Before you do any other maintenance, make sure your jointer's infeed and outfeed tables are parallel or the tool is virtually useless.It may not be the most versatile machine in the shop, but without a jointer to put flat faces and straight edges on the lumber we build with, most of our other machines wouldn't be worth their weight in sawdust. We need true edges and faces on our stock that will ride solidly, smoothly and safely on our machine's tables and against their fences. #woodworking Learn Woodworking, Straight Edges, Joiner, Sawdust, Bandsaw

Probably no one goes into their shop and gazes on their band saw blades with awe and affection. And why should you?

If your shop gets as cold as a meat locker every winter, maybe it's time to install a decent heating system. Climate wise, woodworkers here in coastal California where I live have it awfully good. There are just a handful of scorching days in the summer and only maybe a dozen or so truly frigid nights every winter. Many of the shops I’ve worked in had little or no insulation, and staying toasty in the dead of winter simply meant pulling on an extra sweater before making sawdust. #woodworking Heating Device, Heating Systems, Outside Heaters, Radiant Heaters, Heat Pump System, Weatherstripping

Let’s imagine for a moment that the old woodworking adage, “You can never have enough clamps,” isn’t true. If you really did have enough clamps, where would you put them all?Fortunately, that’s a problem none of us will have to worry about, but what about the clamps we do have? If you’re like me, even though you don’t have enough clamps, you do have quite a lot. And with a lot of clamps of varying sizes and types, the key to storing clamps is accessibility. #woodworking #woodworker #woodshop Woodworking Clamps, Steel Pegboard, Drill Press Table, Adage, Shop Layout

A shop well-stocked with lumber is a beautiful thing—unless, of course, the lumber is so jumbled you can't find what you need. Cut through the chaos with our sturdy tiered lumber racks. Each shelf holds up to 110 pounds and offers just over 6'' of vertical space, minimizing the need to stack and unstack to find the piece you need. Of course, you can also use them to store long or unwieldy items like skis, ladders, sawhorses, long pipe clamps and much more. #woodworking #woodworker #woodshop Woodworking Plan, Long Pipe, 110 Pounds, Sawhorse, Shelf Supports

Turn any shop vacuum with a 2-1/4'' ID outlet into a 2-stage dust and chip separator. When used with most power tools and shop vacuums, the Dust Right® Separator captures sawdust, wood chips, and other debris before it enters your vacuum, preventing the loss of suction power caused by a clogged vacuum filter. The five-caster base makes it exceptionally stable and easy to maneuver around the shop. #woodworking #giftidea #woodworker Vacuum Filter, Wood Chips, Wood Working For Beginners
