    Stack and drill the holes to the exact size. Stack the first two then using the top one again, stack one or two more, drill, repeat. Anyway, that’s how I would do it.

    I wonder what powers it?

    I met you there! And bought a genuine Iggy made puzzle!

    I found this pattern in an old Wood Magazine. It is done in 1/4”. Around 18 different pieces. Not perfect, but I still think it’s cool!

    I tell my students, First, pause to let the wood catch up to the blade. Back up just enough so the teeth are going to be in the proper position. Now lean on the side and go.

    The hockey stick is caused when the set screw and the thumb screw don’t meet in the center of your blade clamp. Because it is the bottom clamp, I usually sit on the floor so I can see. Back out the thumb screw and see where the set screw is, then just adjusting until centered. The only hard part about this is getting back up off the floor. Can’t help with the noise.

    You pay for the magazine that includes the pattern. Your use only. Not to be shared. The same as a pattern designer.

    How do you even know that?

    They’re marked!? I just slide my finger down the teeth. Pretend I’m a fireman going down the pole. If I’m a happy fireman it’s right side up!

    I buy mine at a woodwork shop. Woodcraft, Klingspor’s etc.

    It seems it would be too much. I use a small brush and I don’t worry about getting every single spot covered. ?

    Cherry is the wood to use. Check woodworking stores for dowels.

    I have done it. I don’t clamp it. I get it wet, not soaked. Sometimes I will set it outside and let the NC heat and humidity work. I put something on it. I don’t want it to break, so nothing super heavy, just pressure.

    OH somebody HAD to mention routers....I do have a few of those.

    I think that those that sell their work have a second saw in case the first one stops working. When I buy a better saw I sell my old one. I started with a Craftsman then had a Dremel, next was the Dewalt and now the Excalibur. Only keep one. Always sold the old one.

    And reach. I had to let go. A bad situation. I can also remove the blade guard and keep the anti kickback pawls on.

    I have the SawStop jobsite saw. I get quality cuts. It is not large and can be mobile. I also have 8 fingers and 2 thumbs. My contractor saw scared me. I would get kickback. Now I have better control because it is a bit smaller.

    Do check YouTube. There is a large difference between a block plane and a bench plane. The sharper the better. And only reveal a very small portion of the blade (iron).

    Cancel the card. Because you know of the problem, you contacted the card company, they might give you grief if you now try to correct a mysterious $15,000 problem.!

    I used a Forstner Bit to drill a hole for a clock without a drill press once. Cost me 8 stitches in my right hand. Don’t do that!
  22. Roberta Moreton
    I may be late to the thread but, do you plug in your portable planer? Is it a hand plane?
  23. Roberta Moreton
    I have seen the Seyco drill in action and I believe it is much easier to use than the Dremel with plunge attachment

    I once did a test, I was cutting a piece of cherry and it was smoking. Without removing the piece I just added a piece of packing tape to the top of the area I haven’t started to cut and continued on with my cut. Nothing else burned. To me that was proof enough. I also always use the clamp for holding compound cuts.

    Mouse? I ain’t got no mouse!
