  Anybody use Titebond Melamine glue instead of Roo Glue? Half the cost
Posted by: Alaric - 07-18-2015, 03:52 PM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (3)

Your Amazon link says Titebond is $12.98 delivered, and Roo Glue is $13.58 delivered...

I'd worry about your math skills before I'd worry about a comparison if I were you...

  Anybody else have this problem with wixey stuff?
Posted by: Woodjets - 07-18-2015, 12:46 PM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (14)

Not sure if it is a Wixey problem or a digital indicator problem. I have a digital caliper and a digital height stand. I have to remove the batteries from both or the next time I reach for them, the battery will be dead. Neither are Wixey as far as I know.

Sorry, I can't help with the maker but it looks to be hand stitched! If sharp you made a nice find!

  turning a leg for a big coffee table?
Posted by: overland - 07-18-2015, 07:41 AM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (6)

You can use a round tenon. Typically you would use a dividers or a simple gauge and turn the tenon until the dividers/gauge just slip over the tenon. Remove a little bit of wood at a time until it fits. Some folks will use an open end wrench as a gauge. Or you could make one from a scrap of plywood with a notch of the correct width cut in it.

  Western Red Cedar or White Oak for trellis?

Can't help with the pricing - but I'd guess cedar will outlast oak given our weather.

  Which 'netter had
Posted by: highpi - 07-18-2015, 01:11 AM - Forum: Woodworking - Replies (2)

I remember seeing one that had the shade, but it was to keep protect the cabinet from the lathe spray/chips. I do think that may have been in Woodturning, so may not be the one you referenced...don't remember who had it.

I guess I'm on my own here. Hopefully, it all works out. I'll document my progress in case anyone else out there attempts the same.

  Ridgid tablesaw dust collection
Posted by: Roger A - 07-17-2015, 07:47 PM - Forum: Woodworking Power Tools - Replies (1)

I attached a short piece of 2-1/2" hose and put a 2-1/2" to 4" adapter on the end of it. I hook up my 4" dust collector hose to that. It works well. I still have some dust in the floor under the saw, but it gets the majority of it.

What you see in the floor is probably 6-8 months worth of dust.

  Adjusting a vintage infill
Posted by: JimBelair - 07-17-2015, 05:15 PM - Forum: Woodworking Hand Tools - Replies (5)

Jim, I have a number of infills, some with adjusters, most without. I don't try to hit anything to back out the iron, I loosen the clamp, then back out the iron with my hand, then slowly move it forward with taps from a brass hammer. If I go too far, I repeat the process. I have a few I bought with front bun problems, one was cracked, one was worn down a lot, and one had ridges, all clearly from being hit - so that kept me away from hitting the front bun. Some say that infills with adjusters have no real advantage over ones without, I say try to back out the iron a few thousands a few times, and see if you don't prefer the adjusters. I do have one plane without an adjuster that I made a snecked iron for - it is pretty easy to do, and that allows you to use a hammer to retract the iron slightly. BTW, I haven't seen one with a cracked body from using a hammer to adjust it, but if you hit the front bun or the rear handle with a hammer, or even a wooden mallet, I think that can end poorly over time. Hope you enjoy your infills, I love mine.
