jminix is a simple embeddable restful JMX console. It is useful for when you don't want to use an external full-blown JMX console, but just want to have a simple JMX entry point into your new or existing apps. Embedding JMiniX in a Web app is done simply by declaring a servlet. Deployed as a servlet, it benefits from your Web application configuration such as filters or security constraints.
GWiki is an embeddable Wiki engine. It allows users to edit rich text fragments in an application you develop. It supports I18N files and mulitimedia content. Gwiki can be extended with macros written in Java or Groovy. It has a powerful right and role system, which can be fed from external sources such as LDAP, and allows access to business entitiels from wiki pages. It comes with Wicket integration out-of-the-box. Wicket-HTML-Fragments can be held within GWiki, so these pages can be managed by the Wiki System, while Wicket handles the application logic. GWiki can be deployed as a servlet on every servlet container. GWiki can use a filesystem, a Zip archive, or a database for its content storage.
AVS is a source configuration management software that embedds a bug tracking feature. It is based on a common file "check-out / check-in" procedure, which eases early conflict detection. A file can have parallel versions. A proprietary 3-way merge tool is bundled to help merging. AVS uses a development task concept, which allows grouping checked-out files for the same purpose. Users can then work on several tasks at once without confusing files. Each development task is natively linked to a change request, which can be linked to several tasks. The build manager then relies on a change request selection within a set, while still being able to unselect some tasks if needed. A user management feature, with groups and access rights, is provided to restrict access to users upon their profile.
Bonka's Queue is an HTTP-based message queue that relates to JMS or AMQP much in the same way that CouchDB relates to traditional DBMSes. That is to say that it tries to solve a different (much simpler) problem and avoid all the extra overhead associated with more "proper" solutions.
Jmx4Perl provides an alternate way of accessing Java JEE Server management interfaces that are based on JMX (Java Management Extensions). It is an agent-based approach where a small Web application deployed on the application server provides HTTP/JSON-based access to JMX MBeans registered within the application server. It is set up from a handful of Perl modules, which can be integrated seamlessly in your own programs. It also includes a Nagios plugin, check_jmx4perl, a jmx4perl command line tool for remote JMX queries and operations, and a readline-based JMX shell j4psh, with context sensitive command completion and syntax highlighting.
TurnKey Tomcat Appliance is a server appliance for Tomcat, a servlet container that implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications and provides a "pure Java" HTTP Web server environment for Java code to run in. It is designed to be easy to use and easy to maintain. Security patches are automatically installed. It provides a Web management interface, configuration console, and an AJAX Web shell. To minimize footprint the appliance is built from the ground up with the minimum required components. It runs everywhere thanks to multiple build formats, including an installable live CD, a VMDK with OVF support, and an Amazon EC2 AMI.
A video to GIF converter.

Prospects propel Astros in final rehearsal
Peacock, Foltynewicz dazzle on mound; Santana, Correa, DeShields deliver with bat
HOUSTON -- Delino DeShields' hard-hit infield single broke a tie in the bottom of the eighth inning to help the Astros beat the Cubs, 6-3, Saturday afternoon at Minute Maid Park in the final Spring Training game for both teams.
DeShields, the son of former Major League second baseman Delino DeShields, also contributed a bunt single for the Astros, who open the regular season Sunday night at home against the Rangers at 7:05 p.m. CT on ESPN.View Full Game Coverage
The Cubs rallied from a 3-0 deficit to tie the game in the top of the eighth with singles by Dave Sappelt and Arismendy Alcantara and a two-run double by Steve Clevenger, who eventually scored on Nate Schierholtz's single.
The Cubs, who begin the season Monday at Pittsburgh at 12:35 CT, managed only three singles in the first seven innings
Cubs manager Dale Sveum started his regulars Saturday, but played them only a few innings. Astros manager Bo Porter started almost all reserves, many of whom are ticketed for the Minors.
"Most of our guys will have the day off," Porter said of his starters. "We don't want to risk any more injuries."
Houston's Domingo Santana began the scoring with a double to the base of Tal's Hill in center field in the second inning, scoring J. D. Martinez.
