A Power Tool Isn't Just Cass Sunstein, OR . . .
First up, I've featured this talented Brit on previous hobby threads and he does some beautiful up-cycling of beat up pieces.
Arguably, no other stationary power tool draws as much polarizing opinion as the radial arm saw. Some say it's more versatile and even safer than a table saw while others recoil in horror, regarding it as an amputation waiting to happen. I've hemmed and hawed about getting one for my future post-NYC shop. What say you all? Michael Alm is a woodworker out of Seattle and here's an interesting project of a coffee table that converts into a dining table. I like how he made 1/3 scale model to work out the mechanics. You younger whipper-snappers love you some Sketchup and Fusion 360 but sometimes it's better to have an actual piece in your hands to see how things work. Next is an Estonian furniture maker with a step-by-step of how to restore a Scandinavian/East European farm table that has seen better days. Lots of good tips and techniques. I've featured this gentleman before and you cannot believe the furniture he builds using mostly scrap and pallet wood. Super-talented Canadian bloke restores a sorry looking painted dresser back to its Mid-Century Modern glory. Parts of this workbench are a bit gimmicky, but that said, the overall dimensions, design and functionality, in particular the bench dogs and vise as well as how it can be used as an out-feed for the contractors saw, would be great for a small shop or garage space. Slap some locking casters from Rockler on this and I might give this a second look for my own future shop. And speaking of small shops, lastly, this Kiwi shows us his really efficient single car garage workshop, with some great tips and ideas for how to set up and organize a shop in a small space. Have a great rest of the weekend, kids!Comments

I dismantled the pallets, but you can use them whole for outer walls, but have a LOT of gaps to fill.
The Duck-billed Deck Wrecker is an EXCELLENT tool for dismantling pallets.

Put the freshly painted cover and a new gasket back onto the Suburban's differential. Added 3 quarts of 85W-140. Pours really slow. Took about half an hour to get it through the funnel and pipe. All at an awkward angle while holding everything over my head.

I spent a summer working for an architectural modeling firm. We built all sorts of scale models of apartment buildings, marinas (using a shower door tinted and painted to look like water... it did), warehouses and, most interestingly, Saudi airbases. All the tools were your standard shop variety. Yet the tabletop Saudi airbase we did was classified at scale. I still remember the DoD security dicks poking around.

I learned how to weld years and years ago in a metal sculpture class taught by a renowned artist. On the first day, he gave this incredible speech about the material, what it can do, artists like Picasso, Calder, Moore and on and on for like 20 minutes. Everyone was in rapt attention and finally he concluded...
"...and if you get nothing else out of this course, you'll be able to get a job at an auto body repair shop."
Cracked me up.

I'm too accustomed to working with various metals and plastics, which are far more predictable for an incurable perfectionist. I get much satisfaction out of taking a crusty looking bar of steel or aluminum and making shiny parts out of it.

We moved a lot when I was a kid because of his job and he always looked for the fixer up so he had a project. It culminated with my parents buying a farm in what was at the time considered the boondocks almost the day I graduated high school. I was the youngest so they indulged their dual passions, my mom got her horse farm, my dad got his ultimate fixer upper.
The farm they bought was built in the early 1800's and is listed as a historical site. Got the marker and everything. It hadn't been lived in when they bought it for 50 years. It would be hard to describe how bad it was when the bought it. I thought my mom was joking when she took us to see it. My dad fell in love at first sight.
It would take days to describe everything we did but suffice it to say we essentially rebuilt and transformed a 1800s era cow farm relic into a 20th century working horse farm. Think This Old House on steroids.
My dad was the an amazing guy.

I have made housefuls of furniture since, and gotten a nice collection of hand tools, the favorite one a try plane, wood and iron, made by the planemaker shop A. Mattheissen and Sons, in Glasgow, dated 1872. I've got a lot of antique iron.

