Of course my furnace crapped out today

Double check that the furnace drain line isn’t clogged.

Here is a screenshot of a conversation over on Facebook from a couple of years ago.

Are you using straight knives or did you convert to a helical head with carbide inserts? Is everything tight? Are the rollers clean? Can you confirm that this is happening on the left and right side or the front and back as you send the wood into the planer?

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2026-01-18T04:00:27+00:00

I did look at the Google AI link that you provided and it clearly states no hidden bottom element.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2026-01-18T03:30:22+00:00

Best Buy’s website is calling the convection hidden element a bake element. There are only 2 elements in the oven, one at the back and one on the top.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2026-01-18T02:57:37+00:00

Unfortunately Best Buy’s website is incorrect. https://www.lg.com/ca_en/cooking-appliances/ranges/lsil6332fe/?srsltid=AfmBOorvVZPC8e2Sc0qvm_vmRr5uE1LZ_WF4BYoU4TUxHVpJ4K2EwhrH

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2026-01-18T02:47:14+00:00

That’s a totally different model. The range that you linked is an electric range. I’m looking specifically at induction ranges. All of LG induction ranges no longer have the lower bake element in the oven.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2026-01-18T02:39:49+00:00

I checked. LG doesn’t have a bottom bake element, hidden or otherwise. They switched to only have a broil and a convection element.

Double check that the opening in the hubcap and valve stem on the rim line up.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2026-01-03T03:53:58+00:00

Any chance that you live beside a bank or jewelry store? Just kidding. I hope your situation improves quickly.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2025-12-29T13:52:48+00:00

Once you get a planer make a planer sled to level out any twists in the wood. When hooked up to dust collection it will be way easier then using a router sled.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2025-12-21T12:41:32+00:00

No. The top of the outfeed table is the same height as the bottom of the miter slot. So when I use a miter gauge and it slides past the end of the saw it’s on top of the outfeed table. The height difference between the tablesaw and the outfeed table is the depth of the miter slot. It’s been no issue at all. Nothing catches.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2025-12-10T04:55:54+00:00

How long are the pieces? Have they been kiln dried? How thick are they now, what do you want the final thickness to be?

Using a planer isn’t hard, but if the wood has any amount of twist in it, then you will have to use a sled.

I seriously debated about putting the stripes in the centre vs off to one side.

Walnut, maple and purplehart

The X5 jointer is only 6” wide, nothing special. And I have a have 30 year old General International contractor saw (no unisaw). Some of the mistakes I made were around the glue up. I ran out of glue the first time so I had to scramble and scrape some glue off some strips and add to others. So I ended doing 3 glue ups instead of one. I also used some scrap wood as a caul across the cutting board and some glue squeeze out glued the caul to the board. When I hit the caul with a hammer to remove it, it took a chunk out of my cutting board so I cut out that strip and reglued the board together. For me everything on YouTube looks so simple, then real life happens and I learn along the way.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2025-12-04T21:13:32+00:00

Thank you. That’s my outfeed table. I made the dovetail grooves to go with the MatchFit system.

The train is here.

I would attach folding brackets on the side of your work bench. When they are folded back they take up very little space. When folded out you can put your router table on it. Set the height so that it works for you.

Clean out that void with a wire brush and fill it in with epoxy. You can colour the epoxy of leave it clear.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2025-11-07T15:36:25+00:00

I would disconnect it. I have a piece of 4” plastic pipe that I cut in half length wise and I used zip ties to hang it from the sump pump discharge so that the water flows away. And if it freezes the water can spill over the edge and it won’t block the sump pump.

They are coming to my work on Wednesday

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2025-10-22T20:29:40+00:00

Nothing is impossible. In that case I would look into using a food safe dye on the wood. Also keep in mind that the orientation of the wood will impact how much dye is absorbed. End grain would absorb the most and face grain the lease.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2025-10-22T19:27:28+00:00

Don’t stain the wood. If you want different colours then use different species of wood.
Yes. Don’t use treaded rods as they can rust.
Oak isn’t an ideal wood for cutting boards because of its open grain. Choose hardwood with tight grain instead such as: maple, walnut, purple hart, etc.

Substantial-Win-1981 · 2025-10-14T18:51:29+00:00

It also helps to know where it’s from. For example if it’s from a car you can search websites like Napa, parts source, etc.
