Re: Jigs and Fixtures
Wow Larry, you have so much stuff going on there that I'm still trying to sort it all out! I have no hands-on experience with a Mk V 500, which no doubt is a handicap. I think I've figured out what's going on with the long fence facings on the aux tables. By using the tops of them as runners for you...

Re: Adding indexer to Shorty for bowl inlay work
Sweet! I’d love to be a fly on the wall when your sister sees it!
The wood is sycamore?
I believe you said that you sand the inlaid stone flat/smooth. Any particular type of sandpaper? Sounds like a job for ceramic.

Re: Adding indexer to Shorty for bowl inlay work
Fantastic work, Mike! Mounting a dividing head on a Shopsmith is truly thinking outside of the box. And the bowl is absolutely stunning. What's the inlay material? My first guess was some sort of crushed stone cast in epoxy, but on second thought I doubt that you'd want to be machining stone. Whatev...

Re: Changes For Woodcraft Online Login/Checkout Procedures
Shopify is completely legit — I use it for my ecommerce website toolquest.net. FWIW, it’s unlikely that even Woodcraft had access to your credit card data on their old website. Although invisible to you, payment transactions are usually processed by large third-party transaction processors, which pr...

Re: Large sheet material
There's another consideration, aside from struggling with unwieldy sheets. When breaking down sheet goods on a table saw, even assuming that you can keep the edges of the sheets perfectly tight against the fence for the entire cut, you still have to be sure that at least one factory edge is straight...

Re: Three-leg high chair / stool
I love the understructure — that’s a nice design and some fine craftsmanship. Making one of these has been on my bucket list for a while, and my workshop is currently stool-less. But my scrawny butt craves a carved seat bottom. The closer to a tractor seat, the better. Perhaps Roy Underhill would lo...

Re: Mark VII Motor Hums in Reverse
I’d be very cautious about using graphite powder inside of a switch. The stuff is both conductive and combustible, so you don’t want it anywhere that it could cause a short-circuit between conductors. Teflon spray would be much safer. But as teflon is an excellent insulator, you wouldn’t want to get...
