For the guy who has cut his board 2or3 times and its still to short. - 0 replies

Lay it on your board in the middle, using your circular saw make a long cut on the angle you just drew using a straight edge.. Next using your router, make a clean cut on both ...

It came with a modest amount of xtras and vertuall...

TIMBERMATE-wood filler - 10 replies

I don’t know how many of you use wood filler, I imagine most, but I’ve found a product I first read about in popular woodworking called Timbermate. It’s some pretty incredible stuff. Water soluble, it takes stain well, if it dries out you just add water and it reconstitutes. After sanding you can sweep up the dust, add water an...

I hope O'malley was a smart Irishman - 6 replies

Well a few days ago I heard so much good about the O’malleys plunge router I bought one. Just in case my other one goes to heck, I reasoned to my wife. So I hope you guys that said it was the next best thing to Mark’s new saw, were right. What the heck, the price was right. jockmike2

Roger's sculpture - 2 replies

You mentioned in your tag on the freeform sculpture it was made from used manzanita. I went to the woodsource and they had never heard of it. Is it a plastic material or some other medium? Jockmike2
