I often need to cut or recut several small pieces way too small to hand hold and pass through the table saw. To accomplish this safely and cut several at once I take a length of straight flat board lay down a strip or two of double sided tape as needed and stick as many of the small pieces as possible to the straight board. I leave a couple of inches on the lead end and a couple of inches on the trailing end to make the entry and exit safer. I use this double sided tape it holds like super glue, this stuff www.amazon.com/dp/B07BBL4JXJ To get a release you can simply try to twist twist the pieces to shear the tape grip but if the pieces are small or delicate use some denatured alcohol on the tape it will release nice with just a little twist or prying up with a thin edge. Best to replace the tape for each run. The picture shows the setup calabrese55

Thinking New Table Saw Time
honesttjohn posted a topic in Machinery, Tools, Research, Reviews and Safety
My old Craftsman (13 model) keeps giving me fits. Pulleys won't stay lined up and that leads to a lot of vibration and heat. Looking at a new replacement table saw. I don't need anything fancy so a low end entry level small shop one should work ($1200 +/-). I also have to get it down to the basement and the doorway is 29 inches wide. Been considering the Laguna F1, but there seems to be a quality and alignment with them. The Grizz 962 looks promising, but the fence isn't the greatest ----- but I have a Vega fence on the Craftsman if it'll fit. Also looked at the Delta from Lowes, but there seems to be a motor problem with them. Jet is a maybe, too. There seems to be some type of problem with all of them. Any opinions on where to spend my money? -
Last few times I have used my Stanley No. 45.....setting the fence was getting to be a PITA, needing a pair of pliers to even move those thumscrews.. Were so nasty in the threads, hard to turn...needed replaced. Hard to find a pair of Stanley made thumbscrews, let alone a Tap to chase the threads...so.. While at Lowes the other day, picked up a Tap & Drill bit set...1/4" x 20....as that was as close as I could get to match the old holes. I also picked up a pair of new 1/4" x 20 Thumbscrews. Removing the old thumbscrews involved a pair of pliers... I also needed to match the tip on the new bolt.. As that pointed end works better against the rods. So, once I did find the correct tap wrench ( and clean it up) and fit the new tap in the wrench..( I tried the drill bit to match the Tap, it just dropped right through, and wasn't needed) Cast iron usually is fine, without oil on the tap.....Test the new bolt for fit.. Grab a rod from the 45's case, and check that it will work and easy to lock/unlock... I think that will do..repeat for the other bolt.. Project done..load stuff back into the case... Close the lid, And place this back up on it's shelf.... Thanks for looking in

Need to seal new fence with water and uv protection. Thompson does not list uv protection but search says it does. . Any ideas for the job?

This was going to be a bird house front. I started with a cedar fence board and you can see how it came out. My wife may want to use it as it is and hang it from a small tree. She is not sure yet, so for the time being it is a bench ornament

Today we found out that Uncle Sugar is handing out more money. I don’t agree with it but since they send it I’ll spend it. I’m going to upgrade my fence system on my 1947 Delta Unisaw. It’s a great saw but the OEM fence needs replaced. Here’s my question. Which fence do you have? Love it? Hate it? What would you buy?

I made this windmill about a year ago. I used an in line skate roller with ball bearings for the center hub. About a week ago I looked out and it was gone. I found the parts scattered in my neighbors yard. We had some wind gusts over 50 mph and I figure something let loose and it flew apart. So I gathered up pieces and saved what I could. Today I reassembled it and strengthened it at the weak points. Next step it to put a tiny generator on it to light a light, any ideas where to find one? Each vane is about 8" long

Maybe this should be in the "Free for all" But it is made of wood. Our fence between homes is 5 ft high. My wife is short and can not reach far enough to pet our neighbors Bloodhound. So she turned a flower pot over and stood on it..........till it collapsed. So she wanted a step that would be strong. I made one with 4"x4" legs screwed to the fence. If this one falls......so will the fence

I made a couple of these for my family and got another request for a couple more. I made them out of Cedar fencing boards and painted with some fence stain/preservative. I made each finger and then joined with glue. After the glue set, I made a cut thru the knuckle and put in a spline. I also drilled all the way thru the fingers and glued in a small dowel to hold the fingers together. The childrens sunglasses came from the Dollar store

I went over and left these plans. He wasn't home so I left him this. I think he should consider this for he would be the talk of the town.

My daughter wanted me to make her an old time santa head that she could hang on her porch. This is what I came with. The back board is about 28" x 11". I built it as I went along, revising, removing, adding, etc. I made it out of fencing cedar. She didn't mention color, I like the . wood grain showing. I hope she likes it,

Again from old fence -
Right after I posted about a saw fence to replace a "stock" job-site fence on a few sites, things got a bit crazy. The fence is a home-made "T" square sort of thingy. Just three pieces of scrap. Can be clamped to the rail on a Job Site Saw to replace a flimsy stock one, can be clamped to a board as a speed square, a saw guide, or even a router guide. Kind of fuzzy ( we're working on that issue) but this is set up as a saw guide to do a straight line rip. Anyway, one of the sites this cheap little fence was posted on was The American Woodworker. Project hits/views are now OVER 17,000! Ok, just three pieces of scrap wood? Maybe six or so screws? Maybe this will go "virial"???
