Glueing over Shellac
Written by Ken Kyler   
Sunday, 05 June 2005

There was a discussion on my favorite woodworking bulletin board about applying glue over shellac.  I conducted a simple test using some cherry scrap and regular Titebond.  The photo below shows the pieces glued (the glue was allowed to dry clamped for 2 days) and my favorite inlay hammer.

Cherry Cradle
Written by Ken Kyler   
Sunday, 10 April 2005
I made this cherry cradle for my new granddaughter.  It was made using the Woodsmith plans from PlansNow.  I bought the kit with the pre-made spindles.  I recommend that you chuck the spindles up in the drill press and sand/finish them there.  I have a small drill press lathe that works good for that.

Jointing with a Planer
Written by Ken Kyler   
Sunday, 03 April 2005
Everyone who has a 6" jointer eventually runs into the situation where they need to joint a wider board.  There are several different techniques to do this with a planer.  I've seen some very fancy sleds made for this job.  I prefer a simpler approach.  Here's my technique.

I make a sled using 1" thick plywood that has paper facing on both sides and slides through the planer quite nicely.  Unlike 3/4" plywood, these slabs have yet to twist or warp.  I'm 100% confident that I have a stable, flat surface.
