after months of drifting through a nebula of molasses ,and collecting parts for a complete shop vacuum system ,yesterday , i finally got inspired to start the system .at the heart is a 2hp. 220 v. 18 amp squirrel cage fan from penn state industries .this has a 12” impeller made of 1/8” steel , so i don’t have to worry about it bending or shattering .
in order to get it under the present shop and temporarily set up ,it was necessary to mount it on a sled , so i could pul...

Why intarsia?I wanted to try my hand at intarsia and maybe marquetry later on. I have been seeing some of Kory’s wonderful intarsia projects for awhile and also Shipwrights beautiful marquetry, both of which I find very inspiring. (project Photos at the bottom)
I decided to go the intarsia route first as this type of work is easier done on a scroll saw whereas fine marquetry when done on a scroll saw requires advanced sawing skills which can only be learned through practice, and I ha...

Hello Friends,
I’m long overdue for an update so there are a lot of pictures. I’ve made quite a bit of progress but the ending is not so happy I’m afraid, after reassembling the parts last night I discovered an error I will have to fix. The great thing about woodworking is that almost anything is fixable, it’s just frustrating. You’ll see what I mean at the end.
As usual, I’ll let the pictures do most of the explaining:
Cut the shoulders on the angled te...

It has been so long since my last blog and I want to thank all of you for your patience! Life has a way of getting in the way of our plans. There is that saying, “If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.” Well I was planning on getting to the Sea Gulls much sooner than this but…well you know.
So I have finally started. I think I have already told you there will be three; all at different sizes, representing different heights. This will hopefully give the viewer...

Well another day… not much done… still recuperating…cleaned up the small spot of blood on the saw.. lol
I did however do some things that were slightly constructive..My good friend Col came over with some of his creations..boxes and boards [cutting type] that needed to be passed through my 16/32 drum sander, sure makes light work of flattening and smoothing a cutting board .. especially endgrain.. and safer too.,Another friend and LJer Ken rang looking for a small amount ...

Ok folks we have some momentum going here and have made some real progress lately. We’re getting close to the end.
So the idea is, flatten the top, glue and bolt on the tool tray, then plane to tray to be coplanar with the top.
First I chamfer the dog holes, I do this again after flattening. I figure I want to avoid spelching when planning the top by chamfering them beforehand. I’m not ashamed to say I used a routah (Norm accent)
Patched a couple of holes from when this top wa...

Hi guys ,, I had a request to make a tutorial with regards the endgrain Tumbling Block Design.First off,.., You need to decide the size of the blocks…. for this example I used 1” stock… Or something similar.. actually just over .. once dressed.
Set the blade of the table saw to 60 degrees.. a bevel box makes this simpleI use the INCRA fence system so it is easy to rip bevels off side of the blade.Once the bevels are ripped measure the length of the bevel and move the f...

Ouch! That Smarts, I mean it still Smarts!!!! Even though I had surgery on Monday, my fingers still hurts like helk. Surgery was successful, they had a hard time waking me up, I have sleep apnea, so they were shaking me and hollering at me to wake up every 5 minutes. So I was in Post Op a little longer than normal but thats OK. I eventually got home and had some coffee and I was good to go. Today I get to see the Dr’s handywork, I have not seen my hand since my wife changed the dressing...
