 Trefoil How-toI posted this project over the weekend and got several questions from people about it, so I thought I’d share some of the process in case anyone’s interested. You can find out more about where the object comes from here: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.314.4240and here:https://arxiv.org/abs/0811.0225Be warned….there’s math in them thar links! The process is pretty straightforward. To begin, I cut bars 1 inch x 1 inch, making sure they ...  Table Saw Modifications #4: Router Table Enclosure: Part 1 - CarcaseThis is Part 1 of a tutorial for building an enclosure for the router lift I added to the extension table on a SawStop table saw. Check it out here:http://trentdavis.net/2017/04/07/table-saw-modification-router-table-enclosure-part-1/  Shop stuff #87: Building a tool chest.I need to clear a spot in my shop to continue insulating and sheathing the walls. I want to get rid of my tool chest, so I am making a built in unit to replace it. I start with making the sides of the chest. View on YouTube  Lots of tension in my mahogany!View on YouTube Recently I was ripping a piece of mahogany on my table saw and there was so much tension in the board that I couldn’t complete the cut. In fact, it was binding so tightly on the blade that I had to work to get the board off of the saw. I haven’t experienced this kind of wood tension very often. What is your favorite way to deal with this kind of problem? Thanks,Charlie  My workbench overviewThis is not a build video, it is a video explaining the pros and cons of the massive workbench I built. If you are interested in the build video, they are on my channel and have links in this video’s description. https://youtu.be/Y_AdilMBcec  Honey locust bench. #2: Slow progress is still progress nonetheless.Quick update from my honey locust bench build. I have been trying to juggle this in with a myriad of other projects that seem to pop up daily. My daughters birthday is tomorrow and I had the pleasure ( heavy sarcasm) of putting together this monstrosity of a swing set. I pray that one day my daughter will have kids and have to suffer the same fate as I haha. Two whole weekends of battling this behemoth and it’s finally complete. Now I can focus on some of my stuff, hopefully. I ...  Left-Tilt Delta Unisaw Model 36-842 - Tilt Won't LockI have a 15-20 year old Delta left-tilt Unisaw table saw. The tilt mechanism works well and easily adjusts with the hand wheel. The lock wheel also turns freely, but when it is turned down and tightened, you can still turn the hand wheel. That means that’s wood passes through the saw, any vibration or forces between the fence and blame can affect the degree of tilt. I went to my local Woodcraft store where I purchased the saw and the owner/manager explained that Delta is basically out o...  Making a Traditional Tool Cabinet Pt. 2View on YouTube The 2nd part of my traditional tool cabinet project!  100 foot cabinet shop #3: Dust collection!? We don't need no steenkin' dust collection!Was cleaning out the saw and was impressed with how much dust accumulated even with a 4” line. The dust collector was not clogged but the saw dust simply doesn’t self cascade into the vac hole. So I had a thought that since the saw cabinet was filling anyway (and it holds a lot of dust), that perhaps I was wasting time/energy cycling the DC for every little saw cut. So I now don’t bother turning on the DC for the saw until I’m doing a cleanout. Discuss! M  Router Cabinet Redo #3: Base & shelfThe base is basically a piece of 3/4” poplar plywood with a solid oak edge band that is secured with pocket hole screws and glue. I machined a 3/4” dado 1” up from the bottom of the left, right and back sides and the base just slides in. Before assembly I still need to position the 4 locking casters and glue and screw the the base and shelf into place. The upper shelf is the exactly the same piece as the base except I placed to dado 6” from each side to positi...
