Looking forward to the meet-up
Watched your video on CNC machines, would like to know more about the software used. I’m not great with computers and would consider myself a novice. Generally what is the learning curve.

Looks good
First of all I want to encourage everyone out there to be extra cautious during this busy time of the year. I learned the difference between a safe distance when everything goes good and a safe distance when things go bad. Had a piece of wood split on the router table today and pulled my finger into the bit. I was very lucky lost a little bit of finger nail and skin a lesson learned.
Looking forward to it.
Where I see the other young lady that the read the questions? She was great. I loved the humor between you.
I tried cutting mitres on a bandsaw (new blade) to make a box. The wood is five inches wide and I am using a mitre gauge for precision, but the cut seems to drift into the wood leaving a slight concave near the middle. The result is a gap when I join the boards together. My blade tension is good. What could the issue be? is it the guides?

I got my Christmas present to myself today – a Rikon 10″ bandsaw. It was on sale, $60 off, and free shipping. I couldn’t pass it up.
I was taught not to lay a plane on it’s face for fear of chipping the blade. I’ve watched many videos and have seen almost everyone put the plane face down. Some would quickly move the plane to it’s side or in the next frame it would be on its’s side. One professional woodworker said, and I paraphrase, don’t sit the plane on it’s side as it may change your blade allignment. I personally think that laying the plane on it’s side as correct. It’s a lot easier to reallign than resharpen. What is correct?
John, I was taught the same. Several knowledgeable Woodworkers I’ve asked have said it doesn’t seem to matter, as long as you don’t dull your blade (face down) or cut yourself (side down). They all differ.

I have cut several 3D scenes on the CNC.
How can I finish these scenes where they are not all plain but so that the 3d will stand out, accenting the scene?
Thanks,

Where do you get your plastic laminate? I can’t find any locally.
Mickey mouse ears hearing protection works really great over hearing aids. When they’re bluetooth enabled, they are as good as the ones George uses

For the hearing aid question I’m using 3M WorkTunes earmuffs with behind the ear aids and it’s working without feedback which is usually the big issue. I also use them when mowing, etc.

Hoping you can back to my question. What is the best way to eliminate snipe on a desktop planer?
I raise the back end of the board a little on the infeed side and the leading edge of the board as it comes out on the outfeed side. This seems to eliminate snipe for me. I have a DeWalt planer.

Do I put a coat of shellac on over teak before finishing with polyurethane?
You can.
A question from Parker Megow on YouTube- When I use a power hand planer it seems to take off wood no matter what. Is this normal? I am very new to Wood working.
Parker MegowI get that but when I watch people hand plane it seems to only take off the high spots. Haha watching videos only teaches me so much! It’s nice to be able to ask questions. Thank you!

I recently moved to Denver where it is very dry. My Jointer seems to gouge more than in Minnesota even with sharp blades.
Hmmmmmm. I don’t know. I can’t imagine an environmental change that would affect how your jointer cuts. Did the tables on the jointer get out of alignment from the move?
I have a 38″ duel drum sander but can’t seem to keep the paper on. Suggestions? Nashville, MI
My sander has clips on the drums, and they hold great. If you’re having lots of problems I’d contact the manufacturer and see if they have suggestions.
What type of finish do you suggest for an outdoor beanbag/corn hole game – plywood top?
Clear coat? Polyurethane or spar varnish. Otherwise, exterior paint
