Hi all, I am making another lumber run north around the 16th hitting Portage, Joliet, Chicago, Minneapolis, ******************** Rapids, Bemidji and anything in between. All the stock is kiln dried and 4/4 unless stated otherwise. I have butternut $5/bdft, QS Sycamore $3/bdft, QS and RS Red Oak $2/bdft, Red...

I've posted a new set of plans for sale on my website. These are plans for a full size, full function router table that folds flat for storage or transport. Perfect for the small shop or the jobsite. The 23 page, full color plans detail how to laminate the top, fabricate the aluminum bodied...

I am new to this site and am looking for some help. I generally only work with reclaimed wood. I recently recieved what I initially thought was going to be some oak from a buddy, however after planing it down discovered it is not. I have a hunch as to what it is, however do not want to say as...

I bought this item this week and wondering if any of you all had seen one of these. The handle folds back for what seems to be for compactness. Here is the item folded.

June 18th I emailed Hearne Hardwoods for info regarding lumber and what shipping costs might be for the quantity I need. As of today, June 26th, I have not had any response from them. Has anyone requested and received info from Hearne? Is this a "typical" timeframe for them? I would...

I recently picked up an antique try square at an estate sale. There are no markings on it besides a hand engraved "CC Woods" (assuming a previous owner). The brass inlays look similar, but not identical, to Disston and Stanley. Does anyone know the manufacturer or even a date range this...

This all started when the company I work for threw away 3 nice tabletops from some electronic benches. They were perfectly flat, size - 30" X 60", 1 1/4" thick and laminated with a round bull-nose on the front edge. One of them made a nice workstation for the miter saw. I built a base for the...

Hey guys, Up until yesterday my "workench" was two solidcore doors on top of base cabinets against a wall. I have been really trying to move more and more to hand tools and not having vices & dog holes was getting tough. I played with the idea of making my own bench but decided that i didnt...

I need your expertise (again!). I've been building a 4×4-foot self-contained outfeed table, based on a design in a 2011 Wood Magazine issue. The original design had a box-like center support with casters for rolling. The table top hinged to the center support so it could be folded down...

I bought some Forstner drill bits that I would classify as medium priced. When I open the box and feel the sharpness they all feel like a dull knife. I didn't really expect them to be Samurai sharp but I am really wondering if I need to sharpen them or just take them back. Anyone else...

I'm looking to find a program that would enable me to, rather quickly, make designs for projects I would like to make. The two options I'm looking at are SketchUp and Woodcraft. I looked at some videos of the Woodcraft app and it seems like it's pretty useful. Has anyone ever used this? Has it...

I have a DeWalt DWS780 12" dual bevel miter saw. I am looking for an adapter for the dust shoot that I can hook up to my shop vac. Has anyone found a good solution out there? I called DeWalt and they didn't have anything other than the standard dust bag. Any help or suggestions would be much...

So I made an Amazon purchase recently and needed something in the $10 range to trip the new $35 free shipping limit. I always keep a few items in my wish list for just this occasion and got the Crown Marking knife. I noticed that though the bevel was nicely ground, it left a distinct flat...

I came across an older craftsman radial arm saw on Craigslist. The $30.00 price has me thinking maybe I should pick it up. I have a table saw and a non-sliding miter saw so I'm not sure if I really need the radial saw. Does anyone own all three and if so do you still use the radial saw? Also is...

Cabinetman, Mike Marvel, passed away 9-3-14... He was a great man… He was my longest Best Internet Friend… We will miss him a lot… His last postings are Here...

On episode 6 of season 8 of woodsmith shop they made a very nice Demilune table. Here are the plans for it: http://www.woodsmithshop.com/download/806/demilune-table.pdf If anyone saw this episode (it's not as evident in the images in that PDF) you'd have seen that there was a few different...

HELP!! I need your help finding a project I saw a while ago. I thought I saved it in my favorites, but it's not there. I don't have any idea what you'd call it, and typing, "You know, that thing I want" in the search field didn't really work out. I think when most of us want to cut down a...

Looking to replace my router bits which were stolen several months ago. Just ordered a new router and now need new bits but want something that will last and still do the job without spending a lot of money. I am only looking for bits that I would use on a regular basis such as round over, and...

This is not an Ad for the company… (I am NOT affiliated) BUT… Their products are SO GOOD, I thought Y'all would appreciate their work and stimulate THINKING about "How could I make That?" to generate New Projects! I thought this short video was just AWESOME... I hope Y'all like it & get...
