Re: It's impossible to cheat at woodworking

I agree. There are in reality only two tools used to work wood, a sharp edge and a striker. All the rest are jigs. As an example, sandpaper is lots of sharp edges glued to a peice of paper.

Re: Semi-Permanent Bench Grinder Mount

I have a drill powered mini lathe that is mounted to a board. The board is drilled so that I can bolt the setup to my bench through the dogholes in my workbench. It works well.

Re: Neckties and Tablesaws Just Don't Mix

To tell the truth, I would like to see a non destructive blade stopping technology like the Wirlwind system coupled with the sensing technology of the Saw Stop. I believe that the market would jump on that.

Re: FWW Essential workbench

Two ways I know of.

1. Make a thick bottomed drawer and carve out the tool shapes. This is the hard way.

2. Make a suitable insert that fits in the drawer. Cut out the tool shapes with a coping saw or a scroll saw. Smooth, glue in, line with felt or leather. This is the easy way.
