[twhite]

You have machines and tools in the bedroom? Dave, get a grip.. If your filling up your bedroom as well as the garage and basement of multiple houses... You need an intervention...

Hey guys, we need to get over to Dave's house (one of them ) and relieve him of his hoarding...

Road trip!


Cutting oil is my blood.

Jeff , getting ready to move a lot of tools and a lot of $$$$$ . The members who have been here can vouch for the tooling . It's 48 years of mine and 3 generations of accumulation . It's just time to move forward .

Yep. I made a dent in his stash. It was probably insignificant to him but awesome for me!

Space wise maybe insignificant at this point , but everything helps the cause .

Forgive me, more wood stuff.
Someone wants a rustic table, live edge crap, who am I to judge.
Had a couple of 28 inch wide boards, but no one in the area has 30 inch planner. Ive ripped wide stock before, planed it and joined it back together with the joint virtually invisible. But how do you clamp on a live edge?
So I ordered a set of linear bearings and tracks from Vevor, Chinese but for this it worked great. Made a cross piece to hold the router and used a 2 1/2 inch facing cutter. Advertised as a spoil board resurfacer.
Was surprised at the finish it left. A touch up with the orbital sander is all it needs. Actually worked better than a surface planer, there was a slight cup in the board, the pressure rollers on a planner would have flexed it and let it spring back. This perfectly levelled the board.

Face as off the sawmill. White pine.




After the first couple of light passes.



Leveled out.

Greg, how big was the spoil board cutter?

Saw it on sale and gave it a try, thought it was 2 1/2 but its 2 inch dia.

Nice, everything. No need for forgiveness. I like to see your woodworking projects.

I'm curious about the details of the clamps shown. Best I can guess from the pictures is a biscuit joiner slot in the workpiece and the clamp is one piece (or two wedges?) just screwed down to the table. Maybe double ended or something else going on that I haven't figured out. Please 'splain.

Nothing big today. I re-felted my Geo Scherr tool box.

Cutting oil is my blood.

Dang, that blue looks nice. I bet that felt good!

Thanks,
You're correct on the clamps, a biscuit slot seamed the easiest to make. The double tenon gave me two chances to get the thickness and offset right. lol
