Rikon 10-325 assembly - What am I doing wrong? - 5 replies So finally got around to putting my new bandsaw together and have a bit of an issue with the table. Im hoping someone can point out the bonehead thing I’m doing. I put the 90° bolt in the table like the instructions said. Mounted the table to the trunnions. It appears the table is about an inch too far forward though. The 90° bolt d... |

Blade for cutting curves on a Rikon 10-325 - 5 replies I just picked up my Rikon 10-325 from Woodcraft yesterday and am pretty excited to get it up and running.

There are quite a few threads out there about what people are using for blades to resaw on this mac... |

Wood ID please - 12 replies I bought a good deal of lumber from a cabinet maker going out of business and there were about 25 bd ft of the this wood. He remembers it being bocote, but wasn’t sure. It kind of looks like wenge to me, but I am not too familiar w/ exotics (not too familiar being not at all). It’s a very dense/heavy wood, seems to want to spinter... |

Do you actually use your Lie-Nielsen tools? - 19 replies I was just checking ebay for a Lie-Nielsen scraper plane and seeing what all was out there. Most of the listings are for planes “unused” or owned by a “collector”. It almost made me feel bad for using my LN #4. So just curious, how many of you actually get your LN tools dirty? |

Always sharpen your new hand plane blades - 5 replies So it’s been said a thousand times, and everyone using hand planes knows it and probably does it. There are also probably a thousand people who get into hand planes, get a new and figure they’ll just start using it. Well, I was one of those new to hand plane people today. A few weeks back, I got a LN No 4. I had screwed around wi... |

Modern Federal Style Desk Leg? - 24 replies So Im not a big fan of federal style furniture. I appreciate the craftsmanship, but it just looks too light/thin for my liking. I decided I would see if I could put my twist on a federal style desk and make it somewhat of a cross between federal style and farmhouse (a big chunky style I find appealing). For the legs, I was planning on making ... |

I have $0 and TWO hand planes! - 8 replies So as a follow up to my thread HERE , I am now the proud owner of a LN #4 and low angle block plane. I appreciate all the feedback I got and the final determining factor was LN being made in the USA, and nothing against any other company.

I started looking for projects to see what people were doing w/ the wood and most of what I am seeing is small turnings, knife/gun grips, and maybe a box or two here and there. Is there... |

How'd they do this?! - 13 replies So I traveled off to a different lumberyard and while waiting around, noticed this puzzle sitting by a window: I looked at it for a few minutes, did not see any glue lines or the like. It appears to have been cut w/ forstner bits. All 4 sides are the same. The golf ball can move freely, but of course will not come out. Due to some b... |
