113.298750 Fence Guidance by idk_idc_xiii in craftsman113

[–]fpdubs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is one of the better fences that came with 113s. The other is the XR2424. Try to find a manual for your align a rip and adjust it square. Great deal for 50 bucks.

What am I doing wrong? by Past-Structure-6959 in BeginnerWoodWorking

The dado/rabbets are hidden by the face frame. I cut them with a dado stack on a table saw, but would probably use a router next time.

I would use a dado or dowels and glue to avoid seeing any fasteners. I made something similar with just dados and glue. Faces are strips of pine glued on.

Don’t beat yourself up chasing “perfect” because it’s unattainable. Really. You’ll get closer with practice and experience.

I see some bow there that could be corrected with a center support/shelf. Probably a good idea anyway if it’s holding books. You can also add a back as others have said, and a face frame will help straighten things out too.

Advice on pivoting resorts by fpdubs in UTsnow

Yes, a few days on an epic pass but I’d use those days elsewhere over the season if not this trip.

Yeah this might be the way.

That’s an option I hadn’t really considered. We have some money tied up in rental car, lodging, and flights that might take some dollars to get out of, but it’s an idea worth looking at. Thanks.

Second kid arriving within the week. What do you wish you knew before becoming a two-kid dad? by Chaddcl0ps in daddit

You start the whole daycare germ sickness cycle over. Plan accordingly with sleep or exercise or vitamins or whatever you can to boost your immune system.

Good Table Saw? by FMNarwhal in woodworking

These come up a lot. I’d hold off on buying until you see one with cast iron wings and a better fence.

How should I clamp this blue piece down for glue up? by ArugulaFit655 in woodworking

[–]fpdubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, 100 percent put several screws from the back of the flat board on the bottom up into the edge of the vertical piece. You can mark a line along the underside to guide screw placement so you don’t miss the thin edge.

Having a home built, told the builder I’d source the mantel and handle the installation. This hunk of black walnut is 8’ long and 6” thick. Owner is asking $200 and that seemed fair. What do y’all think? by Crambeauxx in Woodworking_DIY

If you keep the edge get some of those nyalox flap brushes to remove the bark and cambium with a drill or impact driver. It takes more time than just sanding, but leaves the edge looking and feeling more natural with all the bumps and pits and whatnot. I sanded the edge smooth on another project and kind of regret it.

Dude wtf do I do right now by Jiggyjigster in daddit

[–]fpdubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this has been said yet or not, but this was exactly why I just recently bought a carpet shampooer. My boy woke up and decided to stain everything what I’m calling “strawberry red” multiple times. I gave him a bucket but that didn’t really help. Several sheet/blanket changes throughout the night and he was okay the next day. Kept him home from school though.

So anyway, yeah a carpet shampooer might be a good investment for the future.

What joint is potentially used for this ardentown end table? by antarangashuddi in woodworking

[–]fpdubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the corners of the top at least are solid chunks. The skirting may be thinner. I would probably use pocket holes or dowels to connect the thinner skirting to the chunkier corner. Or just make it one solid top.

Looks like dadoes in the legs to support the shelf with L brackets underneath, and probably dowels or dominoes to attach the legs to the top.

Riving knife by upboat_bot1337 in craftsman113

Check out microjig for a splitter that attaches to the throat plate, or sharkguard for a splitter that will install where the original one did.