As I left California, I gave an old but very high-quality set of Japanese chisels to a neighbor who I knew would appreciate it. In turn, he gave me an astonishingly beautiful wooden bowl, just the sort of thing I might have made, if I had discovered in myself any woodworking talent.
Finally also realized that I strongly prefer hand tools whenever one can do without power. Table saws and radial arm saws and Skilsaws -- I've used them, but there is some fear there.
Posted by: Splunge at November 20, 2021 08:18 PM (PQ4Fz)
Years back, I bought a big lathe to make spindles for a bed as an example. I start it once or twice a year to keep the motor good. jeez
I used to build furniture, but them built a house, and it took some fun out of the wood shop for awhile.
I do still build my bee hives, and whig is right, the radial arm saw is great for seeing your dados as you make them.

I have my grandfather's wooden tool box that my dad said he thought Grampy made himself. Just a big heavy wooden box with termite-eaten boards on the bottom. Wondering about getting it out, going through all the "artifacts" within, and then seeing how it might be turned into something beautiful my son might want to keep.
Posted by: skywch at November 20, 2021 07:42 PM (sKjat)
One of the first things you did when you learned carpentry, once upon a time, was to make your own tool box. Once you could do that you went on to doing actual work. Check to see, if the walls slant inwards to the bottom, the bottom might be easily replaceable. That was a standard pattern.
(I have no real abilities besides a willingness to read old books and remember them - I can't do woodwork, I never had the skill)

First, was a fairly simple 4x4 sofa. bolted together with homemade cushions. That thing was a beast, but it moved well, since I could un-bolt it for shipping.
I then went on to sideboards and hutches and desks..
The last major piece I made was a leopardwood coffee table with padauk legs.
It is a fun hobby and I have been meaning to get back into it. I am determined that this year I will make some keepsake boxes for my daughters out of my growing collection of exotic hardwoods.. I keep buying more, but don't use them!
I am setting up a workplace in the garage this weekend.
I will be doing 2 Padauk boxes with birdseye Maple tops for them. and hopefully a Wenge jewelry box for my wife. (but that may all change)

It's too small, especially for 29 year old eyes to work with. I think if you want to model large expanses or more realistic length trains, it's an ideal scale.
I'm more of a railroad modeler than a model railroader, so operation is less important than building and detailing models and scenes. So the larger scales are more suited to my taste.
Not to say you can't do that in N. There's a guy, M.C. Fujiwara, who is doing some stunning modeling in N.

The business above was begun and owned by two Scientologists for many years (they've since retired and turned it over to guys I knew back when).
Anyway, a precept of Scientology is that to 'erase' a traumatic memory from your mind, you have to 'confront' (i.e.re-live) it.
A shop rookie somehow got his hand caught palm-down on the feeder belt of the SandingMaster machine. It sanded off the back of his hand before he was able to get it out. Ouch.
The one guy is like, listen, it's gonna hurt forever unless you put it back in the machine. We'll turn off the sandpaper drum, but will turn on the feeder belt. You'll erase the trauma and feel better.
Dumb enough to get sanded, smart enough to demur. Spoiler: he quit.

It's too small, especially for 29 year old eyes to work with. I think if you want to model large expanses or more realistic length trains, it's an ideal scale.

That's the only problem with N scale. Every year, it seems that they make it smaller and harder to see than it was the previous year. Don't know why they keep doing that...

Assuming you mean hand-plane blades, they're actually quite easy IF you have the right equipment.
You can start with one of the cheap Chinese jigs. You WILL need to make some modifications, but those are easily done with hand tools (mostly a file), and some care (there are YT videos out there to walk you through the process.
You'll also need some (relatively) good sharpening stones.
On the other end, Woodpeckers did a run of a sharpening jig setup w/some diamond stones. It is, IMNSHO, the cat's meow for sharpening wood chisels and plane blades.

Yea... I've seen his work. It's impressive. I've always been drawn to the smaller scale for space requirements. Habit. I agree the HO scale is much more forgiving to anyone with 29YO or older eyes.
And I agree the most fun/satisfying parts are the "modeling" and not the "running" parts. It's art vs. mechanics IMO. Besides... do you really want to be known as someone who makes the trains run on time?

