Well it says that it’s been 8 days since my last Unisaw post but that can’t be right because it seems like for-friggin’-ever!
Nothing
I gotta focus, my brain, not the camera.
I finally ordered the touch up paint for my Unisaw. Hopefully it will be here next week.
Hopefully it will be the correct color. If not, I guess I will have to have it mixed and buy a sprayer.
Side note: I was adding tags to this post and under “Skill” I couldn’t find a tag...

Here it is:
And the view of the router from the bottom:
You can see the clamp and depth adjustment knob are easily accessible, but if I wanted I could use a T-wrench to adjust the depth from the top of the table. I’m not too concerned about that, since with this Ryobi you need to release that clamp so you have to duck down under the table anyway.
So, it works, well enough at least for what I need it to. I’m planning on using it to rout out the dadoes for the rai...

Hey everyone, It was suggested that I start a discussion on how to find and harvest burls. Please give your input also.
I don’t deal with straight grain that often. I cut and sell burls for a living so here is what I know.
It is illegal to harvest a burl without permission. of course if it is on your own property you can give yourself permission. What I do is put an ad on Craig’s list saying I want your burls. Most people don’t know what burls are. So you don’t get that many calls....

Mentioned this in a comment yesterday, and got started on it last night. I’m creating a router table insert for my Craftsman table saw using 1/2” sheets of MDF laminated together. There’s also a 1” strip glued vertically across the bottom on one edge (like an I-beam) for extra support.
Here it is,glued up:
Alternate title: meticulously sealing my MDF topped bench one drop of glue at a time :D You can see my table saw in the background. The bottom sheet is...

The aim of this project is to design and build a static-blade saw that replaces the rotating blade with a japanese handsaw blade which is very thin and removes little wood during the cut leaving a very thin ‘kerf’ (< 0.5mm). Japanese handsaws are well known to cut aggressively and unlike european saws they do so on the pull stroke. Also, the blades in japanese handsaws are designed to be easily removed from the handle. If this blade were fixed at a slight slope away from the in...

I put this in a forum a few days ago and wanted to add it here for everyone.
I am on the mailing list for a local auction company that specialises in estate auctions. They have a sale comeing up on Oct 31st and Nov 7th that has at least 9 Shopsmiths in it. They will be selling at least 3 of the Shopsmiths on the Oct 31st day and the rest on Nov 7th.
Here is a link for pics of the sale items.

Well I took a few minutes before dinner tonight to test the cleaning/degreasing products I bought the other day.
I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
I just checked my receipt, I paid $1.50 for a 16oz can of oven cleaner at Big Lots.
I hope you found this useful.

...just drive past Rockler and keep going. Yeah right.
Pitch and resin remover.
After I left Rockler I stopped at Big Lots where I bought 3 different kinds of cleaning/degreasing products.
The Rockler stuff was $10-12 a bottle and the Big Lots stuff was $2 a bottle.
I will do a side by side comparison if I ever get to work on my Unisaw again.
Having it at home is comforting but by the time I get home from work it’s too late to do anything.
I guess it will be Saturday bef...
