Query 1:
From Daniel:
I’m at the moment following together with Mike’s Foundations of Woodworking e-book, which I’m actually having fun with, nevertheless, I’m confused about one of the best ways to mill skinny (1/4, 5/eighth) inventory (which he makes use of loads within the e-book) and I haven’t discovered a whole lot of assist on-line.
I’ve tried just a few strategies, however was questioning should you might chat about what steps you comply with when attempting to mill skinny inventory like that. My first thought was to resaw on the bandsaw, nevertheless, the boards cup like loopy after which there isn’t sufficient materials left to re-dimension them on the jointer.
I attempted planing down from 3/4 inch, however that simply feels very wasteful.
Query 2:
From Mike:
I’m engaged on a pair items primarily based on Mike’s wenge Tea Field. For the clasps, Mike makes it sound simple to face the block with a skinny strip of ebony as soon as the magnets are put in.
However what’s a secure solution to make these skinny strips of ebony within the first place? I’m used to slicing store veneers on the bandsaw, however that’s with a lot bigger items of inventory. Doing that with reasonably priced (tiny) items of ebony is one other factor altogether.

Query 3:
From Rob:
Kia ora from New Zealand
I loved listening to the latest episode (262) the place there was speak concerning the order during which instruments ought to be purchased. Haunting newbie boards on Fb exhibits this can be a Incessantly Argued Query! I couldn’t agree extra {that a} planer is extra helpful than a jointer, although the comfort of getting each is superior.
From the US perspective, evidently the gadgets are nearly all the time purchased individually, but elsewhere mixture machines are extra frequent.
My perspective can be that I might afford to purchase a really top quality planer/thicknesser whereas shopping for the identical high quality machines as separate gadgets would have been prohibitive, each in cash and store flooring area. I at the moment use an 8″ deWalt planer/thicknesser and have plans to improve to the 16″ Hammer A441. I don’t really want a 16″ jointer, however the 16″ planer is turning into important as I love to do large stuff and I discover the 8″ most thicknessing capability fairly limiting. Shopping for a mix machine means one footprint, one motor, as soon as casing, one mud collector port, and critically one very costly cutter block, the damage on which from jointing is in fact going to be minimal – mainly you get a jointer/planer combo for less than simply over half the price of shopping for equal machines individually, or you would argue that you just get a 16″ jointer for the value of a 6″ should you purchase the planer with it…
What do you all suppose? Do you purchase separates since you all the time have? Since you want a wider planer than jointer? Since you don’t just like the changeover? – actually to listen to ideas on why it’s that separate machines have been so standard the place the logical method appears to be to purchase a mix machine.
