I'm wanting to pick up a couple of bow saws and thought I'd ask what to look for and advantages/disadvantages of various systems (threaded rod vs. cord tensioning).

I'm in the market for some nice dovetail and crosscut saws (think tenons). I'm open to anything, including big bow saws like Klausz (holy cow, what's with that bent blade he uses in that 3 minute dovetail video? WOW). Right now I'm j...

They were doing a pen turning and eagle head carving event today for the troops. My wife turned two pens. I turned three. We were ridiculously happy how all 5 pens turned out and were quite proud of them.

I have the push stick with the ruler and magnet built in. Many people will buy this because it is much thinner than other push shoes out there. Beware: if you're using it to rip thin stock, pop out the magnet. I'm in the habit of do...

So my wife's laptop has a problem with the ribbon cable that goes to the LCD screen. I know this because I took it apart and it's the cable. I really didn't want to go through the trouble of replacing it myse...

For kicks, I decided to measure the snipe on my JP12 joiner/planer combo. The way I measured is I slid the board along my table saw bed and used a dial indicator to measure the deviation from one end of the board to the other. Then I ...

Any one still using hide glue? I'm not talking about that awful liquid hide glue stuff. I'm talking about real hide glue in a glue pot. I hate all the "setup" getting everything going, but once it's going, I always really l...
