Build a Flammables Cabinet
Storing flammable liquids safely is a good idea for any home shop. This cabinet is constructed to meet the code requirements of the National Fire Protection Association. Specifically, it's designed to keep fire away from its flammable contents for 10 minutes, so you have time to escape.

Air-Tensioned Bandsaw
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 10 lety
I'm an engineer by trade-when a woodworking machine needs help, I often modify it to make it better. Perhaps I've gone over the edge in upgrading my bandsaw, though. You be the judge. On my modified machine, a piston driven up or down by compressed air gradually raises or lowers the bandsaw's upper wheel. The piston is housed in an air cylinder-a device commonly used in industry-and is driven b...
The Flutter Test

If your bandsaw blade wanders, it may not have enough tension. Here's a quick way to properly adjust tension without using the scale on your saw.
Flip-Top Mortiser Cabinet
zhlédnutí 49KPřed 10 lety
When I make mortises, my benchtop mortiser is the go-to tool because it's fast and accurate. I used to store the mortiser out of the way, underneath a counter. To use it, I had to crawl under the counter, drag out the machine, then lift it onto my bench. That's way too much work! To save my back, I designed a flip-top cabinet that supports the mortiser and stores the machine inside. This cabine...

Master turner Alan Lacer demonstrates how to sharpen and use a detail/spindle gouge. This tool is the best choice for cutting coves (concave shapes), rolling beads (convex shapes) and shaping ogees (a combination of concave and convex curves).
The Elliptical Router Jig

This ingenious device takes you beyond the circle. It's based on an old design, but this version is easy to build and works with an ultra-smooth action. Using a simple micro-adjust feature, it produces a perfectly smooth edge.

Drill Press Mortising
zhlédnutí 712KPřed 10 lety
A dedicated mortising machine is a real luxury, but did you know that a drill press can make mortises just as well? You just need to add a special attachment that holds hollow chisels. Here are some important things to know about using and setting up these attachments that aren't covered in their instructions.
Joint and Thickness-Plane with a Router
zhlédnutí 262KPřed 10 lety
Here's a solution for stock that's impossible or unwise to mill using your jointer and planer, such as an end-grain cutting board. All you have to do is build a simple jig that lets you slide your router back and forth above the stock. It's just like having a CNC machine-without the CNC!
Making the Enigma Cube

"How does it come apart?" You'll be asked this question each time you hand one of these cubes to a friend. You'll answer, "Well, you just hold it like this, then pull." Your ability to read wood grain will help you to quickly identify which sides to grab. Your friend will be mystified. That's just one of the small pleasures in making these airy nothings. They really don't have a purpose other t...
Secrets of the Spill Plane

What's a spill plane? Well, it's a little-known specialty plane that creates a shaving-called a spill-that's tightly curled and tapered to a point. In the days before matches and lighters, a spill was used to take a flame from the fireplace to light candles, lamps and pipes. (A typical spill will burn for more than a minute.) During this video, you'll learn how a spill plane works and how to se...

    Impressive video. One thing I add as a difference, perhaps belt and suspenders. I make sure to use the biscuit cutter (or other guide tools) on the same side (up or down) on all the boards. This is extra insurance that I need not be certain my biscuits (etc.) are centered top to bottom. Again, as implied here, the purpose of tongues/grooves, biscuits, dowels, or dominoes, is alignment, not strength. Today's glues are so effective, these other measures add nothing to strength or longevity. Where would we see this happen most? Flooring. Narrow boards, many of them, no time to fiddle with multiple additions of one board to the larger board, and let's make sure it is flat, as flat as float glass if possible. Maybe this is not so true for those who use older (think purist) glues, such as hide glue or rabbit skin glue.

    I'm used to larger, corded routers czcams.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

    We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives czcams.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

    I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great czcams.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.
