    I cut my own router circle template using a piece of 1/4inch x 3 inch poplar and put approximate inch marks for a close circle.

    I have a set of mediocre chisels that are about to need sharpening my question is should I learn to sharpen these mediocre chisels or should I go and buy a decent set and use those and in time learn to sharpen those

    What causes a 6 inch disk sander to act like it has a mind of its own. Most of the time it grabs and moves all over the place. I’ve tried different grits, less more pressure. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    What are your recommendations when using lumber from big box stores for say face frames and jigs if you do not have ready access to a lumber yard? What do you look for other than the obvious – bows & cups..

    I want to build a wood mallet and would like to know how to make the wedges to lock the head to the handle. Plan to use walnut would you agree this is a good choice or recommend another wood?
    Thanks

    Hi George..A gold member here, I have been waiting for tonight to ask a few things. Can you recommend a good already built workbench – about 6 -7 foot is all I can fit. Also….could you recommend a good table top drill, press and band saw? Been working on transforming my garage for some time…but now is for buying tools phase. Retired recently – and looking to learn more woodworking as my hobby. Have debated about putting it in the garage or unfinished basement. Winters are cold here…and I’m forced to carry all glue, paint, adhesives and so on to basement. Hope you respond….thank-you

    When finishing bare pine bi-fold doors, is there any need to apply a stain preconditioner (basically a thinned version of the stain with no pigment) on top of a shellac first coat before staining?

    Any cure for off-cut hoarding mania? Seriously, I can’t bring myself to toss all those perfectly beautiful little pieces of wood. I find myself making silly faces from triangles, abstract wall art (bubinga grain is fascinating), weird paper weights, or just expensive glue scrapers. How does one cure this malady? :)

    I’ve been turning pens and have only needed a mandrel, so far. What should I get now to start doing other things?

    I’m looking for a great circular saw blade for breaking down plywood, also would a shallow scoring cut work the same as on a miter saw? The blade rotation being the same.

    Could you give me your lathe chisel brand recommendation(s)? My 25th wedding anniversary is tomorrow and my wife asked for a lathe to turn pens and bowls. Now I need to get her a good first set of chisels. Thanks for doing the show. Watching from Kentucky.

      Any of the English steels are good quality. Sorby, Crown. Doug Thompson makes excellent tools. If your wife is new to turning, consider some of the carbide tools from Mike Hunter, like the Hercules. If buying tools, also consider a sharpening system, which is just as important. Find a turning club in your area for some instruction and guidance and have fun!

    You mentioned during your Easy Cast epoxy video that the two part mixture was different and that the brass powder was heavy. Does it settle to the bottom of the epoxy during the curing process. Thank.

    I have kitchen chairs with splayed legs. The problem is the legs are not flat on the floor. How can I trim the bottom of the legs to get them flat and even with each other?
