Planer Feed - 13 replies Hi, I have a Ridgid 13” planer. I have been having a problem with the feed control. After I run a few boards through they will get stuck and it looks like the roller is turning because it leaves a mark but the board stops feeding. The blades are sharp and make a clean cut. The table is clean and smooth and has polish. A loose board will ... |

Table Top Panel Movement - 3 replies I recently saw a video on building a coffee table using pocket screws. The project was oak and the top was a glued up (with screws) panel. The top was attached to the apron using screws. The dimensions were roughly 40” X 24”. My question is at what size panel do you have to consider wood movement and not attach it directly to the... |

It came up again when I was joining some 1×10 pine for project that had a strict width requirement. 1×2 through 1×6 nominal boards will lose about 1/2” in width after sufacing. Why do 8” and greater lose 3... |

Strange Odor in New Wood - 1 reply Ever since I was a kid I’ve loved the smell of sawdust, wood and a lumber yard. So I was suprised when I picked up some 2x lumber from HD for a home repair project and I noticed a funny smell when I started cutting the boards. After a while you could notice the smell as soon as you entered the shop. It was warm and closed up. This is ... |

Wider Width Lumber - 12 replies Hello Everyone, I have a strange question. My wife bought an blanket chest. (Yes, I already know what you are thinking, but the shoemaker’s kids always had the oldest shoes.) It appears to be older and is simply constructed. It is made using simple butt joints, however whatever was used to hold the joint (screws??) was covered with plugs. ... |
