Dust Collection Woes - 20 replies I have finally decided I need to do something about dust collection. I cleaned my shop last night after realizing everything in it had a layer of walnut on it. I am a little lost as to what I need and what would be overkill. My shop is a 10’X20’ one car garage. I currently use a large shop-vac and a 1 gallon shop-vac and move the... |

Lesson Learned: A close call - 3 replies I am a Scoutmaster of a troop of Boy Scouts at my church. One of them is working towards the Eagle rank and for part of his project we are building a 4’X8’ car for a library. The hood and trunk are made to hold books that the librarian is featuring. Anyways, time was short, so while some people were using my cabinet saw I pulled o... |

Bargain Alert - 6 replies One thing I like about some other WW sites, is that the forums usually have a thread or section that allow others to post great deals they have found. I haven’t found that thread here, but I think this topic would be better as a forum type versus a thread. |

Marathon Blade on Sale. . . Good blade? - 1 reply I’m in the market for a good 10” blade for my cabinet saw. I’m using a factory POS blade. I was interested some of the Frued blades and the WW2 blade. I got my Rockler catalog today and they have what appears to be a great deal on Marathon blades. There are two deals. First, if you buy the 40T blade for $30, you get 4 free... |

Working Cast Iron - 8 replies How difficult is it to work with Cast Iron?? I intended to remove a wing from my saw and build in a router extension. I don’t like the idea of removing the wing since it is so heavy and adds to the stability of the saw. I have a standard size insert plate that I am planning to use. Has anyone tried to cut a cast iron wing to accept a r... |

Wood Staining - 5 replies I love to work with Walnut, Spanish Cedar, and Mahogany. As you know, they aren’t very cheap and to buy enough for a large project is tough on my budget. I am aware that no matter what kind of stain you put on pine for example, it won’t look like Walnut. My question is, have you found some good “disguises”? What cheap... |

Clamping Technique - 8 replies How do you all tackle clamping a box with right angles? It’s not much of a problem with most joints, but with miters it is a little tedious to keep them still while clamping. I’ve made some right angle blocks and they work ok. I’ve also used surgical tubing as well. I’d rather not use brads or anything that will requi... |

Freud Glue Line Blades - 13 replies I have heard several people swear by Freud’s Glue Line blades. I glue up a lot of panels b/c I am to cheap to pay the premium for very wide wood. I have to go from the saw to the jointer a lot as a result. This blade is supposed to rip the lumber without saw marks. Anyone have experience with this or a similar blade. My Lowe’s $... |

Inlay technique - 15 replies I’m about to tackle my first inlay and wanted some suggestions. I’ve read up and watched several how-to videos on how to do it. I have no problem cutting the actual piece that is being inlayed into the project. I use that piece to trace the layout with an Xacto knife on the project. Most of the techniques show people using their ... |

Finishing Walnut - 5 replies Hey all, I am constructing a couple of small walnut boxes as gifts and have never worked with walnut before. I don’t have a whole lot of experience with finishing and the experience I have fosters feelings of inadequacy. I also realize your answer will be based on what I’m wanting the outcome to look like. I don’t want ... |
