WWGOA LIVE is brought to you by:
Congrats on the Philmont trip. As an Eagle, former scoutmaster and three-time Philmont advisor (twice to the Valle Vidal), I know that your scouts benefited greatly from your participation. Thank you for giving your time to do that!
George, Philmont is a great place to enjoy the Scouting experience for you, your son and the other boys. I was lucky enough to go twice, once as a scout and once as an adult. I lost a few lbs too ... think I left them on top of Mt. Baldy! Great service you are providing --- please keep up the great work. All the best, Roy
I just love your response to the question of what project to do as a beginner, etc. You are so right, do what will interest you!! Wonderful thinking! Thanks. I wish I had logged in sooner.

north of boston ma. looks wierd to see you without the mustache. definitely liking the better video quality. I'm an eagle scout as well. what is the best way to square up and flatten a large panel glue up? one of the pieces is longer than the others. i have a ~30" square table top. i have the bosch reaxx table saw which only has 25" capacity. it is also too big for sliding miter and router table. don't own a jointer or surface sander so can only edge joint using the router table. at 30" it's definitely too big for the planer which i used on the panels before gluing up the 3 pieces. 2 were ~11" and one about 7" or so. i did the best i could but couldn't get all the warp out as i used the 3/4" stop on planer. could have also have clamped too hard or pieces were not exactly same thickness. how do you get a flat surface by hand? i have 1 hand plane and a low angle block plane. however blade catches wood and doesn't move or gouges chunks.
When do you need to apply a wood sealer prior to applying a finish?
I'm considering purchasing a drum sander. How do you feel about the usefulness of a drum sander in a home shop? What do you feel are some minimum specifications or features in the drum sander in order to make the purchase worthwhile?
Dust collection for drill press ...what do you recommend?
