When I made these blocks to attach the solid-wood top to a dining table (“English-Inspired Trestle Table,” FWW #310)) I was aiming for the blocks’ shape to be in sympathy with the design of the corbels that act to stiffen the connection of the foot and the brace to the trestle’s post. It’s an example of echoing the overall design even in the smallest of ways.

In this video Paul Sellers shows how to make a simple shooting board from pine. This is an important piece of equipment for woodworking in the hand tool shop as it allows you to make sure the end of a board is either exactly square or exactly forty-five degrees. It also allows you to plane the end of a board straight across without 'break-out' on the far side.

At 1:47 the middle measurement should be 12 1/2" or 320mm. Sorry for the confusion.

Stay safe using a table saw by avoiding trapped workpieces. Learn about push sticks, push pads, and safer cutting methods for effective woodworking.

The primary question to ask is this: Is my workpiece trapped between the fence and the blade during this cut? If the answer is yes, then another question follows: Does it have to be?

I'm guessing I'm not totally alone when I say my head shape doesn't easily fit into the standard oval hat block shape used for most hats.

I have a few of those relatively inexpensive hat stretchers (Hat-jacks) that they sell at just about every good hat store. The first time I used one I was really happy to have found a tool that could help me relieve the front-to-back pressure I get with nearly all hats.

I initially shaped my hat-jacks in a way that I thought was more closely aligned with the actual shape of my head. After using them on multiple hats for more than a year, I was seeing some shortcomings with the design.

• He likes whiteside router bits better than bosch

• 1/8" and 3/8" roundover bits - If roundover is deep, you put a profile on the edge

• The bigger the bit, the slower the speed of the router

• Make a L with your right hand palm down and thumb down. The pointer finger points in the direction to move the router -> clockwise inside, counterclockwise outer.

• Depth of cut should be no deeper than width of bit (1/4" straight bits)

• Dovetail tracks on the workbench??

• Flat side of base against fence

• Tiny router table

Make a small kerf with a knife and a chisel, saw in that.

Look up Paul Sellers on YouTube, he has great hand tools videos.