They all picked up tics. Mammaw literally saved every fluid when cooking, and then reused it. Pappaw would never throw a single part away, he'd always clean, straighten, reuse or put it in a container for later.
I have always thought of them as Depression era tics, but I wonder if they are just older habits from before the cornflake generations of excess and disposability.

Like a planer?
Posted by: MkY
If you run a warped board through a planer, it will reduce the thickness of the board and keep the warp in it as it squashes both sides of the board. A monster jointer is used to take out the warp in one side as it doesn't compress both sides of the board being worked. The old warp will be taken off at only the 'hills' of the board. After multiple passes, all the 'hills' and warp will be taken off on that side.
THEN, you can put that face down in the planer and start planing off the thickness necessary on the opposite side of the board.

The hardwood place where I get my lumber will joint edges for me and I give them specs on exact dimensions.. So, I doubt I will ever need a jointer.. and you can use a router for an edge jointer on 3/4 lumber anyway.

Small metal-cutting tools (mini-mill, mini-lathe) are fantastic for precision cuts in wood. That's how I made several of my pulleys.
I've got a good collection of stationary woodworking tools, many of them ancient enough to be iron.
Somehow I've made a LOT of bookshelves.

Thanks. I get that. I use raw wood, so I understand. Some boards I just can't use without cutting first because of that warp.
Heartbreaking sometimes. Gorgeous grain, start at 5/4... down to 1/2" and you still can't use it as one piece!

Fell off a utility pole and caught right little finger in a conduit clamp, de-gloved the last joint. That means pulled all the flesh off the bone. I rinsed it off in cold water, put it back on, wrapped it in a paper towel, and drove myself to the hospital in Athens Georgia. Walked in the ER with gaffs still on me feet and said can you look at this. Had quit bleeding and they didn't think it was all that serious with this red line all around finger. When I told them it pulled off they want to 'clean' it. Fcuk that. I walked out.

It was in Denver's seedy-but-cool five points district, in an old commercial building, a huge place with large room after large room.
He had 1920s era stationary tools, the most impressive a huge bandsaw and a more huge jointer, the bandsaw with maybe 30 inch wheels, and the jointer about a 12, looking like an aircraft carrier.
The walls everywhere were festooned with wood patterns, and the smell of weed just about put me under.

Posted by: MkY at November 20, 2021 09:07 PM (Foq6I)
when you are dealing with rough lumber, after you have cut you have nominally sized it to length and width, you want to flatten one side so you can plane it to desired thickness
other wise, any bow that is in the wood will remain after you send it thru the planer
and it is very important to heep up with how much material you are removing from each side of your board, trying to remove evnly from each side

I have a couple of Singers, but I don't do fancy stuff. The last project was taking some $4 bed pillows, sewing up some patterned cotton duck as a better quality covering, and cut and sewed and ladder-stitched onto it and made $15 pillows that are a pleasure to sleep on.
I had more duck material and a useless body pillow, so I made 2 more as well
I did make a hooded cloak for a friend's kid, but it is one of those things she will have to grow into. Lined garments are an interesting puzzle to make, I had to figure out how to make it inside out. I made two small doll-sized ones to figure out the process.
I showed them around and got asked if I made them for the cats.

Today we were out today looking at downed trees, I need to make firewood for next year and there are areas that are stacked with trees that the ice took down.
This was the quick run out to see if the 4wd can handle the dirt road, and of course it can. The starter is wonky, and I haven't tried the winch for a while so I have to make sure it works too.
I also ground up some dried green chilies into powder this morning, and that stuff is ferocious. I plan on using some of it to make hot chili oil.

There was an article about a resident who lived near the river that got a depredation permit to wack the beavers that were knawing down the trees in his orchard.
The editor commented that everyone knew the way to keep out Beavers was just to erect a goalpost. :-)

I have, on multiple occasions, found jobs that my sliding compound miter saw COULD do that my radial arm saw could not, and I have never once found the opposite. My sliding compound miter saw can do every job of a radial arm saw. It even has dado stops, and you can buy dado packs for it.
Don't get a radial arm. Get a sliding compound miter saw.
Added benefit, the sliding compound miter saw is WAAAY safer.
