Re: Opinions on Alpine Workshop?

 

Hi Brandon,?

I'd say that the April "Advanced Joinery" class has broad applicability for just about anyone planning on working in a shop environment, as Joe spends a lot of time on safe work practices. There's a lot of focus on mortise and tenon joinery, but part of that is a demonstration of how to perform the same operation on different machines. So, you'd make one set of tenons on a shaper, another set of tenons with a sliding saw and band saw, etc...?

I'm signed up for the "Tilt and Turn" class in May. While I don't have immediate plans to produce tilt/turn windows, many of the skills/techniques are adjacent to what I'm doing, so there's still a benefit for me to attend. I took the Entry Door class last year, and plan to circle back to it again in a few years. ?

Hope you enjoy a fun and informative time.

Re: Felder bf6-31 table top alignment?

 

Thanks Greg,
I was hoping to avoid moving the jointer outfeed table but at this point it looks like that might be the way I need to go. I ended up need to move the saw table a little because the dovetail ways were not parallel with each other. Looks like it will be a little while till I can use this machine. If anyone else has any thoughts I am all ears.
Thanks again?
Re: The Wood Whisperer's first Felder toy

 

Hey PK
When I heard Marc reference the Felder group, I immediately thought of Bill Bélanger, but it's only a guess!
It is nice to see somebody with a big following on YouTube singing Felder's praises.
Cheers
David

Adam! That video was wonderful. I loved watching the various masters wield each of the tools. Just think how sharp the kanna blade has to be to achieve shavings that fine! Loved it. Thanks for sharing.?

Warm regards,
Lucky

Thank you, Lucky. That is an excellent lead. The surface does indeed seem to have been created with either a chouna (Japanese adze) or a related tool. (Note that the photos are all of the same door, just taken from different distances.)

Based on your prompt I found this that shows the various Japanese milling techniques and the associated tools.?

Now I just need to find someone locally who can produce this effect on a thousand sf of paneling... ???♂?

Re: How to achieve this surface finish?

 

The curved bottom Makita?1002BA planer is also used to create adze-like surfaces.

Here's just a few seconds of a famous Japanese artist who's done some interesting wood finishes:



Here's using it to more directly simulate adze on timber-framed building.

Re: The Wood Whisperer's first Felder toy

 

I remember when he first posted to the old Festool FOG. "Hey, I'm making some videos, check them out". Man, that was a long time ago. He sure made a lot of progress after that.?
Re: Opinions on Alpine Workshop?

 

Thanks to everyone for the input. I was wondering if people would come back with "if you aren't making windows, don't bother", but it sounds like everyone had had an overwhelmingly positive experience. I'll be signing up for the April class. Anyone else going to meet me there?
Re: Felder bf6-31 table top alignment?

 

If you lift the jointer table up you can see two large bolts where it is fixed to the hinge mechanism. The table has oval slots in that location, so there is room to nudge it back into alignment with the saw chassis. But before you do that it mght be a good idea to take careful measurements from whatever reference surface you can use to ensure the outfeed table remains flat and parallel to the infeed once adjusted.

As it is now there will be an approximately 4” zone (at approximately 13”+/-) where the rip fence cannot straddle the gap between the tables.
Re: Felder bf6-31 table top alignment?

 

Sorry John Just saw your replies. Not sure about the splitter yet, it seems ok but I have not checked it with anything as I have bigger problems.?
Thanks for all the help/suggestions. Got a few hours over the passed few nights mess with it a little. I squared up my fence to the front of the table and indicated off of that. At 90 was 3 thou wider at the back. At 45 it was off a lot more than that and was tighter at the back. I moved the fence to recheck it tonight after moving the trunnion a bit and found what I think is a bigger problem. The dovetail on the front of the saw top is a heavy 1/16" in front of the jointer planer dovetail. In the picture below the jointer is on the towards the bottom and saw table towards the top. I have not fully checked the jointer calibration yet other than jointing some boards and everything came out straight and square. The previous owner said he had not touched the outfeed of the jointer and judging by the paint/bolts that appears true. It looks like I have a little clearance room between the cutterhead and jointer bed to move it forward but was really hoping not to mess with that. Anyone dealt with this/have suggestions? I drove from NY to PA with this, about 4hrs, I imagine something moved just not sure where to start the check.
Thanks in advance for any help at all,
Adam

Hi Adam, I can’t tell with regard to the latter photos, but that first photo looks like the surface was textured with a small Japanese adze (tachibana) by hand. There are plenty of videos online. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.?

Hi all.

I’ve been trying for months to decide on a surface finish for the paneling of a spa room. I was at the Portland (OR) Japanese Garden last week and saw an interesting treatment on an exterior door that I think would work beautifully. However, I’m not clear on how they achieved the look and would love y’all’s advice. (Photos of the door are included below.) It kind of looks like they used a scrub plane across the grain, but the varying widths of the cuts has me in some doubt.?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.?

Hey PK,

It’s interesting, I asked Mark S. about ever owning a slider about 2-1/2 years ago. ?His response to me was, no need for one.

Lol, he’ll come around. ????

He said in the video that he had help from a 'Felder Owners Group'...

So Dan, it must be this one right?

Agree on the phase perfect...

Just a matter of time til he has a slider in that new shop!? The world will be new again for him!

Hi Mike:

?

Apologies for the delayed reply. Actually, I’ve only just played around with making Kumiko on the tablesaw. To date I’ve always made them by hand. But I plan on making a hexagonal Kumiko jig for an upcoming project on my front doors. I’ll try to remember to share here.

?

Have you made a jig?

Warm regards,

Lucky
