So I noticed after looking on Facebook that there were no woodworking guilds in Oklahoma that I could fine so I’ve made a Facebook page titled woodworkers Guild of Oklahoma basically just because a lot of other states have a guild and my hopes are to build some networking and make some relationships with some other woodworkers locally because to be quite honest I don’t have but one friend who is a woodworker and he can’t do anything right now because of a personal injury. ...

Wood has three dimensions and the table saw cuts both X (length) and Y (width)
The Z (thickness) axis needs a lunch box planer. The table saw has the Incra rip fence and miter gauge so X and Y are covered. Z however needed some help getting the same accuracy as the saw.
One of the benifits of digital gauges is that I can see the reading without squinting or having to bend down.
I have a digital height gauge to set the saw height and set the router bits consistently. Repeatability is...

Used to have a shop, X got in the divorce. :( Fast forward 15 years & I have 2/3 of 1/2 of a garage to build a cabinet shop in.
The core of any shop is the table saw and within my (retired) spending limit I got a brand new Grizzly G0715P. Simultaneously with the saw purchase I added an Incra LS-III rip fence and an Incra miter gauge.
I’m disabled and can’t walk / stand a lot so everything is within reach of my chair in front of the saw.
I’ve got most all of th...

Made a lot of mistakes on this one, which caused me to learn a bunch of new tricks and fixes. Firstly, I shouldn’t have used crooked wood for the box sides. I knew what would happen. All the corners were bad of course. I cut them out! Then when I was doweling the new corners, they cracked. Just wanted to show my project that I love and hate and maybe hear some feedback, or other horror stories.

This build was a result of a challenge from another you-tuber named Opa Koster. I really liked the results and wanted to share the pictures and video here on lumberjocks.
The bench was bought from a local antique store and was painted with some ugly green paint over the wood and cast iron. I had quite a task to remove that paint and primer from the cast iron.
I liked the back cast iron piece but I envisioned a different project for it. So it has been saved it for a later project ...

Wheels are done.
I glued up the sleeper and engine block. Used purpleheart and pine. The block has the firewall attached.The purpleheart bleed into the pine. I will use tape to cover the purpleheart and lightly sand the pine to clean it up. Was this from the resins? That is it for this weekend back to work in the morning.

This is a first draft of what should become a nice illustrated tutorial on making a pair of one piece pipes.
The pipe making process is much more complicated and needs a lot of tools to make.
Pipe making requires:
Table saw
Drill press (several bits)
Band saw
4” Stationary Belt sander
Oscillating Spindle Sander
1” belt sander
8” disc sander
ROS sanding @ 120 & 240
Hand sand with sanding sponge
At this point the pipe is ready for finishing.
