Has anyone heard from Jim Reed? The last post from him that I've been able to find was on 5/25.

Jim Reed, A Delta tensioning jig, the original heavy-duty style, appeared on the Tallahassee Facebook Marketplace today for $50.00 and was sold before I had a chance to reply. Might you be the lucky person to snag this beauty?

I've been away for a couple of months - we had an unpleasant visitor on 10/10 that took away most of our infrastructure and I finally had internet reconnected again today. I've missed you guys! It's good to see all the items that you're working on. Blue

Second attempt at posting pictures. Thanks for the tip DRIVES.

Raw Material Since moving to Florida, I've been disappointed at the lack of hardwood available for purchase. About the only place where it was available was the local Lowe's and it was expensive and the variety was poor to say the least. Then I went to a church dinner just before Easter, met a...

Jim, I have a couple of #3's of that vintage, with beaded knob. They're sweet users. Blue

I agree! I've been looking for a neat way to store my auger bits - this appears to be THE solution. Blue

Jim, Appleply is some of the best plywood for woodworkers. Unfortunately, I never found it available locally. There's another that I've used extensively for my sheet-goods projects - Baltic Birch. I found it readily available at Woodwerks in Columbus, OH when I lived there. I liked it so much...

JAR944, Give us a few more pics of the wall-hung tool cabinet please. Blue Frog

Well, I've been negligent in posting the progress of the crib - essentially nothing accomplished for about 2 1/2 weeks due to having the flu. I'm wrapping it up now - need to drill the holes for screws to assist assembly/disassembly, then add trim to the top of the front and sides similar to...

I've been down with the flu for several weeks - not able to accomplish much. My last posting on the progress on the crib was post# 1294, way back on page 65. Did I mention that the oak that I'm using is well seasoned - it was cut with a large circular saw and had been n a dry basement when I...

I apologize for reading your question too quickly and assuming that you meant the wooden bench. The stand came with the planer from a C/L ad several years ago. The PO had used both for a period of time - long enough to dull the cutters in the planer and didn't change them. Anyway, I don't know...

If you want to see pictures, I'll take some tomorrow and post them. Blue Frog

My first time to use it and I'm glad that I did. It's a little messy - best applied with a brush. I ran a string of glue along one of the mitered edges of one of the boards and found that it was difficult to smooth out. From that time on , I applied it with a brush. It's also a little messy, but...

Bench is an Ulmia - picked it up in Cincy several years ago for $500.00. I've never regretted that purchase. Blue Frog

A couple of pages back, I posted a picture of a baby crib that my grandson and his wife asked me to build. Here's the picture: The wood selected was white oak, of which I have an ample supply, though most of it was 1 1/8" thick, so it took some time to plane down to 3/4". If I did all...

Grandson #2 and his wife are expecting their first child in April. They're coming over today to lay out plans for the crib they want for the baby. I'll be posting pictures as we progress, just as Jim Reed has done in some of his posts. There are no firm plans available for this crib though it...

Jim, Our friend over on Woodnet, The Cabinetmaker, ages metal, such as your screws, in the toilet cleaning product called The Works. This was reported also by Chris Swartz in one of his blogs. Blue Frog

Absolutely true and has been for decades - just don't see many folks using plastic resin glue. My father taught this to me in the early 1950's. He used plastic resin glue in the construction of wooden boats. Blue Frog