Carlos Correa, the No. 1 pick in the June Draft by the Astros, made it 2-0 with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. Santana tripled in the sixth inning to score Houston's third run. Santana and Correa both finished with three hits.
Cubs second baseman Darwin Barney left the game in the third inning after colliding with a railing on the right-field line.
Sappelt made an athletic running catch in the fourth in front of the 404 sign in left-center, hanging onto the ball after hitting the wall hard.
Brad Peacock, the No. 4 pitcher in the Astros' rotation, started Saturday and went three innings, giving up two singles and no runs. Peacock was obtained from Oakland in an offseason trade. He will make his first start of the regular season next Friday at home against the A's.
"I've got a bunch of good buddies over there," Peacock said. "Dan Straily is pitching. It should be fun. Of course, I'll be nervous. It's my first start in the big leagues in quite a while. Just breathe out there and make my pitches."
Peacock did start two games at the end of the 2011 season for the Nationals before being traded to Oakland. Earning a spot in the rotation with Houston just before the start of the season meant something special to him.
"It's something I've dreamed about my whole life," Peacock said. "Just to be in the big leagues, I'm very fortunate. They gave me the opportunity here. This is my second year in a row to be traded, so I knew what to expect. I think I have a better situation here than I had in Oakland."
Cubs starter Travis Wood worked 4 1/3 innings, giving up two runs, five hits, striking out seven and walking three. Jensen Lewis came out of the bullpen to pitch out of a one-out, bases-loaded situation by retiring the side on a double-play grounder.
Houston reliever Mike Foltynewicz pitched four scoreless innings of relief. The 6-foot-4 right-hander gave up just one hit and one walk with an impressive seven strikeouts.

Results: A new N20 2.0l world dyno record: 300+whp and 350+wtq!!! We did a run before we started on the factory tuning (only with E85 fuel) and hit 237whp. So gains were as high as +70whp (~90 crank hp) in areas under the curve.
A few comments:
1) We're not ready to release all of the tuning details but I will say peak boost was around 23psi (compared to 17psi factory), and in areas under the curve we were making as much as 10psi more than the factory.
2) As expected the platform LOVES E85 fuel. Performance on 91 or 93 octane fuel will be substantially lower but will be stronger than Stage1 power levels. In the coming weeks we'll be posting dynos and additional data on 91 and 93 octane.
3) During testing we opened up the airbox to simulate a high flow intake and determine the potential for intake power gains. In doing so we found exactly zero horsepower gained even at these high boost levels. The factory airbox is simply not a restriction at 300rwp. For this reason we suggest you use only the factory airbox with the N20 platform. Companies claiming gains with intakes on this platform are fooling themselves and/or you.

12 Tips for Better Biscuit Joining Clinton MD
Gauge blocks are handy for cutting double biscuit joints. Cutthe first slot with the joiner base referenced off the work surface.Then, use a spacer block under the joiner base for the second cut. Thegauge block eliminates the hassle and confusion of flipping your stockor resetting the fence. Make a whole set and you'll be covered for anybiscuit-spacing need.
1-2-3 MicroGage Clinton MD
This tool is designed for nearly any workshop alignment or precision measuring application. You can configure it to measure your router bit height, router fence offsets, jointer blade adjustment, planer in-feed and out-feed rollers, tablesaw blade height and many other uses.
14 Great Little Tools Clinton MD
"What tools do I need for my shop?" This has to be one of the most common question in woodworking. The answer usually starts with the big power tools: tablesaw, jointer, router, planer. But what about those everyday tools we take for granted? You know, the kind that cause you to turn to a shopmate and say, "This is a great little tool."
3 Great Router Jigs Clinton MD
This Dadoing Jig takes the guesswork out of routing dadoes, because setting the exact width is virtually foolproof. Being able to tailor the dadoes' width to precisely match the thickness of shelves is a real blessing when you're building cabinets with hardwood plywood, which is always undersize in thickness.
3-Sided Molder Clinton MD
Woodmaster Molder/Planer with the 3-Side Molding System starts at $3,995. (The two routers can also be retrofitted to existing Woodmaster 18-in. and 25-in. molder/planers.) As you know, commercially-made molding can really add up in cost, and there's a limited number of species available. With your own 3-sided molder, you can turn out hundreds of feet of tongue-and-groove flooring, crown molding, base molding, and more, for far less cost, and you can use any wood you want.
