The Rye Cellar

After a long time away, getting back into the woodworking game a little bit, mostly unscathed. Note to self (and anyone else who needs to know): NEVER wear gloves while running the table saw. Or any other power tools, for that matter.

I need to learn more about my jointer. I eventually got it set up to where edge-jointing pine seemed really good, but when I ran a 9” piece of 34” long 8/4 Red Oak through it, the edge came out concave. I think the board was just too heavy for this jointer and created some flex in the tables. Whatever it was, I decided to try out a jointer sled for the table saw, with the help of some hot glue to keep the board on the sled. Seems to have worked pretty well!

Somebody got a new toy. I mean “tool”. Not a toy...definitely won’t have fun using this.

It needs some setup, but I’m excited to learn how to use my new 8” jointer!! Perfect size for a small shop like mine.

I’ve got so many projects on my list, I better get to work ASAP!
