  1. #AskFedi #WoodWorkers #WoodShop #Cleaning #Sawdust

    How do I clean sawdust from an old shop? I can’t pressure wash the building interior because the electrical is iffy. I can’t trust that hidden conduits are sealed.

    Static electricity is a real problem, though I could wait for monsoon season to raise the humidity.

    I have a dumb shop vac and a Nifilsk vac (small, but excellent filtration.)

    How do I avoid blowing myself up? 😀

  3. Someone shared making it podcast with me, it's great, looking for others which are similar. #Creators, #geeks, #hackers, #woodworkers, #diy

  5. General question for #woodworkers and artists. Do you get scammers inquiring about unfinished projects? I just posted an end grain board and have multiple inquiries about buying it. It feels a little fishy.

  6. Any #woodworkers out there, especially British ones who know what I mean when i say "I have a *small* garage workshop"...

    Anyone got recommendations on cheap but functional electric thicknessers and planers for stock preparation?

    I am tired of flattening, squaring, and thicknessing by hand with a 100+yr old hand-plane. But I don't have much space, and I don't do enough woodwork to warrant spending very much.

    More a question of if there's anything worth bothering with given those constraints?

  8. #Rowan aka #MountainAsh #tree #berries. Some birds feed on them. We have a tree that's been in our backyard since before our family bought our property in the early 90s.

    There's also a big one growing at Welland Community Orchard too - they planted it there to boost pollination for one hybrid grafted fruit tree - one of the grafts are in the rowan family.

    I harvest their berries to use for #PlantBased #NaturalDye making. They have high tannins in them.

    #Woodworkers like the dense wood of rowan trees for carving/turning & making tool handles & walking canes.

  10. For all the #woodworking folks: James Wright (Wood by Wright) is running a survey, asking #woodworkers about how they practice their craft. It's pretty short! Please fill out and share. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI

  14. @tailsy good recommendations in the replies. Lots of great DIY track saws on YouTube.

    If you can’t buy a premade tracksaw, diy is viable w/ basic materials (the route I took). Lots of videos too on how to make a table saw out of a corded circular saw. I did that w/ a router table, same principle.

    See Dekay’s Crafts and AllFlavor on Youtube for diy shop equipment (safe) and working w/ plywood.
    So many good #woodworkers on YouTube.

  16. #guild of #oregon #woodworkers is running an estate sale tomorrow in #Hillsboro guildoforegonwoodworkers.org/B
    I don’t need anything, but I might go to see what there is - often good deals on used tools/shop equipment.

  18. This is my push stick.
    There are many like it, but this one is mine.
    Without me, my push stick is nothing.
    Without my push stick, I am taking unnecessary risk.

    Saw safely.
