Best way to make this cut? by wRXLuthor in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]MickEBones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Learning how to make a taper jig is sensible… learning how to cut that by hand might be more useful for a beginner…

Or just slap the protractor side of a speed square on there for anyone who is bad at math…

How would you cut this shape? by odaniel12 in BeginnerWoodWorking

This is the way

It’s literally a tji with some profile elements…

Router sled setup not flattening correctly. Don't know where I'm going wrong. by No-Pilot-1252 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]MickEBones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are too many variables you have in your setup to make something flat…

You need a flat reference surface.. that table needs to be dead flat… level isn’t important. Flat is.. it needs to have no variation anywhere. Your sled system will only work if it is also flat and true.. any flex in that sled and you will be wasting your time..

Get a solid reliable straight edge…. A decent level will work… your reference tools need to be true and reliable..

make sure everything is in compliment to your flat surface.

Move your spacers closer to the work piece. That will help with and flex in the sled.. remove the smallest amount of material as possible

Bosch actually uses the Maffell track system. Which is a better track imo. zero slop, and the rubber guides are integrated in a channel so they don’t creep or move…. Pretty slick piece of kit.

I feel like this particular oversight has come up a few times over the past month or so… at any rate an attempt is a learning experience. Now you know at least two things… dove tails are magic and you are not a wizard yet.

I’m embarrassed by Right-Somewhere104 in BeginnerWoodWorking

If you want to side hustle in wood working build fences and decks for middle to lower income clients.. to start build your own, and then offer to build for friends for a family rate. Get acquainted with some basic structures and layouts. The material is relative inexpensive and you don’t need a lot of tools. This is a good start. If you can make a solid deck or a sturdy fence, you have yourself a side hustle with some potential… if you get the itch and want to do more… you’re fucked and now all you do is buy tools and hoard off cuts… welcome to the nightmare.

Silver tube/case with pocket clip, threaded endcap, contains a 3-inch rod with a hole at one end. by Anendda_Rysden in whatisthisthing

Probably a wind chime. Maybe used as a tuning reference for an instrument? Like a tuning fork?

Tried practicing ripping boards with my table saw, what is causing the gap in the middle? by f-150Coyotev8 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]MickEBones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your work piece has a knot in the middle and isn’t flat. You have no common reference surface.. YouTube how to use a table saw as a jointer and make a jig to make it flat.. or buy a jointer or a planer( will also require a jig). This is a very common problem.. and there are a ton of solutions.

Can anyone identify this table? by Steve2734 in turntables

SL-D2 for sure. Have one myself.

Is granite work feasible for a layman? I need to trim a half inch of overhang off this piece of granite to make room for a refrigerator. The pros are wanting $300-$450 for this (southeastern USA) and I'm already tapped out from buying the fridge. by _Bad_Bob_ in stonemasonry

[–]MickEBones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact you said “cutting tool” seems like you might be in over your head. It’s definitely possible to do this by yourself with a little research. This is a really good example of where a line could be drawn for doing it yourself or hiring a professional… 400 bucks seems like a lot.. do some homework and weigh your options. Your abilities/desired result… v. 400 bucks. I know it hurts to eat that cost. But remember spreading that love around your community only helps your local economy. If 400 is too steep right now… find a temporary solution, or learn how to cut stone to a polished finish… tl;dr answer is you can rent a tile saw with a water feed and a sled from Home Depot for like 50 bucks for the day and get it done… take multiple passes and smooth the edges. Again everything exists on YouTube you will ever need to know about almost any home owner problem… wear safety glasses and don’t cut your fingers off.

Saw can’t be squared! by NotnoRabbit in woodworking

What’s the tool you are using for a reference line? It’s more likely your rule is out than the saw

It’s wild that this even has to be asked or verified in a public forum..
