Re: Latest My Growth Rings installment
Ok, I tried to watch the video of Scott with John and I just couldn't get past the first 5 minutes of it. The background music was very distracting and took away from the discussion, which I have to assume John did on purpose because he didn't want to make this video. He seemed very domineering and...

Re: Woodpeckers Sharpening Jig
If you purchased it from woodpecker they should have records that prove it is new. However if you bought it from someone else I can see them not wanting to do anything. They may have sold it a defective at a discount and then someone sold it to you at full price. It could have been already replaced ...

Re: I'm an idiot
Last time I moved was in 1979, after that experience I decided I did not have a reason sufficient to ever make me move again. The only blessing in the 1979 move was it was after our house burnt to the ground in 1976 so we really did not have much to move although you would be surprised to see how mu...

Re: Mystery Spring
Note - Tom has posted his final video in the Woodshop Nerdery series. :( David, I wasn't even aware that Tom had stopped. I went and watched his final video explaining his reason for quitting. On a similar topic, for me it seems like most small to medium size woodworking channels have either slowed...

Re: Woodworking apron
Aprons are a bother, but they keep wives happy because they don't have to get glue out of clothes. But aprons are hot, can snag,are another step you have to make. I find aprons are great I buy one wear the heck out of the first week or so and then hang it up and never wear it again.

Re: shop built crosscut sled for ShopSmith
I watched a YouTube discussion on crosscut sleds. What I learned keep it light, keep it a reasonable size that you store easy, make is accessible so you use it. They made on about 12x18 out of 1/2 inch Baltic ply, used a steel miter bar (taken from old miter gauge) and put only the back fence on it ...

Re: Question why do you want to know the RPM of your Headstock
I have no issue with any one wanting to know the exact speed to set the dial but the tool / blades and or bits will let you know its boundaries and limits pretty quick . if the tools / blades and bits are not sharp the speed setting is out the window when it comes to quality . jmo Even with sharp b...

Question why do you want to know the RPM of your Headstock
There have been many questions and comments about Headstock RPM. Why? I have owned my SS for 40 years and I never have known or cared to know the actual RPM of my headstock. In fact I own many variable speed tools and on none of them is the actual RPM displayed or known to me and and it has never ca...

Re: Did you see the ChopSmith?
I loved the video. It showed normal life in a shop when things do not always go like planned.
