Yeah, I think if you’re going to do a lot of thin strips, a jig is worthwhile (and that seems like a nice method). I liked just using the featherboard because it worked (surprisingly) well, felt safe, took a matter of seconds to set up, and doesn’t require me storing a jig (I’m tight on garage space).
Thoughts on the video below? It seems like it weakens the joint a bit per his findings. I’ve never done it myself (I use cauls with packing tape and iterate between them and other clamps), but I’ve heard the salt tip recommended a lot.
Have either of the kids shown a passing interest in learning to woodwork? Obviously tons of safety precautions need to be taken (including potentially changing the nature of projects to do them more safely for kids), but maybe that’s a way to at least get in the shop a bit, even if it’s to make some simple hand-tool boxes out of scrap with a kiddo.
Edit to add: it’s definitely tough to make as much time for hobbies as a parent, and I hope you’re able to find some good shop time in the New Year!
I have what look to be almost those exact wheels on my table saw platform. I have a jobsite saw for which I built a cabinet, and I also put flip casters on it. I love them! They’re miles better than the “locking” ones that just roll while you’re trying to cut things.
Gotcha; well I laughed anyway :)
Ok, I got an imgur warning for erotic or adult imagery. I’m assuming that was intentional, OP, because it was a dangerously good deal? The planes look great!
I’ve totally had that happen to me before :(
That said, I love my honeywell(?) half-face respirator otherwise. It beats a standard face mask in comfort by a mile. I even got some paper N99 filter sheets + reusable holders for them, which works great and makes it so I don’t blow through plastic cartridges.
