Roof Sheathing Temperature without Radiant Barrier

In the middle of a sunny day, my roof sheathing was getting to over 115 deg., which re-radiates to the rest of my shop. Right when you walk in you feel the blasting heat. By installing radiant barriers, especially at the roof, I've lowered the…

Sam Maloof-Woodshop Rocker in Progress

Another peak in Sam Maloof's shop, which is an active shop still. I was lucky enough to capture a nearly completed rocking chair.

I love my center-finder measuring tape (on the left) and really love my flexible cabinet-maker's tape signed by Norm Abram when he visited the Orange, CA Rockler store. I waited in line 40 minutes.I asked him why don't they do outtakes on New Yankee…

ApprenticeBobby Hagstrom replied to Mike Dillen's discussion My shop rebuild

"I didn't realize how much stuff I had before I cleaned off all my tables and put it all in rows on the floor. If things don't have a "home" then they hang out on the bench or table saw. I still have to put things away…"

ApprenticeBobby Hagstrom replied to steven newman's discussion Homemade Tablesaw Fence?

"I had a Delta Bench saw I got for $150 when I first started the fence had to be adjusted with a speed square, so I sometimes use a piece of wood because it was safer than the junk that came with it. Kickback was the main thing that got me to…"

"Nice! That could be the Batman chair. You could echo the upward swoop of the armrest as viewed in the 2nd picture. In other words, keep the "ears" but make them subtle and follow the curve the armrests make when viewed…"

Profile Information

Please tell us about yourself.: I’m a woodworker in CA who is lucky enough to own a 3-car garage woodshop. I've been woodworking since college (engineering), got addicted to the New Yankee Workshop, and it exploded from there. Now, I'm focusing on my woodshop design and making stuff whenever I get the chance. I "sneak" niches in time to be in the shop.

Please describe your main woodworking interests.: I've had the creative bug since I was a kid, wanting glue and popsicle sticks over "pre-made" toys. When I learned more about the world of woodworking I started buying the tools I needed to make what I imagined into actual objects.

At 4:05am on October 31, 2010, Master CarpenterRalph Allen Jones said…: Good Morning Bobby,
I am pleased that you liked my tutorials for they are the ones I used when I was teaching Vocational Carpentry and the apprenticeship program.
In regard to the radial arm saws I am against them unless they have the retainer spring attached to hold the saw back till you pull it across the lumber. The reason being that I saw a man cut his hand off because he did not shut the saw off and was placing wood on the table and the saw drifted down and when it caught the wood it ran across the wood while cutting his hand off in one quick instant.

I don't, nor won't have one in my shop due to that very reason. Even while running my table saw with out the guard on, I shut the saw off after each pass till I am ready to run another piece through. Around equipment like that one can never be too safety minded.
When not being used the saw blade is cranked down below the table top.
