I had a couple hours to myself on Sunday. So I took advantage of the time and “upgraded” my table saw. A couple of weeks ago I picked up a feather board at Hartville Tool. I know I probaly could have made one, but that’s not the issue here. Anyways, back to Sunday. A couple of quick cuts and a few counter sunk holes, now I feel a little safer using my saw (or at least I will the next time I use it). It was a little “mini-project” but still I feal I accom...
Well – here is my version of the short fence. I’d really appreciate your looking at this and letting me know if I’m all wet in my description/explanation or if I’m missing the point or did not explain something very well. That’s the only way I’ll learn – if you tell me. I sincerely appreciate your honesty and your input. So here goes. The case for the short fence is all about safety. When you cut a board you only have complete control of t...
At Pivot Point of Horizontal and Vertical —-have you yet wondered what is at the point of pivot here, where I tilt my saw from horizontal in a continuous downward motion to reach a place of vertical cut? I must confess that the terms here ‘horizontal’ and ‘vertical’ can lead to many understandings, so I am going to try and narrow down what I am talking about here. This will lead me out again, today and over the weekend to shoot some more photo’s so th...

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...
I have done it hundreds of times—making repetitive cuts on table saw—and I am sure you have too. But NEVER get complacent using a table saw! There I was cutting a doado in a length of soft cedar, guiding it on past the blades, when it bound up and shot back! When it did, it not only broke my newer fetherboard, propeled the board back into my truck tailgate, but it also drew the push block—with my hand—back over the spinning dado blade. Here is the board. I ...
One of the things I will miss once I’d quit Japan it will be the safety. It’s definitely the safest country I ever lived in. I regularly park my bike downtown leaving it for hours in a row fully loaded with a backpack or unattached goods I bought, and don’t even think that anything could be missing at my return. This possibility simply doesn’t cross our minds. Guaranteed, Kyoto with 1,5 million inhabitants is far from the crazyness of Tokyo Metropolitan Area and ...
I finally did some wood-turning yesterday, & my dust shield worked great. It can be slid to follow along with the area your working when doing a longer turning. I was concerned that the plastic window on it would get dirty because of static, but it stayed clear of dust. It also didn’t interfere with my work.My sweetheart was setting up her display of Dickens carolers yesterday, & mentioned she should have a light post. I surprised her, & made one for her. I’ll show it...
This one is also out of the order intended, but I’d like to keep these things together. I still haven’t completed the workshop reorganization project. There seems to be so many distractions that sidetrack me. I recently made a combination shield, & dust hood for my lathe. I looked at a lot of them that you can purchase, but I opted to design my own to fit my own lathe better. It slides under my lathe bed. I guess you can put this into “Getting workshop organ...
