John -

I do get around, don’t I… :-D

It’s good to be here – I’ve looked at some info on this site for a while, and it looks like a very friendly and experienced place…

Hi Tom

I am fairly new too and I trust you will find this place as welcoming as I have. Welcome!

Welcome Tom, I came to this group about a week ago and am just learning the ropes. I envy your list of tools. Looking forward to see your projects and what you have to say.

-- Ron in Osseo, Minnesota

Hey, Hall, thanks for the welcome. Believe me, that list was purchased over the past ten years… it was a slow process to arrive at.

I’m going to start posting shots of my projects over at my blog… I figure that would be an interesting thing to share with my readers.

thanks

Welcome to LJ Tom. Tell the truth now…..Do you own a wobble dado blade?

-- Brian, Virginia Beach

Welcome Tom. Your list of tools should also be on your workshop page. That way it’s easier to find than in a Topic or a blog.

Oh, Brian, do I have a story….

I used to own a Delta wobble dado blade. That was way back when I owned a Delta benchtop saw. The guy at big blue borg told me, “Yeah, this is GREAT! Works just like Norm Abram’s on the New Yankee Workshop.”

Got it home and had to plow a dado in some cabinet sides. Couldn’t get the darned thing to work at all. Reset it, it wouldn’t start the cut where I wanted it to.

After two weeks of this, I tried to return it, but they wouldn’t let me. So, I took it home, stepped into the street and chucked it like an olympic discus. The thing flew two front yards distance before landing on it’s edge and rolling another yards worth… Sparks everywhere! It was dramatic.

After that, I dropped the $100 and picked up a Freud stacked dado. Haven’t looked back since.

BTW – Karson, an excellent idea!

Welcome Tom I’m also new and I can say this site is tops. Again welcome

Hi Tom,

I just hope you have time for your blog. This site seems to take up more and more of my time. So much to look at and so little time (deep sigh).

Welcome to the site.

Scott – man, I feel your pain. However, the stuff keeps coming. I’ve been putting the site together for six months now and have ‘yet’ to run out of topics. However, when I get to describing the different kinds of sawdust I find in my navel, be sure to put me out of my misery…

Hey Tom. I recognize you from Marc’s site! Welcome!

Welcome Tom,
I am new here also and have received a great welcome. I have actually been to your site through “The Wood Whisperer”. I liked your article on flattening boards w/ hand planes. Since I don’t have a jointer, I typically flatten my stock by hand also before it goes to the tabletop planer. I don’t know if you were using winding sticks or not but a tip I got from Chris Schwartz is to use two pieces of aluminum angle to determine if your board is truly flat. Works great and you don’t have to worry about them shrinking/swelling. Take care.

Welcome Tom.

enjoy your time with us.

Hey, Stacey – Rather than use winding sticks, I just use the top of the workbench… works like a charm.

Tomorrow, I’m gonna head out to the shop to do the edge jointing tutorial… Gotta keep that content fresh!
