Wow, Popular Magazined advises dangerous procedures

machine in my shop although it's size is a lot of the problem. You can flatten a board in a planer with the right sled/jig and you can very easily straighten a board with the TS with the right jig/sled. IMHO the jointer is not essential.

WARN Nameservers on separate class C's WARNING: All of your nameservers (listed at the parent nameservers) are in the same Class C (technically, /24) address space, which means that they are probably at the same physical location. Your nameservers should be at geographically dispersed locations. You should not have all of your nameservers at the same location. RFC2182 3.1 goes into more detail about secondary nameserver location. PASS All NS IPs public OK. All of your NS records appear to use public IPs. If there were any private IPs, they would not be reachable, causing DNS delays. WARN TCP Allowed WARNING: One or more of your DNS servers does not accept TCP connections. Although rarely used, TCP connections are occasionally used instead of UDP connections. When firewalls block the TCP DNS connections, it can cause hard-to-diagnose problems. The problem servers are:

What an oddly descriptive addy.

Truly a noob and a wannabe noob at that. Resorting to posting the easily obtained by anyone and public whois information of a person who he's trying to flame war with, as some sort of "wonder weapon" is a sure sign of desparation and untenable position.

$100 says he speaks fluent 1337...or webtv.

and a recent graduate from AOL. ...or maybe he didn't graduate...

Having fun asshat? Go ahead, it's not like anyone with half a clue couldn't have done the same thing.

Prick.

Blog Me!

Especially since Brian H. is a frequent and respectable poster here.

It happens!

Personally, I'd be afraid to post what he did. It works for him, but he is completely aware and comfortable with the physics of the operation.

Unfortunately, I just know somebody will get a glove stuck, and his personal injury lawyer will be contacting Mr. Huey and the magazine.

I hear ya'.

Only if you email him...

Wow. You're so cool.

Come back when you learn what a jointer is for.

And to further confuse things, our English brethren have the right (IMHO) names for these machines: A planer (Am. "jointer") creates a surface or edge in a single plane, while a thicknesser (Am. "Planer") creates a board of uniform thickness (NOT one in a single plane).

Then you've never removed twist from a board.

Just for jollies, go to a big box and buy an 8' 2x8 with twist that you can see. The follow your procedure on one 4' length of that board with noticeable twist, until you are not able to discern any twist with your winding sticks. For comparison, face joint one face of the other board before thicknessing the opposite face.

What are the thicknesses of the two resulting dressed, non-twisted boards?

That's why they refer to these particular shows as DYI (Do Yourself In) shows rather than DIY (Do It Yourself)!

What;'s "freehanding" ? Wiggling a line in plywood is one thing, but Maloof is doing it in three dimensions. That means you've little support under the workpiece, and support you do have is some distance (i.e. a lever arm) away from the blade. Have the blade catch, and the work slams downwards, bending a crimp into the blade.

I do this, but I can't say I enjoy it. I also lose blades by doing it. The trick is to have a _big_ bandsaw, which just never catches.

I *thought* a couple folks misunderstood what i meant by freehanding. You, of course, nailed it.
