Very cool....old tools and a dedicated space to use them. But, how do you get sheets of plywood up there?

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm1.staticflickr.com-1435-1322116791.1.jpg) Those stairs. I can't believe how clean they look in this picture! This was back the day I bought my 914 in Oct of 2005. Once the sheet is up enough, I pitch it over the side onto the attic floor. A 3/4 inch 4x8 sheet of ply makes it a delicate maneuver. Happily all the plywood lately was cut over the summer for the shed, so I was just bringing up remnants. Zach |

Zach, I've been a professional cabinetmaker for 40 years. My delta 5 horse table saw has a fence that will rip 99", but i started with a craftsman similar to yours. I've thrown many boards at the wall, and some of them into my gut. had one hit me in the belt buckle breaking it, bruised my abdomen, and put me on the floor. They bind for one reason only. The fence is not square to the blade. The arbor is adjustable and the blade must be set square to the mitre gauge slots in the table top. then the fence must be set square with the slot each time its locked down. I have a Biesemeyer fence now. squares itself everytime. I've also had 4 of my fingers surgically reattached, and 3 are now permanently deformed, so I can say, please be careful and always use a push stick and hold downs for the small pieces.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My dad had one of those when I was in high school. I had a sheet of plywood shoot back at me while building a speaker box. Knocked the wind out of me so bad I didn;t realizemy middle finger was split in two by the blade until I saw a puddle of blood on the floor. Ask me to show you the scar next ti,e I see you. GET A GOOD FENCE !!! |

Bring the table saw downstairs to make all the initial cuts in plywood..or even better, have home depot do it for you....

Zach, sorry for your loss. I think it's great that you put such an emphasis on the sentimental value of those tools.... I have a similar situation.
My one grandfather passed when I was just a few months old, so I never knew him. My father has a pristine set of S-K wrenches that were his dad's. My father was a wood-worker, and has never used them. I have no interest/skill in woodworking, but I have been wrenching ever since I was about 12. I keep asking my dad to pass on those tools so I can use them, but he says I have to wait until he's gone. I think my old man just likes to tease me 'cause he knows how much I want them...... May your grandfather's legacy live on! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

My fingers don't get near the blade and I never push the wood w/o a pusher once the wood is on the table. These were things my grandfather bored into my brain.
The fence was a good lesson learned. Zach |

Zack,
I had a ton of leftover cuts of plywood and 2 gallons of glue and couldn't figure out what to do with the scraps. You can always create glued lam beams out of the scraps as long as you lap them over each other and press them or clamp well. You can then create a custom built support for your shelves as well. The only added cost is the glue - HF is a good cheap source. 50 lb bags of sand or Sakrete make a good top sandwich press when gluing the lams. Use the newer pieces of plywood 1st if you do so as they are greener, so to speak and respond better to pressing... Nice workshop Santa (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) |
