Re: Blade brake inventor aims to compete with SawStop

It appears to me that the blade is stopped by making contact with the blade guard. This keeps your flesh away from the blade spinning blade and since it detects your flesh before getting to the blade it makes no difference if the blade travels approx 400 teeth before coming to a complete stop. A person would have to make an extra effort to get their pinkies into the blade with this system. I like the idea of the blade stopping without having to touch the blade....

Re: New Yankee Workshop Series Ends

This is truly sad news to me. I have watched this show for as long as I can remember and always looked forward to a new episode. I have learned a lot from watching Norm over the years....He will be missed.

Re: Call for Submissions: Get design help from Fine Woodworking and Hank Gilpin

Anyone that has made a business of designing and building unique pieces of turniture is definitely far more of an expert than most of us. I have submitted my most difficult project for critique and welcome any comment. Most preferable the negative comments as tney will provide the type of information I need to become a better furniture maker.

Re: Walnut Writing Desk in the Federal Style

Having seen this table in person at the Texas Furniture Makers show it is truly a piece of art. The photos do not really show the beauty of the fine detailed work that went into making it. This is only one example of the work that Frank and others do at the CFEE School of Woodworking.

Re: Craftsman Style Rocking Chair

I have only attended the foundational course. I built the chair by using the book written by Paul.
