Website:
I am retired and live in a Senior Community in Osseo, Minnesota. I enjoy creating things with wood. Anything from some wood carving, rough cutting an old used plank of wood for a birdhouse, to making a smooth accurate cut on an exotic board to make a show piece.
Making a smooth accurate cut is what lead me to this web-site.
The table saw, in the wood-shop here at the Senior Community, is a 10" Craftsman with a fence that is not much good for anything more than making a rough cut on old plank of wood for a birdhouse. My search on the internet for an accurate table saw fence that I could make myself lead me to the one that 'Hutch' made (DIY Table Saw Fence #1).
'Lumberjocks' seems like a good place to go and spend some time with a group of guys (and gals) who like woodworking.

I just inherited about 100 board feet of 4/4 rough saw walnut. These boards have been stored for a few years. I want to use some of these boards now so I am going to take them over to a friend’s woodshop and plane them to ¾. My question is: I am c...

Thanks, Ron,
I’ve got a table to deliver to Georgetown at the end of the week. I did the opposite of you. I retired in Maine, but supporting the heating oil company started getting old, so I moved back to Texas.

Ya know what?
That ol’ 10” T-saw will do alot more than what you say…I’d guess that you have the ability to make it sing to you, after seeing your dulcimer! My tablesaw is a 1952 Delta- Homecraft contractor’s model…very heavy.It came with a cutter/shaper head and two sets of bits as well as a bunch of really really old steel saw blades and some funky airplane propeller looking dado blades that actually have carbide teeth on them. The fence is not only bent in the middle, but there is a slight twist as well. The only things I’ve changed is upgraded to a Baldor motor- nearly doubling the RPM’s to @ 3200, and I replaced the cinch-down at the other end of the fence. I’ve built quite a few projects with it, including making my own trim for my house when I remodeled it-using that saw and a skil-wormdrive that’s about twelve years old now, and a 1968 craftsman 1/4” router w/ depth adj.
The thumbnail on my handle is a DVD cabinet I built using that old Delta…the cabinet has been finished for a few years and to date there are about 650 titles in it… mostly kid vid’s or the like that are suitable to kids, like 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, Some Like it hot, Singing in the Rain, Oklahoma,White Christmas( my kids watch that year ‘round on their own) ya get the picture, old timer? Mr. Rogers died, ya know. Buddy.

thanks for the welcome. I assure you I always use push sticks and feather boards. my grandfather lost several fingers on a tablesaw. he was tired, pushed on, and tryed to finish quickly. I treat all my tools with respect, knowing they can do to wood and fingers.
