I have been working on a podcast for a few weeks and just received approval today. After doing a search for High Rock Woodworking and also just woodworking in itunes I was able to find the podcast, so it looks like a good start. In the podcast I will be sharing tips and stories from fellow woodworkers. I still have some details to work out (like adding a picture) but I am making a good start.
Please stop by and give me your comments, even if it is a little constructive criticism. Also,...

I have a Jet JJP-10BTOS 10” Combo Jointer-Planer, and I noted last night that the infeed and outfeed tables weren’t co-planer. There were no instructions in the manual on how to adjust them, so I called the 800# in my manual and after only about 4 minutes got someone on the phone who helped me in under a minute (e-mailing me the information I needed).
Very nice experience from WMH Tool Group (makes of Jet, Powermatic, and others).
Oh, and here is how you do it:

This is for Rivergirl since she was asking about the table.
Rivergirl, I attached the top using 5 pocket holes on each leg and 2.5” long screws.
I used to be intimidated by making drawers since there are so many ways to do it. For these small drawers I used a locking rabbet joint for the face and 2 pocket holes for the back. A drawer is just 4 pieces and a bottom, something I have to keep reminding myself. I cut the rabbet joints on my tablesaw without a dado blade. I just used...

After wood expo I felt extremely motivated to work extra hard. Seeing all the brilliant student work I want so badly for that to be me next year.

After that I can start drawingy tool box and shaker night stand. I have learned alot this week. The 5 7 rule for hand shaping, how to shape elipses and odd profi...

I saw an add for a RAS on CL. Rockwell/Delta Deluxe 105 model # 33-310 sn C7551. Owner said it belong to his grandfather who passed a few years back, but had not used the saw for over 20 years. I’ve tried dating the saw with no luck. Owner’s asking price was $375. I posted in the forum seeking advice and got a better idea as to the worth of the saw. Did a bit of searching and had enough information on price. I went over to take a look at the saw, the owner spoke of his fear of the...

In this three part video series we build a “multi function miter saw station” that will be used not only as a miter saw station but also a space for my sanding machines, drill press and scroll saw.

Well I finished running my wood thru my planer yeasterday and started glueing it up. I have enough material ready to make about 3 or 4 of these tables.
Today I started cutting out the pieces and glueing up some more stock. I was able to dry fit the base for one table. I thought I had figured out how I was gonna dress them up. But as I was working several Ideals came to me so I have not decided which way I will use. I may do more than one and emblish them differently.
Tomorrow I will try...

Wood Scripts From Dark Wood: —-an introduction;
....as a creative writer of the words of woods, i am often enamored by any copy of my species, who would stop and sit awhile, to so share in the bliss of what has been written.
Can I tell a story from the hearth of the forest, while the embers of the charcoaled goods are still steaming forth with frosted screeching, as rustic wood spirits sit around the galactic stones, warming their hands to the anticipation of another fire breathed...

The next job was in an older home. We were redoing a laundry room and bathroom. The walls were lath and plaster and my job was to smooth it down so drywall could be hung over it. I wasn’t at that job site long before I was sent down the street to work on a floor. This house was an older home as well and they were having tile put in the kitchen. The stuff we were laying down was for the tile to be put on top of. So the nails had to be sunk in because it could cause the tiles to bre...

Another day, another dollar, right? Today was a bit slow in the shop so I took advantage of the lack of co-worker presence and shop room to do some personal work. I re-milled the refurbished cedar today. It’s obvious to me that I’ll need to mill some more to complete all the doors. It’s been a toss up between shaker doors with a fibrex panel sprayed with a coloured lacquer or solid panel doors. I struggled with this decision because I don’t like building something...
