  1. Band saw upgrade...

    This is the second upgrade on this old 197? Rockwell Band saw. The first was to lower it to my new stature.

  7. Christmas Present for Mom

    My Parents bought a new dining room table that is square in shape and rather large to accommodate when all the family is there. She asked if I could make a Lazy Susan for her, so I decided to make her one for Christmas. It's made of Ipe (top and base), measures 22 1/4" across and has a 12"...

    When I began woodworking, I was already in a wheelchair. As I collected my power equipment, it became a safety issue for me to lower the work areas to a safe height. Yesterday Gary brought to my attention an article in Woodworkers Journal E-zine about "Access by General", the Canadian...
