We had a guest for this session: Joni Van Dusartz. Joni has been woodworking for over 20 years, including running a commercial cabinet shop. From CNC to finishing, Joni has a lot of woodworking experience. She brought along some of her intarsia for “show and tell,” which lead to some great questions.

How does the finish hold up with cup or glass rings?
Hello. I’ve been scrolling for at least 25 years. I bought a DeWalt scroll saw about 20 years ago at a Woodcraft store in Santa Rosa, CA. I’ve used it LOTS (almost daily) for 20+ years. It’s starting to not hold a true/perfect angle for bowl/basket/crafty things, and making more noise than it used to. I have a friend who’s recommended I buy a Excalibur since I do a lot of scrolling now that I’m retired. But another friend said he’d trade his new (black) Excalibur straight across to get his DeWalt (like I have) back. Does anybody have any input as to Excalibur (made now in China) and a new DeWalt? My husband said he read the DeWalt life span is not much more than 5-7 years! HELP someone, please. Thanks, Susan Schneider (360 620-3870) or susan@rv-ing4life.com
Any tips on how to create the bottom reveal on an inset drawer? Add a thin hardwood layer to the case runners?
Hi Kenn. It depends on the drawer style that you build. I apply false drawer fronts to the drawer box after the drawer has been installed, using a spacer on the bottom and sides to establish a consistent gap. If your drawer front is integrated into the box, then the approach that you describe is a good one.

Is there a quick and recommended way to align jointer blades on a jointer where the outfeed table is not adjustable? I have a Delta 6″ benchtop jointer.
Hello Chris,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
Sure. You can use a knife setting jig like this one to align the knife height to the outfeed table: https://amzn.to/3pYLZpW

Why is it recommended to route conter -clockwise? Going the other direction there be less chance of chip out.
Hello T,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:
You should always route in a direction that the feed rate opposes the spinning router bit’s direction. The feed is different for inside vs. outside routing.

Look forward to seeing the new products that are coming out.
Is an adjustable height table router worth the cost of a new table?
Hi Dale,
Thank you for contacting us.
It depends on how important the adjustability is to you. Some people find this feature to be very valuable.
