I made this jig some months ago thinking it would be very helpful. But now months later, I cannot remember why I made it or how to use it. It looks clever enough to have come from Sawinery. I welcome a reference, a link. Or general advice. Many thanks.

Just a follow up on Rich Murphy's comment on purchasing good blades. If one purchases a table saw blade that is not flat, the run out (or slight wobble), will rarely be satisfactory and often noisy. Woodworking is not an inexpensive hobby, but if one does not a good quality blade, almost all cuts will challenging. A good quality blade, either standard kerf or thin kerf, will run whisper quiet and will cut smoothly. Sharpening will not make a difference. I'm not suggesting a $150 blade, but some bargain blades are not designed for the smooth cuts that many woodworkers seek. Be good to yourself and shop for a $40 or $50 blade. The likely increase in quality will be worth the slightly higher price. Good luck.

Many of us start woodworking for the love of creating. Over time, some begin asking just like i did: how can this passion also become something sustainable, whether that means funding new tools, selling projects, or even building a brand? I’ve been reflecting on this and noticed that while technical skill is essential, having a clear process or system for growth makes all the difference. Some woodworkers already have methods in place, others are still figuring it out. Both are valid starting points. I’d love to open up a discussion: 1. Do you already follow a system or process that helps you grow your woodworking into something sustainable? 2. If not, what’s the biggest challenge you face in moving from hobby to business? I’m always eager to learn from different perspectives. And if anyone is looking for fresh ideas, I’m happy to share a few approaches I’ve seen help other creators take things to the next level. Looking forward to hearing how others here are navigating this journey.

Hello, my family and i restore boats in Florida. We salvage many good pieces of hardwood. They are mostly smaller planks and pieces. I am looking for ideas on what to make with them that i can sell and make some money. Since I am a novice looking for something not extremely complicated. Thank you

Do you ever work outside? If so what do you use for a workbench or work surface out there?
