In my effort to always start with over kill I have been looking at getting a Leigh jig (used of course).

Anyone else use one? What are your thoughts? ]]> Joinery Dvoigt http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/leigh-dovetail-jigs-19142/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/am-i-headed-train-wreck-making-new-kitchen-cabinets-19041/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:16:00 GMT I'm considering making new kitchen cabinets, no I haven't done anything major like this in a long time, but am up for it. I live in Arkansas and am surrounded by the logging industry, I am thinking about getting a log of ash or oak cut down and working with this. Any input would be appreciated. ]]> Joinery roy-byrd http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/am-i-headed-train-wreck-making-new-kitchen-cabinets-19041/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/percise-measurements-19030/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:53:56 GMT I am making a table from plans that include several dado cut with a router, percise lengths of the legs, etc. I have a table saw, router table, a... I am making a table from plans that include several dado cut with a router, percise lengths of the legs, etc.

I have a table saw, router table, a second router and a cut off saw.
I am having trouble getting the parts to the percise measurements. The only way I have found is to "sneak up" on the measurements taking tiny slivers off one end until I get it right. For small cut-office, I take a piece of scrap and get it right and then clamp a stop to the bed of the cutoff saw and then do the real pieces. But this does not work for long pieces. I wish I had an industrial-sized machine with a screw setting. But this is a shop in my garage. Any tips are welcome. ]]> Joinery HowardHammerman http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/percise-measurements-19030/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/new-pt-titebond-iii-18994/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:21:01 GMT I'm building a compost bin with 1 x 6 PT. For my door slats, using a dado blade I cut a one inch wide slot. I then cut one inch wide pieces from scrap PT to fit tight in the slot.

I was all set to glue then in place but since the PT still seems damp, thought I need to wait until they are dry.

The piece being glued will have very very little stress.

So, question is, should I wait and how long.

BTW, after glueing I'll shoot a brad or two for additional support. ]]> Joinery wsommariva http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/new-pt-titebond-iii-18994/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/need-help-18992/ Sun, 29 Aug 2010 22:14:03 GMT I am new to wood working and need help with putting together the corners for a picture frame or for a wood frame for a glass door.

I would like to cut the wood at a 45 degree angle. I have a router and I have been told that there is matching offset bits you can buy and use. Then just glue the corners together. I can not find these can some one please help me. ]]> Joinery deepwaterwolf http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/need-help-18992/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/wood-pegs-instead-mortise-tenon-joints-first-timer-18983/ Sun, 29 Aug 2010 16:17:26 GMT I'm going to attempt my first project, and I'm planning to make a radiator cover with mission-style sides. Since this is my first project and I don't have access to more than basic woodworking tools I was considering using wood pegs and just drilling a hole on each spindle (is that what they're called?) and on the top piece of wood, and then gluing them together with a wood peg. Has anyone tried this, or know if it would work and still be a strong joint?

Thanks! ]]> Joinery kitssa http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/wood-pegs-instead-mortise-tenon-joints-first-timer-18983/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/kreg-jig-set-18751/ Mon, 16 Aug 2010 04:20:13 GMT I'm thinking of finally getting a pocket hole Kreg jig but they have three sets to choose from. Since I know nothing about them and actually never seen one in use, I'm not sure which one to get. Any suggestions here are the three options.


Kreg Pocket Hole Joinery Combination Kit $139.00


Kreg Pocket Hole Jig System $99.98


Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig $39.98


I'm not sure if I'm even going to like it so I'm leaning more to the one for $39.98. However I'm worried that if I get that one it could make me not like the jig because it may be hard to use. Now I'm looking to the one for $99.98 thinking it's easier. I'm thinking the most expensive one is more then I need, but again I know nothing about them.

Any help would be appreciated. ]]> Joinery rrbrown http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/kreg-jig-set-18751/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/not-so-square-possible-ruined-project-18695/ Thu, 12 Aug 2010 18:03:03 GMT Hey everyone, so I'm begining to put the peices together for a end table I am making for my wife. Using the bedlock system I assembles two sides and glued them together with tight bond. Today I tood a look reading to stain the sides and I found that one side doesnt seem as square as I thought it was. I knew one peice wasn't cut just right, but close. I was hoping to fill it in if needed and be done with it. Now I see that that side doesnt lay flat. Now there will be cross peices on the botom all the way around, and a drawer installed. So this should help with stability. But do I now have to worry about it being lop sided.... I hate to loose it with so many hours already invested......

Deck Repair.
In order to best support and secure wooden railings to a deck I have to use lagbolts screwed through 2 pieces of pressure-treated lumber (1 1/2"thick) and screwed into another piece of pressure-treated lumber (1 1/2" thick) attached to the joists. [Now 3/8" lagbolts have been recommended to me; presumably 6" lagbolts are available.]

The question arises as how best to do this. I am thinking I need to drill a pilot hole through 2 pieces and into the third piece of lumber. Now what length and size drill bit would I need to accomodate the depth of the 3 pieces. Please can I be advised as to how to implemen this plan;
