Count me in - Dougs box making videos made a fan

I would really like to have this book - like his videos and passion for woodworking - so include me in please.

trust me I need this help

I dont get this - how?


But the RA saw will also cut the mortise. Yes: it will. Deep as you want, as fast as you dare

(We have a NEW RA saw)

the J Paul Getty Link is . . . http://www.youtube.com/user/gettymuseum#p/search/0/EblnaLMjdNg

I have just started low relief wood-carving - and this would fit so well in my bookcase - right on the best (top) shelf.

This is the only way I will ever be able to afford that 60 foot bald headed ketch- methinks!!!

Look folks - my new thin strip cutting jig!!!

I would like to be convinced that I can & can afford to add turning to my repetoire so count me in

Thanks - I needed that

Sorry the link didn't work - try a search under . . . A Planer Sled for Milling Lumber - it came right up at the top of the list for me

deAngelo: The FW video addresses the issue of weight transfer - it is a real consideration - but as you watch him process a board you will see he has a practical, if hard work, solution for weighty wood transfers.

Jammersix: The 'rope' is a bungy cord not surgical tubing which I would think would be too weak for this task over the long term.

Dusty9: Modifying this article/video into plans should be very straightforward.

The excellent original article (and video) by Keith Rust from FWW: January, 2005 shows how, by mounting a warped board on this sled, you could pass it thro a thicknesser and have the overhead cutters plane a flat surface on the top surface of the board. By then removing the sled, turning the board over, and using the flattened surface to register the board as you pass it back through the thicknesser you get both a planer (FLAT SURFACE) and thicknesser (PARALLEL SURFACE) from one (quite pricey) tool instead of two. 12" planers are not cheap (enough) - yet.

The original is a great/practical jig. This variation is a real upgrade in so far as it allows you even more flexibility to secure the board from rocking. The careful placement of those cup hooks quite close to the crossbeams, the letting of the bungey cord into the beams to align them, and resting the beam ends against the opposing wedge are all simple elegant upgrades to better secure the wobbly board.

I now use the 15% sliding wedge design I saw on the original jig in almost all levelling tasks - I am cheap too!!!

The law of diminishing returns when using freaking out bannana bread wood that is too warped - it tends to keep on warping and the resulting boards get smaller and smaller - is now the real issue.

This jig is (imho) well worthy as a contender for a prize in this contest.

Cheers

Fabulous work, I am now going to take a long walk off a short pier . . .

Gregg,

I love everything about this piece; classic style, superb marquetry, humor and context - I would not be able to look at your 'to do' list for very long before I would have to repair that weave - I wish you well with your really novel entry.

Another freebie - when do I get my first delivery?

Gary ,

Go to your room - NOW

Damm you scared me

OH HOW I DO COVET THEE -

I truly believe WOOD is nature's WONDER material but I want more of the right information and understanding of its many inherent properties and best applications.

With this DVD set I would hope to become better at incorporating good design and engineering principles to better optimize woods many strengths and minimize its few weaknesses.

Count me in . . . a 'freebie' should never be insulted or ignored - it might go away and never come back!!!

Aaron,

You have increased the potential and imagination of every woodworker who is blessed enough to see what you have done here and shown that great craftsmanship is timeless and possible in every generation.

Aaron - Bloody Well Done - congrats. Superb in every way.

Now to the carps . . .

I genuinely agree with your 'reservations' about Ivory - but Aaron has done the available right thing to re-create 'exactly' what was done in the original. Please - enough on this distraction from excellence - counterpoint - the people of Paris were starving when this was being made why do you not rail against that too?

I would like to see much more of the how-to techniques that went into this project and I promise NOT to use Ivory.
