Ok, I seem to always be the lone voice in the wilderness. I cut bevels often for coopered staves to make round turning blanks. (Some may remember the birdhouses I posted). Maybe I've been lucky, but I don't use the upper guard. I do use a push block that is just a piece of 2 x 4 with a sacraficial p...

My wife used to say that I wasn't a woodworker - I was a woodworking tool collector. She also said that what I made best was sawdust. Well, now that I'm retired, my lust for new tools has actually decreased and my project output has increased. Afterall, you can make fine furniture exclusively with h...

OK, I'll stop lurking on this one. I seem to be making a lot of bevel cuts on small boards these days for tambour roll tops and coopered bowls and birdhouses. The SS does just fine on this type of work. I occasionally need to bevel the edge of some sheet goods and I tend to go a circular saw with a ...

Over and under OPR
OK, I've got to ask. Nick talked about a future unit the would be the Cadiliac of router tables with the OPR on top and router underneath. I have something that SS once sold that I believe is the Cadiliac of which he speaketh. It was orginally sold as a pin router with a wooden table. SS later offer...

Chuck, I think I started the spelling confusion. Spell check changed my Cabriole to cabriolet, but I believe cabriole is the correct spelling. Interesting enough though, Merriam Webster doesn't recognize this as a word. I'm guessing because it's French. While we are at it, is it Queen Ann or Queen A...

Cabriole Leg Sawdust Session
If you're curious about the technique for making true cabriole legs, I'd be glad to cover it in a Sawdust Session -- it's actually pretty simple. I for one, would vote for a Sawdust Session on true cabriole legs. I've read many articles, but seeing them actually take shape is something different. (...

Zero Clearance & Dust Collection
Something I've been wondering... does a zero-clearance insert hinder or defeat dust collection? - Chris This is an interesting question. I haven't noticed any difference. It would seem that the sawdust would be trapped in the gullets of the blade until the gullet cleared the insert underneath the t...
