Shop Layout
Tried the shop layout tool--a bit slow and cumbersome but this is where I got to.
Cherry Screwdriver
I made this screwdriver from an off-cut from some 2x2 cherry table legs. I turned the cherry block on my drill press using the hanger bolt adapter shown. The ferule is a plumbing part I found and the...

posted: 11:12 am on September 6thRe: The Biggest Lathe We've Ever Seen
I know this lathe is a joke but there are some really big lathes, like the one at Mystic Seaport for turning ships masts and spars. This lathe must be over 50 long and can turn a log several feet across.

As I recall the drive for the lathe includes an old automotive transmission. The cutter is advanced on a carriage that slides along the lathe ways more like a metal working lathe.

Good job Bob Taylor! And let's just leave politics out of the discussion please; this is woodworking and instrument-making after all.

posted: 12:57 pm on April 24thRe: Stephen Colbert Takes the Sizzle Out of SawStop
The problem isn't SawStop per se, it is the royalties that Mr. Gass wants us all to pay for the SawStop technology. Right now, with his over-broad patents in force, there is no way to build any technology like this into any saw without paying Mr Gass the fortune that he is apparently asking for.
posted: 5:19 pm on February 17thIf Gass really wants to help people, he should license his patents for $1.00. As it stands now, I think he is using the government to try to force a deal that he could not negotiate.
Let's call a spade a spade: this is a commercial issue and not a safety issue.

Re: Fine Woodworking Magazine Goes Digital
I would prefer PDF's (like some of your competitors do). The new format is not really very easy to navigate, nor is it portable to. PDF solves both problems.

Really, couldn't fit that drawer too soon.
I can't imagine a fit that's better.

Re: A Brand New Bench Video!
I agree with the other comments that workbench design, and Roubo-style workbenches in particular, have been thoroughly explored in my "other favorite" woodworking magazine. It would be nice to see FWW cover other, less well plowed territory.

I would love to have this book! It looks great!
posted: 12:21 pm on February 23rdRe: iPad and Woodworking?
I remember getting the early black and white FWW issues and the B&W only Kindle seems like a step back in time that would not be good.
posted: 12:10 pm on January 29thI like the PDFs FWW puts here now--they work fine on my iPod touch.
I wish this site would move from Flash based video to HTML5 or other iPod/iPhone-friendly movie, but flash works great on the desktop. It has always seemed funny to me that FWW seems worried about copying videos and so uses Flash, but nicely has PDFs here for the magazine content.
Having a small screen optimized (iPhone/iPod etc) mobile version of the site would be great too! I know others are doing this!
Re: UPDATE: Book Giveaway: Make Your Own Walking Sticks by Charles Self
This book looks like a good one! I would love to be able to make sticks like these.

The Lie-Nielsen stuff is great! Tom L-N has been a great friend to the woodworking world by making it possible to keep the hand-tool tradition alive and prospering. With L-N, would you have had a tablesaw vs handsaw tenon shoot out?

Re: UPDATED: What Tools Are on Your Holiday Wish List?
I am going to the Lie-Nielsen mini-show outside of Boston this weekend to look at the inlay tools.
posted: 5:12 pm on December 2ndOne thing already in Santa's bag is a new chopsaw, but I am still figuring out which chopsaw blade to buy. Forrest is great but $$$, so Freud looks like the value winner so far.
