I feel I need to geta few more because my current work process involves working on cutting during the weekend, then doing several glues ups (one face per night) during the week.

Wobbling Drill Bit - 9 replies I think I’m asking a question that could be answered by a manual, but I think I’ll get a better response here because maybe my problem isn’t being caused by the bit alone. When I try to drill holes with my drill press, the whole bit wobbles. on smaller bits, the problem seems less pronounced. One time while drilling, the c... |

bench vise - 4 replies I’ve needed a vsie of some type for quite a while now, but other tools have been far more exciting so I’ve skipped over this very important tool until now. Its getting ridiculous though and I think I’m going to break down soon. Can anyone give me some pointers on what I should look for? What I’d like it to be able to d... |

What do plane numbers mean? - 3 replies I’ve tried googling this, but maybe the answer is so simple that no one ever thought that this question would be asked. I’ve been trying to learn a little bit about handplanes by reading online, and have yet to figure out ifthere is any logic to the numbering scheme of handplanes.

I’m thinking of putting up insulation and drywall. My thinking is that it would keep things more temperate in there and maybe reduce the amount of dust tha... |

tips for buying black walnut - 24 replies I’ve got an opportunity to buy some black walnut and was wondering if anyone could offer any tips on what to look for. It sounds as if the lumber was cut over 10 years ago and has sat in a barn after being stickered (?) with the wood spacers. Since it has air dryed for so long, it sounds like this should be good material to work with. I... |

book idea - finishing - 1 reply With all the struggles I’ve had to find the “right” finishes for my projects I think there is a need for a book that shows different stains and fnishes on different types of woods.

making your own lumber - 7 replies Hello,I’ve been lurking around here for a couple weeks and really enjoy reading everyones posts. I’m relatively new to woodworking so I don’t have much to offer yet, but I was hoping to ask a question. I just had a pine tree come up at the roots in my backyard. I cut into it with a chainsaw and based on the rings, it appears... |
