Free Stuff and Links
This page is where I will be posting what I think is useful information, plans and links. They are free to download and use, I simply ask that you maintain my credit for them.
Come back often, I'll be adding stuff pretty routinely.
Guide Bushing Offset?
Shop Made Measures
I like having measuring tapes on my jigs and fixtures, but hate paying for a 3 or 4 foot measure and only using 6-12 inches. So I made my own using my CAD program and printer. Here is a PDF file with instructions, and even a .dxf of my layout for your CAD program.
Miter Gauge Extension Fence
You invested in a good saw, but if it will be a while until you can save enough for an aftermarket Miter Gauge, this plan is for you. I'll show you how to make a sliding extension for your gauge, and how to set the stops. As a bonus, I also show you how to add Rockler's new Flip Stop. PDF
Curved Molding Jig for the Woodmaster
Plans for building a new adjustable bedboard for your Woodmaster Planer/Molder to guide curved moldings of varying radii.
You'll need Rockler's Roller Guides PDF
Improved Guide Rails for the Woodmaster
Improved guide rail plans for your Woodmaster Planer/Molder. The outfeed ends are narrower to support molding that are cut on the sides, providing reduced chatter and tear out.
Shop Built Blocks to match your existing K-Body clamps with your new Revo clamps
Bessey's new Revo clamps are great, but they are not the same dimentions as your older K-Body clamps. These blocks allow you to clamp panels mixing the two types. PDF
Shop Built Center Blocks.
These handy center blocks add a solid support in the center for clamping two or more smaller parts in one clamp setup. They help resist the crowning as you apply clamp pressure. PDF

Links
Here are some links to sites I think are worth passing along:
A really wide selection of woodworking tools, supplies and hardware.
Woodworking tools and blog!
Woodshop Machines is a New England equipment dealer. Bob Rougvie is my go to guy for equipment solutions and tooling questions. I've worked with him for more than 10 years and he's always been honest and reliable.
I've been writing articles for Woodworker's Journal for about 6 years. They have useful information in their Woodworker's Resource pages. Search an extensive archive of woodworking articles and tool reviews, as well as view special offers from some of your favorite woodworking companies.
A great source for hard to find woodworking titles from Linden Publishing and other sources.
