New on Our Blog: Setting Up Factory Blade Guard Systems (Editor's Note: Join us every day for new posts from the web's best woodworkers. You can check out our past content on our new blog page.) When set up properly, factory blade guards are easy to use and offer another level of protection for the operator. Frustration with factory table saw blade guards is uncomfortably common today. Unfortunately, new woodworkers hear or read misleading remarks labeling factory blade guards as "dangerous" or "worthless" and some within another generation of woodworkers take potentially debilitating chances in a hobby meant to be fun. Making sure that the splitter/riving knife itself is flat is important. Naturally, the truth about factory blade guard / splitter assemblies lies somewhere closer to the middle of the road. Splitter/Riving Knife Setup The splitter/riving knife must be centered on the blade, not "cheated" to one side or the other. First, be sure that the splitter/riving knife is flat.

Why Pay? 24/7 Free Access to Free Woodworking Plans and Projects WoodNet.net - The Woodworker's Online Resource Grainger Industrial Supply - MRO Supplies, MRO Equipment, Tools & Solutions Paul Schurch Woodwork, veneer, marquetry, furniture, seminars, tools, supplies The 2014 classes of Advanced Veneering and Marquetry are intensive five-day workshop seminars held in my shop here in Santa Barbara, CA. They include project-oriented studies of decorative veneering, inlay and marquetry techniques, which I currently use in creating fine furniture. These classes are limited to 6 students, which allows for much personal attention to be given to each student, who will create and complete at least two take-home projects. The prerequisite for the Advanced Class is either to have attended a one-week Basic Veneering class, or to have attended a one-day seminar and have good experience working with veneer in the past. You are also eligible if you own some type of a veneer press, and have completed at least two decorative panels that are shown in my video and book 'Decorative Veneering'. For these classes, we will cover all aspects of inlay and design and have access to detailed information, from the planning stages of a project to the finished product.

Woodworking Plans Jointing glue-ups I have glued some pine 1x4 and 2x4 pieces together to make a 3x4 block using Elmer's wood glue. Can I joint the glued edge or will the jointer melt the glue and gum up my jointer blades? Author: ldjafrey Posted: 12-22-2014 "Celebrating" Maple - A bunch of pics... It's funny.... sometimes you get a "flury" of orders all of the same species.... and in this case, I pretty much got orders for most of the maples.... Author: Ed S. bugs in old wood I just finished a cabinet from old wormy white oak that had been in a pile at least 15 years.......After I brought it in the house, I'm finding "sawdust" piles inside, so I'm assuming the worms are still there!
