  1. 17th Century Joint Stool

    I was inspired on a trip to Plymouth, MA when we visited Plymouth Plantation, a 17th century re-creation of the original settlement. Everything that exists here is done in the style of the late 1600's using tools and craftsmanship of the period. Peter Follansbee is the joyner in the community...
  2. Cedar Mirror frames

    I was hired to build 2 frames for two mirror's for a bath room. They wanted it to be able to hold some towels for decoration, so I used a couple of horse shoe's. I think these are my best frames yet, but I still need to build a miter sled. It would have been nicer miters.
  3. My Big Ash knockdown Roubo Workbench

    This workbench is my 60-th birthday present (Today September 14, 2015). I worked all through the summer to build it. Now that I know what I am doing I think I could build it in 3 or 4 weeks if I had no distractions, all the lumber, and the hardware. Front view End view Made some...

  6. Woodturning
    What a nice couple days. Though I live in the toolies and, generally, find any good craigslist deals far distant, I looked at the list the other day and saw a Rockwell Delta 46-450 wood lathe for one hundred bucks and only a couple miles away. Though I haven't found a listing of how much yet...
  7. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hi All, I was wondering what the LJ community has to say about which jointer to get. I see Grizzly has a pretty well reviewed 12" jointer G0609x with a helical head. I was considering that. But by the same token for 3k I could hunt around for an old beast like an Oliver or Porter. But then...

    Hi All, When considering buying a piece of equipment, especially used, you guys are always my first stop. So here it goes. I found a minimax fs35 jointer/planer for sale on my local craigslist. I was able to talk the guy down to 1000. Do you think it's still a good deal...
  9. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hi, So I purchased a used Minimax Fs35. The tables are flat when measured against themselves but are not coplaner. Unfortunately, I only have experience with adjusting parallelogram beds and am not sure how to adjust these. I assume there will be shimming involved, but I'm not sure how to...

So, short of the story is they were still available and I went to check them out. Now let's see if I can do...

It is through a site called Interschola and is going on now through 3/21/2014. There were several killer deals on some heavy duty old arn being...
