Details: Hits: 2681

This is one jig that took me much less time than I expected and turned out one of the most useful tool adaptions I have made ... turning my angle grinder into a mini chop saw for cutting off little metal parts, like ready-rod, bolts and so on, for all the woodworking jigs I am making.

It's not that my angle grinder doesn't do a good job on its own, but it would be nice to have something that worked like a small saw, and this jig turned out to be very easy to make ...

For most woodworkers, the Reverse Glue Joint Router Bit is not one of the more common wood router bits ... in fact, few even know about it. For cabinet makers, this is one their more common router bits and in some shops, there are router tables dedicated to this bit because it is used so often. The setting up of this bit can challenge your patience, but once set will give quality joinery to your project.

Table Saw Jigs to Align a Crappy Table Saw Fence / Table Saw Fence Alignment

One of the things I have learned in woodworking is that a good fence on a table saw is everything. I spent many, many years with 2 previous table saws both of which had terrible fences before I finally invested in a table saw with a good fence. When I went looking for a table saw that was the FIRST thing I looked at was the quality of the fence and how easy it was to set and how well it kept it's setting on the saw. For me - there is nothing in woodworking that is more frustrating than having a table saw fence that needs to re-set on the front and back and often re-re-set for every cut.

What having poor fences taught me a couple of tricks for setting them up more quickly and accurately than using a tape measure every time and these 2 quick and easy jigs are what I used many years ago, and maybe will help others with their table saw fences that have lost their accuracy.

This time I am back at the drill press, showing some very cool tricks with Hole Saws, and at the same time, making an upside-down holding stand for my Epoxy Glue Bottles, because after they get half empty, it takes - forever- for the glue to run down to the nozzle so I can mix them together ..

Starting off with hole saws, these are great tools, they make excellent quality holes and come in a wide variety of sizes but they can take a LOT of effort to push them into some woods, but here's an easy way to use them ...

Milling Wood Using a Bandsaw - Logs to Live Edge Lumber

There are few things in woodworking that I enjoy more than milling wood ... every new cut is like opening a Birthday Present because you just never know what is going to be inside. I even remember the first time I was part of our Woodworking Guild - Milling Crew, and what it was like to watch the saw come through the log and slice off a plank, which we then had to take over to the stacking and drying pile, and what a joy it was to turn over that log to see what the grain looked like inside.

For me, this process never gets old, and when I talk to many people who have their own mills, they experience the same thoughts when they are milling wood, especially when they get logs that appear on the outside to be something special ... sometimes they are figured or spalted wood, other times they are just regular, good quality wood.
