BETWEEN CENTRES
When the end of the wood is uneven, or not square to the lathe axis, then the two-prong drive centre should be used; it can be positioned so that both the prongs make equal positive contact with the wood. An alternative to the four-prong centre for smaller work is a "steb centre', which is a cup centre with a serrated edge.UNUSUAL DRAWERS
This chest was built by Duncan Phyfe, one of this country's premier cabinetmakers, in the early 1800s.The chest, of pine with interior fittings faced in Santo Domingo mahogany, features a large sliding till containing 16 finely dovetailed drawers.

One of the simplest ways to reinforce a butt joint (or a mortlse-and-tenon joint, for that matter) Is with through dowels.After the joint Is assembled and the glue has dried, simply drill dowel holes through the joint, using a drill press or a portable driii with a drilling guide. Then, apply glue to the ends of pieces of doweling and drive dowels through the holes with a mallet. HOW TO MAKE A FLUSH TRIM ROUTER Then, you should be ready to trim the edging. If you need to make an adjustment to the jig, loosen the mounting screws that hold the auxiliary base to the router.

AN OVERVIEW OF HOW TO LAY OUT THE CUTS KITS CONVERT GRINDER TO SANDER Changeover takes just a few minutes. We tried kits made by Marshco ($60, 207-722-3523), Milwaukee (#49367020, $40, 800-732-4578) and Wolfcraft (#2247, $49, 708-773-4777) (see photo) on an AEG grinder. They performed much like the dedicated right-angle random-orbit sanders with 5-in. pads. The Bosch 1370 DEVS comes with a reversibledrive ring
PORTABLE SHEET GOODS RACK Portable Sheet Goods Rack. Instead of building their portable sheet-goods rack with two sloping sides, as most plans call for, Wayne and David made one side perpendicular to the floor so they could store the rack flush against the wall.

HOW TO MAKE A GROOVE FOR THE ROLL TOP DESK Simply reduce the thickness on the ends of the rail by cutting a rabbet to create a tongue, see Fig. 2.

When you reduce the thickness of a lift rail or slat, SPLINED MITER JOINTS NOTE: Spline slot and spline can be cut on table saw the miter joint, as shown in the photo above. A spline is simply a thin piece of wood fit into slots cut into the mitered faces. This operation kills two birds with one stone. It adds mechanical strength and gluing surface, and when assembling the miters, the spline helps keep them aligned.

Some people like using a dark denim backing because it doesn't show between the slats. But whatever the material, it not only holds the pieces together, it also acts as the hinge. The canvas allows all the individual pieces to flex as the door slides through the groove. But it takes more than a piece of canvas to allow a door to flex in more than one direction like it has to for an s-shaped tambour . The real secret is the style or profile of the tambour lift rail and slats.... WOODS THAT CONTAIN HIGH AMOUNTS OF TANNIC ACID Mon, 23 Mar 2020 09:17:19 | Sanding Tricks | 88 comments such as white and red oak, cherry and walnut can be ebonized by brushing on an acidic solution of iron and water. Depending on the species, the black color that results is likely to contain shades of brown, red or green. The coloring is usually uniform and consistent, without the blotching that sometimes occurs with oil-based wood stains. On oak and other woods that have large pores, the effect is particularly striking because the pores usually remain light in color. In a glass container,...

And with some materials such as plywood and particleboard , it may be the only way to bend them successfully.

ROUTING AN EDGE JOINT Fri, 31 Jan 2020 01:34:47 | Router Techniques |5 comments
The first step in preparing any edge joint is to joint the edges of the mating boards. Suffice it to say here that this is an operation you can do easily with the router. Details arc found in Jointing with a Router on page 188. But you can joint most boards more quickly and accurately on the jointer , and there's no reason why you shouldn't use the jointer if you can.

When routing any molding, work with a broad piece of stock if at all possible. The extra width gives you something to hold on to, something for hold-downs to bear on. And because the cut is backed up by the excess stock, the wide stock is less likely to break up as you rout it. After completing the profile, rip it from the stock. Don't riskdam-aging your profile by trapping it between the saw blade and the rip fence . Instead, orient the good edge so it will be to the left of the blade, as shown...

Used in casework to hold partitions and shelves to cabinet sides, or in drawer construction to attach fronts to sides, the angled parts of the dovetail make a mechanical connection that resists pulling apart. If you taper the socket and the dovetail, the connection becomes even stronger since the taper helps wedge the dovetail tightly in its socket. Many woodworkers turn to the router to cut this...

The bevel angle is the angle between the bevel and the axis of the tool. The angle of the bevel has a number of effects. It defines the tool edge angle' except on chisels , which are sharpened on both sides so it is the sum of the bevel angles . It is also the cutting angle on gouges when the bevel is in contact v ith the wood. The bevel angle determines the strength of the edge - larger angles have stronger edges.
