I am building a workbench where a yellow pine 2 by 4 will need to be screwed to a red oak 2 by 4. I have previously used a Jig to attach pine  2 by 4 lumber and I recall using a course screw because the wood is relatively soft. Do they make a fine screw for use on hardwoods like oak?

Thanks

Just thought id share.  Excuse the messy bench in the middle of a couple of projects.  I drew in solidworks and 3d printed this bench dog.  I also printed a small wedge to help open up the spring slot.  I was surprised how well it works.    Next time I need a bench dog I know what to do.

Hi all

Anyone with a set of unused/rarely used barr cabinetmaker chisels sitting around looking for a new home?

Let me know
Thanks

Making a Segmented hybrid vase with Cherry and Aluminite clear slow resin.

I have one of the dust filtration hoods that blows air through a filter and into a face mask and never really got used to using it, as its fairly bulky and gets in the way.

I have noticed a mask that Pask Makes uses on YouTube that has the filters behind the head, and it look promising for weight distribution, but still looks like it relies on your pulling air through it.

I just saw an air curtain type prototype that uses a hard hat and blows a curtain of air completely around the brim straight down to blow away everything besides filtered air.  It also looks promising but again bulky and I suspect you would entrain dust in the stream of air and it wouldn’t filter as well as other options.

As I fell asleep last night wearing my Cpap mask a Resmed air touch N30i nasal mask with the hose coming from the top, I wondered if you could get a Cpap blower motor, pull filtered air and mount it along with a battery either in a belt or back pack, or even if small enough on the back strap of the CPAP mask, and essentially have filtered Cpap air blown directly into your Nose.

I've been using Titebond 3 for some trout sized (17x8 basket) nets I've been making... I occasionally get an area where I'm getting a small gap, that the clamping wasn't correct.

I've heard that some epoxy glues will fill these small voids.. but not sure where to look

And if possible, suggestion to fit the nets.. or better to just toss them?  

TIA, Dave

Well, I finally got around to finishing this burl set cut from the same infused maple burl. Only had enough for these two saws. 12" Triple dovetail and half back with white mother of pearl inlaid saw bolts. I decided to go with the white MOP instead of the Golden MOP just because. Couldn't really decide, but the white does stand out more. Should I go back to the Golden MOP? The problem with "one off" saws is they can't be duplicated if I screw up. I got lucky with these two.

A saw is a saw, is a saw. Until you screw on up and it is no longer a saw.