6-Inch Jointers Clinton MD
A jointer is a must-have for many woodworkers. Few can do without the smooth, straight edges and faces they get from their jointers. We tested twelve 6-in. floor models that sell for under $600.
7 Trim Router Tips Clinton MD
Trim router motors range from 3.8 to 7.5 amps and run at speeds as high as 30,000 rpm. Add a base and the trim router weighs between 3 and 4-1/2 lbs. All models use only a 1/4-in. collet. You can buy a variety of bases and accessories (see Sources, page 4). Prices range from $80 for just the router with a standard base to $250 for a kit with several accessories.
A Little Guy with a Lot of Punch Clinton MD
Milwaukee's new 2401-22, 12-volt Sub-Compact Driver really packs a punch. The diminutive, 7-in.-long, 2-pound driver easily fits in a pocket or tool belt. Because it's small, installing tiny hardware screws isn't like pounding a nail with a sledgehammer.
A New Case for Safety Clinton MD
The ANSI-approved safety glasses are a comfortable face-fitting style. One pair of glasses is clear for indoor work; the other is tinted for working outside. They even look cool, designed with one-piece wraparound lenses. The earplugs come in their own case and include a neck cord. The finger-fitting, high-dexterity gloves are more like a second skin than a pair of work gloves. You shouldn't wear them when working on power tools, but they're handy for staying splinter-free when unloading lumber.
Accurize Your Tablesaw Clinton MD
When my contractor's saw was new, it cut perfectly. Over the years, it gradually went out of whack. I'll show you what I did to accurize it so that my blade cuts true again.
Adjustable Square Clinton MD
There's lots of ways it can be used in a shop, from laying out angled cuts on plywood to setting a tablesaw's miter gauge to tilting a bandsaw's table. Meant for outdoor use, this layout tool is very ruggedly built from solid aluminum alloy.
Affordable Lithium-Ion Tools Clinton MD
Ryobi's new 18-volt lithium-ion tools stand out—by their bright green color and by their prices. Lithium-ion power is revolutionizing battery-powered tools, because LI batteries are significantly lighter in weight than NiCad or NiMH batteries and they hold a charge longer when not in use (a great feature for weekend woodworkers).
All-Inclusive Slot Cutter Set Clinton MD
Mount a single cutter and bearing for conventional slot cutting or, using the longer arbor, stack up a number of cutters for making a very wide slot. Using a countersunk bolt the cutters can be mounted at the end of the arbor to allow undercutting, as you would with a lock rabbet joint. The cutter set includes one 1/16-in., one 1/8-in., one 5/32-in., one 3/16-in., and three 1/4-in. cutters.
Amana Miniature Bearing Router Bits Clinton MD
Amana Tool's miniature bearing router bits are designed with a ball bearing at the bottom end of the bit, eliminating burnout caused by brass pin-piloted bits.
Amana Raised Panel MDF Bits Clinton MD
Amana's replaceable router bit knives are made of special hardened sub-micro grade carbide, which is four times harder than materials used in standard brazed router bits. This higher grade of carbide increases the life of the router bit and delivers quality, smooth cuts in harder materials such as MDF and chipboard.
Amana Table Edge Router Bits Clinton MD
Each router bit features a bearing guide and two-flute cutting design that delivers superior results on frac34; thick material. The cutting edge of the bits is made of Amana's exclusive carbide grade that delivers the highest quality of cut, maximum cutting efficiency and extended tool life.
Become a Tool Nut Clinton MD
My life as a woodworker changed overnight when I bought a Leigh mortiseand tenon jig. I'd promised my spouse to build an entire set of diningchairs by Thanksgiving without realizing how many complicated jointsI'd have to make. A friend told me about the Leigh jig and how muchtime it would save, so I swallowed hard (it cost over $600!) and poniedup.
