  1. Jigs & Fixtures
    Happy New Year, all! QQ about using a thickness planner sled to flatten a board: Should the cleat be on the leading end going into the planer? Or on the trailing end? I've been doing the trailing end (seemed natural) but I came across a video recently (can't find it again) that said the cleat...

    I recently acquired a Powermatic 221 20” belt driven planer (5hp, segmented infeed roll, segmented chip breaker, 3 blade cutterhead). The machine came from a school and it was way out of adjustment in multiple areas. The knives are not perfectly aligned, but they didn’t seem too bad so I left...
  3. Projects Convertible Kreg Jig Storage Drawer

    I love jigs, organization, and trick solutions. I recently built a flip-top cart for my planer because, at 97lbs, f*%& hauling it out every time. It works great. For stability, I added a drawer slot for something in the future. While dealing with all my Kreg jig stuff in a drawer I realized that...

    I do not know where the little red wire from the off switch goes. I am assuming this was wired 3 phase 208. With the red wire connected to L1 the planer will run but not switch off. I Would like to see a photo of one that is correct or some other type help.
  5. Projects Trivets

    I made a couple of trivets from a Steve Good pattern, one cedar and one poplar, each about 1/2 thick, glued a thin piece of plywood on the back and filled each with colored epoxy, red in the poplar and silver in the cedar. Have not decided if I am going to put a finish on them yet. I used a...

    Hello everyone, I'm building a dining table that's about 4.5 ft long lengthwise. I don't own a jointer so I'm trying to find what the best method for face jointing the boards. My thought was to buy a sheet of 3/4" melamine and use that as a flat reference surface and shim the boards and run the...

    I needed some cauls, and every instruction I can find involves using handplanes. However, my handplanes and handplaning skills both suck. Plus, this seems not very precise, and not very reproducible. I thought of a way I might be able to trick the planer into making them instead, and I think it...

    Small Juniper bowl. Not the shape I had in mind when I started. I removed bark, and cracks, and wormholes, then worked with what was left. November 2022
  10. Projects For the Love of Animals

    I made this for an upcoming auction at a local animal rescue center. I used their logo (which is black and white) and dressed it up a bit with walnut burl and aspen. It measures 11.5" x 14".

    I have a Dewalt DW735x planer which keeps popping the internal breaker when planing boards. The boards start going through the planer with no issue but halfway thru, the motor starts to labor and the internal breaker pops. I can reset the breaker after a minute or so and then continue after I...

    Unfortunately, after not posting any projects for months, my latest project is another urn. This made this urn a simple unadorned cube 7.5" wide X 7.5" deep X 8" high. The front & back panels have rabbets that join to the sides, as does the top & bottom panels. I made it for my late Japanese...

    Good morning, I am currently in negotiations with a couple regarding a used Total Shop 15-6 Planer. Below are some pictures. They are asking $750; however, I think this is too high given the condition. Can anyone advise me as to what they think a fair price would be for this tool?

  18. Projects Saw till

    Been organizing my shop, and I no longer needed my old chisel till so I knocked out the existing rack within it, added a bar at the bottom and a board at the top, et voilá. Some day I’ll clean up those square corners and get a coat of oil on the new parts, but for now, my dovetail saws are off...
