  1. Spalted Maple Knife handle

    This started as a Christmas gift for my Dad… last year. Then it was going to be a birthday gift, a Father's day gift, an anniversary gift, etc. I just kept putting it off because I wasn't feeling it, and I just didn't have the right piece of wood. Fast forward to about 2 months ago. My buddy's...
  2. Mitre Saw Cart

    Hi Everyone, Before I get started I just wanted to wish all my fellow Lumberjocks a Happy Holidays and a great new year. Well Santa was good to me this year, Im getting a Compound Mitre saw and I realised that I had no where to put it. So I decided to build this model I wish I could say that...

    It may be rough and tumble…but I'm almost finished enough to fire the shop back up and make some more furniture. I've still got to put fence with slide stops on, trim out in cherry/Ash and make sawdust hoods/backsplash/hook up to dust collector, under counter storage doors etc, but for now its...
  4. Focus on the Workspace
    I'm finally hooking up my compound slide saw to some sort of dust collection…but I can't decide whether it will be across the shop to the dust collector or to the shopvac/5gal sawdust cyclone seperator. If ran across the shoop, I would just pipe it solid across the floor between the two cabinet...

    Hello everybody, I have a 12-inch Ryobi mitre saw and as the title says, it is not cutting straight, at all. On a 6 inch cut, it deviates about 1/8 of an inch. It is two years old and I've never replaced the blade it came with but I have cut a lot with it. Do you think the reason it is not...

    So I know this is a little bit of apples vs oranges comparison but I'm undecided between buying the Festool Kapex and the Omga 1P 300 - The latter being about $350 more. I have single phase 220v and have no reason to move the saw, so the appeal of the Festool's portability isn't a deciding...

    Anyone else having issues with brand new out of the box DeWalt 779 12" double compound sliding mitre saw with the teeth dragging on the bottom as you do a cold cut (just going thru the motions of a cut with the saw unplugged). This is a brand new saw, just out of the box, never started. If you...

    I recent bought both the WWII 40 tooth and Chopmaster from Forrest. I was able to look at the WWII before having to leave from work, but have not been home yet to install them and put them to use. My question is, what is the best way to remove the protective "plastic" off of the carbide and...
  11. Focus on the Workspace
    I just bought the Makita LH1201FL and I can't quite conceive the best way of setting it up. My issue is that the outfeed requirements on the table saw mean I can't position it against the wall (i.e. classic mitre saw set-up). And the mitre saw requirements for longer pieces make it tricky to...

    Making the Hand Tool Commitment So as I plan out my first "Real" workbench I have read dozens of articles, forum threads and blogs here and around the internet about the different bench styles and the build process for them. One common theme stood out and that was they all were made using...

    Mitre Saw Station I saw Blankman's post on his mitre saw dust hood and thought I'd share my idea for a mitre saw station. This one hangs on the wall by a french cleat. I built it in three sections: left and right fence sections and the center saw section. The saw is the DeWalt 12" dual bevel...

    Segmented Table With a Difference This is not exactly my cup of tea but his methodology is definitely inspiring (Special thanks for Candy for showing me how to post an embedded youtube video) . View on YouTube

    I own a lot of craftsman tools and I guess about 3 of these tools have a laser line feature (scroll saw, circular saw, and mitre saw). I think the only tool that has a truly meaningful laser on it is the mitre saw. The other two help you cut a long straight line, but if you really want it to...

  18. Focus on the Workspace
    I am trying to set up my shop so that I don't have to keep swapping around all of my bench-top tools in the middle of a project. Naturally, I don't have an endless amount of space but would also like to have a supplemental fence system for my mitre saw. My current best idea is to mount the saw...

    Folks, I just finished building my crosscut slide, nothing special, just like all of the simple sleds out there. It works, and its accurate, easy and safe. I am thinking that I no longer have a use for my miter saw. My Ridgid Miter saw served me well when I did not have a table saw, but I...

    I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this. Sincerest apologies if this is inappropriate as i am not familiar with this community. My parents have recently inherited some property and while looking through everything the other day we came across a very new looking Laguna 16HD...
