Not the Dallas Cowboys… the North Queensland Cowboys Rugby League… My good mate Brad did a bit of gardening for me and as a thank you… here is the sign I made. It is Queensland Maple with a West Australian Jarrah border… over 1 metre long..  [40 inches cousins...] You can probably know what the blue table is… if not more hints in the next pick… Yes it is a Gifkins Dovetail Box Makers Router Table… Now you know why the Triton Router… The Triton Router is possibly the best router for a router table and certainly the best for use in the Gifkins table..Yup, it’s Cowboy Country… Later I will be reviewing the Triton Router, the Gifkins Dovetail Jig and my new range of small boxes…

Also a low budget project. It’s very good working, and made from plywood … and the motor from a very old washing machine.

I Never posted any of the bowls I sculpt and this will be a first. The wood is spalted narra. I came across several pieces of these years back and thought they were just fantastic. This is probably the most beautiful wood I’ll ever get to work with. Over here in the Philipines, they’re much rarer than amboyna burl. I get to extract a huge portion of this valuable wood from the center of the bowl and sculpt them into personalized gun grips. The bowl measures: L 28” D 9” W 15” Have a nice day guys!!!

Hello all. I bought this saw yesterday off of Craigslist. I paid $100 for it. It belonged to the seller’s father and she knew nothing about it. From the serial number, I think it is from 1950. It runs like a top but the part that I am having a hard time figuring out is if it is a wood and metal cutting saw or just wood or is it a homemade dual purpose saw. The box behind the belt drive doesn’t look like anyone that I have seen before and I haven’t been able to locate a lever to change the settings. I am hoping that someone familiar with this model could help me out. Thanks in advance.

I’m searching for a solution to connect the oval dust port below the 12” disc on the Grizzly G1276 Belt/Disc sander to a dust collection system. I am aware Grizzly has changed 2010 and newer models to allow the use of a dust port on the front lower disc guard. Has anyone found and/or successfully adapted an “oval to round” sheet metal fitting to the bottom oval dust port on models that were made before 2010?

Hello everyone, I work at a furniture shop; I don’t make the stuff unfortunately, but I do fit the ironmongery. When I mark out for the handles I use a template that one of my colleagues made. As it’s only a piece of mount board, it’s not very accurate and there are no stops or anything. It takes a long time to mark out all the handles as a result. Don’t get me wrong, it works, but it’s not very efficient and we have a lot of furniture coming through sometimes. I’m quite curious as to if I can make a small jig that makes this easier and quicker. I had the idea of a board with the holes drilled through. 4 sliding stops, 2 of which (being the top 2) sliding together to centralise it horizontally, and the remaining two sides sliding both together and Independently of each other. to centralise on small drawers and to line one side if it’s wider. I hope that gives a reasonably clear idea of what I mean. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated to point me in the right direction. Thank you, Andrew
