So I am building a box frame using box-joints. I have my Incra 1000SE miter gauge setup with the stop block to cut the side pieces to length, and I’m all done with that. Time to cut the box joints. So I swap the blade on the table saw with my new (only used once before) Dado blade, I attach my homemade high fence for making box joints onto the Incra 1000 fence, and I’m ready to start cutting. If you’ve followed the details up to this point – you might have ...
Well I had my first wood working accident yesterday. I was cutting a thin strip of wood on my tablesaw and it kicked back and pulled my fingers on my left hand into the blade. Thank god it only nicked the tips of two of my fingers. Well it just goes to show no matter how careful you are accidents still do happen. I was useing a push stick and holding the stock up aguenst the fence with another bit of wood and it still got me. So I guess to all of you out there that read this, Please mak...
So I got my jointer blades back from the sharpener, Standard Saw Works, and they did a great job.

I know you guys think I’ve vanished but to your dismay I am still here. It happens that a couple of french friends have come over to visit the country and they are staying over at our home for two weeks so I am quite busy showing them the area. Although after reading Hawg's post I couldn’t help but remember my close call with a spinning blade. Too close for my taste. It was a few years ago and I was building a new porch for a friend of mine. Her house is an ancient (170 year...
No matter how careful you think you are, when you feel the thunk of the blade as it catches on the bone means it’s too late. I reached to brush away a cutoff and got my thumb snagged in the blade. With my wife’s assistance I got it bandaged up, and then sat around all afternoon holding my hand up to relieve the pounding in my thumb. Three Ibuprofen and 30 minutes later I had relief. Now all I feel is stupid.
