Re: How to Cut Tenons on the Bandsaw

I still love the band saw for tenons - But, you will never get a CONSISTANT tight fit using this technique. As a prior message noted the wood would have to be exactly the same width, which when measuring thousands, it usually is not. Tenon fit does depend on thousands measurements. An alternative technique is to spend the time to make a spacer board equal to the width of the tenon and the kerf. Using this the tenon can be cut using the reference surface of the piece against the fence for one cut then the second cut with the reference surface against the spacer (and fence).

Re: Fine Woodworking and the iPad

Perhaps this discussion should consider the security issues with Flash. This program represents a portal for hackers that I’d much rather not provide. Interesting that Adobe, although not acknowledging the well known vulnerability, has been frequently upgrading recently because of “critical” issues. This behavior seemed to start about the time Jobs made the decision not to support Flash and made negative comments about its security issues. Let’s move on. There is no reason why one company should control video transmission on the Web. Flash is a proprietary protocol. HTML5 is open source. The way the Web should be!

Re: Fine Woodworking Magazine Goes Digital

Nice job! You’re headed in the right direction.

I liked using the viewer. Two suggestions: 1- make the dialog at the top of the magnified view disappear after a bit. I found it to be in the way. 2- It appears that there is a problem if I wish to print an article. Do I really have to print a page or 2 at a time. Am I missing something. How would I select a range of pages? Also note when going to paper view the view was very pixilated. I guess that’s a temporary bug.

Now if you can just fix the loss of log-in info. I hate having to repeatedly log in.

So, oscillating spindle sanders are not a new concept - that was news to me.
