Love the banter on stropping! Now if I could win the sharpening box I could make more educated decisions on the topic! If I don’t win I will have to stop at Woodcraft in Manchester so Bob can sell me the parts and pieces to make my own.
Would love to win the sharpening box! You guys do a GREAT job! I look forward to every episode!
Re: panel glue up… the best way I’ve heard of is to stand all the edges that need glue up side by side, then apply the glue in a thin layer to all the pieces at once with a paint roller, then all you have to do is lay them down (especially good if you do it on top of clamps already laid out where they need to be) and tighten it up.
49:16 … Finally! The subject of this video
After watching this I can’t wait for Bob’s new book to come out “The answers to the how and why of woodworking”. Great show!
Answer to question 1: try putting the compound on the rough (suede) side of the leather. Use that side with compound, and the smooth side without. Save you 15 minutes of your day.
Love having Bob and Mike on the podcast together! Great chemistry…
I’ve had the same issue with stopping compound flaking off. My experience is that it is caused by having too much compound on my strop.
Turning into Strop Talk Live over here.
My father was a printer for over 40 years, I worked with/for him for 8 years and I was lucky enough to get his old tool box for Christmas now that he is retired. I was listening to this episode well cleaning it up before I put my favorite woodworking tools into it. Loved conversation about how as you get older your father gets smarter. Wisdom of age from both sides.
Ok. So worst case scenario. I’ve killed my lumber to final dimensions in a single day. Wrong! I know! And then, to compound the error, I don’t weigh it down. It cups. Ugh. If I weigh it down for …n days… will it flatten? Do I need to bend it past the cup to it to settle mid point?
Just wanting to clarify some comments on stickering and drying wood. It was mentioned that it was not a good move to mil to part to size, and then sticker. It was also stated that you sticker to allow wood to move. You actually sticker to keep wood from moving. Think of it like bent laminating. The wood drying while being held straight in stickers is like the bent wood/glue drying locking in a bend. Stickering is always a good idea if your wood is in an environment condusive to the wood loosing more moisture. It is at risk for moving if left on its own, and not held in a straight shape.
Well look at that, you guys had my question on this episode! First, all good with guard – he did give me the guard (that he didn’t use for almost 20 years) so we’re all good there. Ben, appreciate the feedback specifically on moving fence over, most practical. Again, I’ve used a jointer for years and didn’t believe there was a magic answer here, but I thought I’d throw it out there. There’s just something different about hearing this machine hum verse my old 6” that simply fortified that respect I already had. Thanks again for the response – nice job as always and perfect timing on the jointer set up article. Take care.
Sure could use a box like that to store my sharpening gear. Love your shows. I either listen while at the gym or watch eating lunch
It’s all about the grain. Dubbing! Best outro yet.
I could use a great looking sharpening box like the one Bob build for the over of issue 254.
