My kitchen cabinets have these old style slides, and they're all a bit hincky:

   
   
   

If I want to replace them with Accurides, I assume I'll need to add a piece of ply from the front to back to affix the slide?  
What's the best way to position the slide on the drawer and frame to get the drawer front to line up correctly?  The drawer front is the front piece of the box -- not a separate piece screwed in place.
Maybe it's not as daunting as I think, but I'm guessing I'd get it off by 1/4" or so, and the drawer wont fit.

Would it be easier to just build new drawers?

If you have been putting off segmented turning because making a Wedgie sled with those curved slots was more trouble than it was worth, look at this one.

A piece of scrap MDF, a miter slot bar made any way you care to, and a couple feet of Tee track are all you need. Both rabbets for the tee tracks and the slots in the fences are straight. You could even get by with one hole and one slot in each fence if cutting two slots is too much work. It really can't get much simpler.

Set it with a cheap drafting triangle from the mart of walls and you're in business for 12-segment rings.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this question, but is is possible to post a photo from an iPhone?  I've tried a bunch of times, but can't seem to do it.
If it is, I'd love a quick tutorial.

Thanks in advance.

I decided I need to build a rustic cedar bench and I'm going to need to cut round tenons on the legs. Before I go to an on-line retail site, I thought I'd ask here if anyone has one they want to sell. I looked at Lee Valley but it's more than I want to spend. That said, if I can't find one I'll probably buy one of theirs. It doesn't have to be 1", but it's for bench legs so I want something fairly stout. I don't know anything about these, so I'm also open to advice on what to buy (or not buy) and where, etc. Thanks.

I have a Jet 10 inch Xacta cabinet saw where the motor is toast, according to my electrician son.
OEM is serious $$....more than I paid for the saw 20 years ago - $600.
I've looked at Grainger, Grizzly, and various other sites. The cheapest I've found is just under $500. Ideas? Has any one had to go down this road lately?

An awesome dust collector for a home workshop - 800 CFM of suction. Shop Fox 1 HP - Powerful enough to handle a tablesaw, jointer, or planer. Single phase for standard household outlet.

It is has been in use in my shop for many years and it works flawlessly. I have upgraded my DC and now have this available well below retail. Retail price $300
Cash only sale - $150

I cannot figure out how to post the pic. If you are interested send me a pm and we can exchange emails. Sorry for the inconvenience.

ALL PLANES HAVE BEEN SOLD


Update: I have decided to lower the prices on these planes: prices now listed are 66% of retail price

I recently acquired a substantial collection of HNT Gordon planes. These are absolutely beautiful planes made in Australia of Australian Gidgee and brass by the master plane maker Terry Gordon. These planes are in new/unused condition and come with the original boxes and packaging (some are even packaged with bits of Australian newspaper!). These rarely come up for sale, and almost never come up for sale in new/unused condition. I am offering these planes at roughly 66% of the retail price, plus shipping. PayPal goods/services preferred. If you are interested, please include you zip code in your private message so I can come up with shipping quote.

...than make the 'butcher block' top for this little kitchen work table Jean wanted.  I bought some countertop from IKEA 20 years ago that was beech and reasonably affordable.   Don't see the beech anymore, and I'd be in for well over $300 for the two pieces of bamboo mock up I'd need... and I'd still have to cut and work it.   So off the lumberyard I go for some beech or birch or maple... which ever is cheapest today.  And a couple bottles of Titebond Ultimate.  Figure I'll be all in from prolly $150 and a few hours of retiree time.  


   

Clean, complete Hammond Glider G40B sliding table Trim-O-Saw. $500.



These are fantastic, beefy little machines. Sliding table with 24" crosscut capacity. The can be modified to take standard woodworking blades. I know of no other saw like them. Small footprint, amazing crosscut capacity, super stable and quiet.



I love these saws so much, I got an older one. It's slightly heavier yet!

Modified arbor for standard woodworking blades

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7sNERjTvL/...=copy_link



Bob Vaughan wrote a very nice article on these saws in Fine Woodworking a few years ago. Here's his log of modifications to his personal saw

http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/415/29988.pdf



The miter finger moves freely. And the bronze half nut is in good shape.



Arbor runs true and smoothly. 



1hp 1730rpm 3 Phase motor currently wired for 220v. Runs very nicely. If you don't have 3phase power, I can fit with a VFD or single phase motor - talk to me for price.



The table has a nice patina and is just that. No rust pitting. If you prefer the shiny look, it should be a quick cleanup with WD-40 and a razor. Again, I'm willing to do the cleanup if you pay me.



The only issues I know of are

• blade guard is broken. It's a clean break, and should be very repairable.
  
• belt guard is missing - I can supply measurements if you want to make one
  
• grinding wheel nut is missing - again, happy to provide measurements
  

I picked this up at an estate sale.  Nothing of significance for  tools-the others didn't give a hint for this one.  Blade is 4 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/8" thick.  Flat portion is smooth, but the edges are concave and have teeth like a file.   I have big money invested in this ($2.00) so I hope it is valuable.  At worse case I can reuse the handle.  I wasn't even going to purchase it, but the curiosity got the best of me.  That style of handle looks familiar to me.

Does anybody know what it is used for or take a guess?

Thanks
