Very informative…. I’m a learning things I didn’t know before. P.S. I love to have some of those cut offs that have figure in them for turning pens and such.

You could land a small airplane on that jointer!!! Nice post, Tommy. I appreciate the effort and time that you are taking to do this. I can empathize with you about the “difficulties” presented by trying to give a lecture AND do some woodworking. It is tough to maintain your concentration.

Keep ‘em coming.

Tommy -

Wow, hard not to be envious of your shop & machinery! Thanks for posting this series. I like how you break everything down to the basic elements . . . makes it all seem much more doable.
