. I have also kept the blade tensioning on. When I start it up the next...

    so i think i am going to take the plunge tomorrow and buy a bandsaw! I have been doing all the back and forth comparisions online and for me it came down to the Rikon 14" Deluxe or a Grizzly G0555X. After consideration of every model i could find in my price point (under $900) i think the best...

    I got a new Carter (CTR1) Stabilizer for my 14" bandsaw as a gift. My saw takes the Carter (STD1) model unless I upgrade to the Carter bandsaw guide conversion for my saw. In the near future I will be getting the Carter Magfence that works really well with the guide conversion set up. But, my...

    Has anyone replaced their upper wheel shaft hinge with a product from another company? Jet only sells the whole assembly for over $100. I just need the hinge part that moves the upper wheel to center the blade. It is bent like crazy. I can get the entire assembly from Grizzly for 12 bucks. I'm...

    I am considering upgrading my Jet 14" bandsaw by installing the Carter ball bearing blade guides. I have a couple questions for those who already own these guides. 1. The basic guide system comes with a short blade guard intended for a saw without a riser block. Carter folks tell me that for my...

    I'm assembling my brand new Laguna 14/12 bandsaw, and found out that the lower guide block (the one below the table) is tilted in relationship to the blade. The result is that top and bottom ceramic guides on this block cannot be adjusted so they are both the same distance back from the blade...

    The great rebar kerfuffle custom,furnitureThis blog is on my website, but I thought I'd post here as well. It doesn't have a whole lot to do with woodworking other than how it relates to treating customers, but it's kind of a funny story. re'-bar- a steel bar or rod used to reinforce concrete...

    Short question, are Olson band saw blades any good? Further, what blades do you all prefer or recommend? I have been using Carter blades but I have broken two blades recently. Charlie

    Thought you folks would get a kick out of this. In another forum I belong to the admin had posted some photoshopped pics of surfers with paddles saying he was seeing paddles everywhere (standup paddlesurfing is taking the surfing world by storm). I had to respond by adding my paddle to this...
