    Apple chunks avail for PU in SE MI if anyone's interested

    A smallish apple tree got cut down in my yard todaY. I've laid claim to a few flatsawn slabs and 2 round logs for cutting later into quartersawn wood. I dont think the rest is all that usable for flat wood but if there are any local turners that would like some of the other pieces, I could set...

    OT New Tool Gloat

    Thought I'd post some eye candy pics for the guitarists here of a fleabay purchase that showed up today. This is an Epiphone Sheraton II in mint condition in Alpine White that's no longer available. I've been wanting one of these since playing and ogling one in a music store back in the 80's...

    FS: Powermatic mobile base for PM66 with 30" fence - SE MI **SOLD **

    Inside dimensions are 23-5/8" (side with the swivel wheel) x 21-11/16" Could be used with something other that a PM66. Dont know what the weight rating is but would guesstimate the saw around 600-700 Lb This might be Powermatic model #2042372 but I'm not sure. I like this base better than the...

    Big kid Crackerjack

    I just cut the top off some boxes and there was a prize in every box:D I started these straight edge cases before the holidays and pulled some boards from the No-Kill Wood Shelter. The long one is a piece of macacauba and the short one leftover purpleheart from my bench build. After...

    FWW on IE7

    I've never particularly cared for the way pics are displayed in a new window on this site but prefer the way SMC's vBulletin implementation does it in the same window. Now I've got a new laptop which has IE7 on it and I'm finding this even more annoying. When a new tab gets created it goes on...

    So close and yet so far...(Moak)

    Not mine, but apparently right around the corner. Too bad it wont fit in my space, budget, or fuse box. Sure is purty though. http://detroit.craigslist.org/tls/964612391.html

    Sketchup Baltic Birch Ply Material?

    I tried searching the 3d warehouse stuff but cant find anything. Is there a realistic looking plywood material available? I realize I'd probably have to paint the edges with one material and the faces with another but the available choices that come with SU dont really look like plywood to me...

    How do you create polls??

    Is there a How-To thread for creating polls that I haven't found yet? I've found a number of test poll threads but none have a description of how they were created. I see the check box when creating a thread for specifying the number of poll options but where and how do you actually create the...

    FS: Incra Jig/Fence Package - SE MI

    Selling off Incra Router paraphenalia that I've had for roughly 15 years. I got a Woodrat a while back and dont have the room (or need) for both. I have the original boxes stashed in the attic and can ship for actual UPS costs but would rather sell local so I dont have to spend time...

    FS: Makita BO4552K 1/4 Sheet Sander - **SOLD **

    Got this not too long before I ended up taking the Festool plunge and cant recall if I ever ended up using it. If so, it was only on one project. In the interest of freeing up a little storage space I decided to sell it. Would like to get $45 which includes US shipping. Here's the Makita info...

    Woodworks Show Novi, MI Nov 21-23 - Who's going?

    The woodworking shows have been getting increasingly lame hereabouts and I haven't been to one in probably 5-6 years. I was looking at this years offering as far as the schedule and while I still cant find a list of vendors, the presenters list has taken a turn for the better compared to what...

    My Small Parts Trap fix for DC

    I've been doing some fret saw and filing work on abalone (pretty nasty stuff) at the drill press table so I can take advantage of the DC there. So after about 15 minutes of work on one of the pieces I bobbled it and watched it go sailing merrily up the DC intake:eek: Grrrr. So this morning I hit...

    Anybody know what a Fray #66 Ratcheting Bit Brace is worth??

    My dad is getting rid of some old tools and fished this out from somewhere. There's just enough writing left that I'm pretty sure this is a #66 Fray shown here http://www.sydnassloot.com/Brace/Fray2.htm His is in need of a cleaning/degreasing but all the moving parts work smoothly and the bits...

    Auger Bit Question

    BCTW has some auger bits on clearance sale. Are these a good deal? http://www.bridgecitytools.com/Categories/Clearance They look a bit different between the flutes to all the ones I've seen but can be used in a regular chuck rather than a brace. The price looks pretty good when I compare to the...

    Bench Update

    Well like everything I start, this took 5 times longer than I estimated to complete but it's finally done (well 99% anyway). First I'd like to thank everybody who helped answer questions I had along the way with this. I'm tempted to list them, but I just know I'd forget and insult somebody, so...
