  1. I know that Radial Arm saws are not in favor these days , but what can I say I cut my teeth on these saws and have my old Craftsman set up for cross cutting. I use it for just that purpose, no angles or ripping. The saw is known for making lots of saw dust and it piles up in the most inconvenient place, behind the saw. I rigged up a dust collection box behind the blade that the blade is buried in when not in use. The dust collector 6" duct is attached to the top of the box, the front of the box is the fence. Then I made a ZC insert for the blade that slides in and out of the table to the front with a dado under where the saw blade cuts that extends back to the DC box. This system works 98% to remove the saw dust, and the ZC is replaceable. Herb
  2. From the album: Shaker Furniture

    After I cut the tenons out, I took them from square to round in just few minutes, testing the fit as I went.
  3. From the album: Shaker Furniture

    I like the really slather the glue on with these, then I hammered home the walnut wedge to secure the front leg tenon to the arm.
  4. From the album: Shaker Furniture

    Still working on the arm narrow, it's almost there, but not quite, it's all by eye, whatever looks pleasing, is when I'll stop.
  5. From the album: Shaker Furniture

    After I was satisfied with the tenon fit, I shaped more of the arm at the tenon area.
  6. From the album: Shaker Furniture

    I finally got a decent fit for the arm tenon.
  7. From the album: Shaker Furniture

    I rotated the arm and cut the other side (shoulders I guess you could say, but since it's a round tenon, what is it really?)

    Laying Out Arm Tenon

    From the album: Shaker Furniture

    The tenons for the arms had to be layed out and cut by hand. Since the arms are irregular in shape, the lathe could not be used to shape the tenons as I have done with all the tenons in this chair. I laid out the 5/8" tenon a tad wide to accommodate any error in my making of the tenon, I'd rather shave down, than try to make it back up.

    Shaping Arms

    From the album: Shaker Furniture

    The arms of the New Lebanon Transitional rocker need to be shaped by draw knife and then refined with a combination of chisels and final sanding. I am using my Ebay find, a James Swanson Draw Knife, it's a joy to use.
  10. I have this genetic thin skin on my forearms which causes me to bleed very easily when I bump into something or scrape against something. This is a real pain in the rear when woodworking as getting blood out of wood grain is not easy as well as having big red marks and scabs on my arms. When it is cooler I wear long sleeve shirts, but when it is hot during the summer it gets a bit rough. So after banging my arm yet again the other day I was rather annoyed and was debating about putting on a long sleeve shirt in the 90+ degree heat in the garage. Then it hit me and I thought about those compression sleeves that athletes wear to protect their arms as well as making them smoother with less friction against other players. So I headed over to my local Sports Authority store and picked up the cheapest pair I could find which was $9.99 (they have similar ones with logos of the big name companies all the way up to $30 but still the same materials). I have to say that I really like these sleeves as they are much cooler than wearing a regular long sleeve shirt and they fit very snug around the wrist so nothing dangling to get caught in a spinning bit or blade. Most important I didn't get my arms banged up.
