Hi! This is my first time on any kind of forum but I need help. I’m new to turning and have a lot to learn but my first obstacle is I’m highly allergic to every wood. I’m literally allergic to pretty much anything that grows from the earth. I love playing on my lathe and really doing anything...

So this is going to be my first wood project, so yes I’m new to the whole thing. I have someone experienced to help me with it all, but I need some help figuring out the plans. There’s a picture that I made of a mock-up with cardboard to help understand what the idea is. It’s going to be a shoe...

I acquired a Delta TP300 Planer awhile back. The blades needed sharpening, so I had that done. When I reinstalled them, the set gauge was missing as was the wrench. A wrench is no problem. But I set the blades in place, eyeballed the set and tightened the many bolts to secure them. I've...

I've been working with wood for almost 4 years, I've been working with hardwoods for the past 2. I have 8 month old twins so I don't have as much time to spend working on things as I used to. I work out of half of a two car garage while my classic car gets covered in sawdust. I enjoy going out...

Looking for a good hobby that is enjoyable and productive. Thinking I want to learn the craft doing most everything by hand first. Question: Is is a good idea to invest in a couple of Frame (bow) saws. Thinking of a 28" 5 tpi and a 24" 9 tpi. As I want to start fairly inexpensively, must of the...

...from the RouterForums.com. Saw the link in a post, followed it and signed up. Recently moved to Florida from Minnesota so I have been without a workshop for most of the year. Slowly getting one back together here in FLA. Enjoy carving. Started two years ago, mostly relief. Have a Shark CNC...

Ok, this is my first post in a woodworking forum as I am at the VERY beginning of what I hope to be a long and enjoyable adventure as a hobbyist. Unfortunately I'm struggling (badly) with what seems to be the same issue all woodworking newbies struggle with...what table saw is right for me...

I'm new to this forum I was searching for info and found this site. I have found it rather helpful while trying to complete things I have really no business doing! Anyhow I sure I will converse some of you through out my time here. Thanks ahead of time for all you have taught me! Jeff

My wife bought me a pretty nice mitre saw for Christmas. (Didn't bother wrapping it!) Double bevel, sliding, the works. My task, build shelving that wraps around a corner with invisible mounts. Like this. I've got a general idea of how to get this done but like I said, I'm new to this aside...

I'm pretty new to wood working and just wanted to say hello. I've already read a ton on this forum and love it. I just wanted to officially make my first post and tell you about the new project saw I just acquired. I think I got a good deal on this Delta 34-801 but I think it is in need of some...

Hello, everyone. I'm new to both woodworking and these forums. I come from a small town in Texas called Azle. It's a little northwest of Ft. Worth. Anyway, I'm currently a full-time college student majoring in Psychology, and I've decided to pick up a new hobby that I've always been...

Greetings and salutations, I an new to forums and have never participated in one. But after lurking in the Internet shadows for a while I decide this sight was worth interacting with. I am looking forward to the exchange of ideas and learning. Thanks for an awesome sight. "and now for...

Hi everyone. Wausau WI checking in. From my user name here, you'll probably figure out a bit about my shop. I began woodworking on my dad's Shopsmith 10er in the mid 1950's & still use that machine along with another 10er & a MK5 & MK5 "shortie". I suppose, besides being a woodworker, you could...

Hello to the group, I just found this site today and registered. :thumbsup: I've been a professional studio woodturner for more than 13 years (Eurowood Werks Studio) concentrating on production bowls, platters and hollow forms. In the last year and a half, I have slowly transitioned my studio...
