I wanted to add to the mitre gauge posts. Wayne posted a photo tour of the Jessem System, and David posted initial impressions of the Kreg System.
The incra 1000SE is seen here in the Incra Miter Express sled. Both are available at Woodpeck.com You can see the kerf where the mitre sled straddles the blade in the tablesaw allowing for the cutoff piece to be coplanar with the workpiece. This decreases the chance of the saw flinging the cutoff piece back.
The Incra guage is adjutab...

I wanted to put a bolt through the stretchers in order to tighten up an seasonal slack that might occur with this bench. The perfect thing to do, (perfect only because I thought of it,) was to use two dowels for anti-rotation pins and then put a bolt through the stretcher. This is just a short blog entry today.
This video is how I used Dowelmax to align the stretchers to the base.
In part IV of this series, I’ll discuss the top of the bench, and move on to the skirt and vise i...

Yeehaw! I anticipated this step all day. I had originally planned to use Dowelmax to join these pieces because I was more comfy with the jig and this has to align perfect. I then though, phooey! I’ll use Domino and give it a good test drive.
The first picture shows the Festool Domino fitted with the Trim stop. This fitting allows you to “center or off-set the Domino joiner on narrow work pieces for perfect positioning.”
HA! If anyone can screw this up, I can! I d...

Hi Folks,
I did a little podcast on how I use the Festool MFT1080 as my tablesaw outfeed. After watching the video, I think I have more questions than I answered, but if you want to see something specific, drop me a line.
I hope to do some more podcasts on some of my setup and how I do things. I’m not a professional woodworker, so don’t expect David Marks. However, it might just be the way you do things in your basement shop.
Cheers!
...here’s the link to m...

First let me give you short update about our LumberJocks toolbar stats. It has already been installed by 41 people and on average 25 of them are using it daily. I think that these are some nice numbers but I’d like to increase the interest with one cool new addition.
LumberJocks Toolbar has been extended with nice radio component:
This is a natural next step after announcing our new LJ Podcast since this radio component is able to subscribe to the podcasts in addition to the o...

This is exciting news. Few weeks ago I’ve mentioned the idea of starting our own LumberJocks Podcast that would feature Interview series and hopefully more interesting audio or video formats in the future.
Then I received a personal message from Erik Pearson – our fellow LumberJock – who offered me the helping hand with the interviews. He had no prior experience with creating audio podcasts but he had the right commitment and desire. We contacted our experienced podcaster...