Belt Disc Sanders Clinton MD
Acombination belt-disc sander is similar to a mid-round draft choice on an athletic team. It's not a priority purchase, like a tablesaw or planer, but it's valuable in a woodworking shop as a role player. It's two tools in one. The disc is great for precise edge work, like fitting miter joints and trueing outside curves.
Benchtop Mortisers Clinton MD
Traditionally, mortisers used fast-speed, 3,450 rpm motors, but now slow-speed machines are also on the market. Three of the machines we tested have 1,725-rpm motors. Read on to learn more.
Bessey K Body Clamp Extender Clinton MD
The K Body Extender is the latest accessory designed for the original parallel jaw clamp. It's one of those great ideas that leave you wondering, "Why didn't anyone think of this before?" The Extender allows you to combine two clamps for large-scale glue-ups. The durable aluminum construction fits the unique rail profile of the K Body to form a precise, rigid link.
Better Baseplate Clinton MD
te. For making circles, you attach one or more extension plates to the main baseplate, install a pin or screw into the extension to make a pivot point, and dial in an exact distance using the adjustment knob, as above. This is just a small taste of what the Router Wizard Pro can do.
Big Jointer for Big Work Clinton MD
With a 12 x 84-in. bed, this giant looks more like an aircraft carrier than a jointer. The G0609 has a four-knife cutterhead driven by a 3-hp (18-amp) 220-volt motor. Knife elevation is controlled by jackscrews. You can get a helical carbide-insert cutterhead instead of the four-knife head for an additional $795.
Big New Planer Clinton MD
If you're convinced that bigger is better, this is the planer for you. With 25-in. width capacity, 9-in. thickness capacity, a 15-hp, 3-phase motor and weighing in at a whopping 1906 pounds, the G0603X ($7,995) is the biggest planer Grizzly sells.
Black-Max Sanding Discs Last and Last Clinton MD
If you like getting bang for your buck, or just hate changing sanding discs, check out Woodworker's Supply's new Black-Max 5-in.-dia. ceramic sanding discs. They cost about a buck apiece—almost three times more than a conventional aluminum-oxide disc—but they last up to five times longer, according to the manufacturer.
BOSCH Digital Multi-Detector Clinton MD
The new Bosch Model DMD4K Multi-Detector has capabilities that go way beyond the average stud finder. Flip a switch and this versatile tool will detect embedded metal in a slab of wood (before your saw does) or pin-point live wires and plumbing buried in a wall.
Bosch Finish and Trim Nailers Clinton MD
Bosch's finish tools gain an especially narrow nose and slim body thanks to Full Force Technology, a patented, highly efficient air chamber design. This means great line-of-sight and precision in the applications where it matters most. The design also delivers outstanding maneuverability when working in tight spaces, superior balance and ergonomics for all day use and the best power-to-size ratio in the industry.
Bowl Gouges Clinton MD
A modern bowl gouge has three parts: a rod, flute and handle. A solid round rod makes the tool very strong. The rod's flute is generally a deeply cut oval, which improves the tool's chip-cutting action.
CAD for Woodworkers Clinton MD
Full-size patterns are particularly helpful when your project has a large or complex shape. You don't need a special printer to make full-size patterns, because CAD programs can split a large drawing across several sheets of letter-size paper. This is called tiled printing.
Carbide Cutterheads for Jointers Clinton MD
On average, the initial additional expense of a segmented carbide cutterhead is about the same as the cost for 20 HSS knife sharpenings, so you'll eventually recoup your investment on the carbide model. With a segmented cutterhead, you basically pay up front for sharpenings but you get to enjoy all the benefits of carbide right away.
Carbide Insert Flush-Trim Bit Clinton MD
CMT's new carbide insert bits, $85, solve this problem, plus a few others. "Whoa!" you say. "85 bucks for a flush-trim bit?" You're right; it's a lot of dough. A comparable noninsert flush-trim bit with a 1/2-in. shank and 1-in. cut length costs around $35.
Cartridge Dust Filters Clinton MD
A single-cartridge filter offers much more filter area than a single-bag filter (Photo 2). That's because the filter material is folded or pleated like an accordion (Photo 1). The pleated filter design fits a ton of filter material into a small package. The increased filter area makes it easier for air to flow through the filter.
Chairmaker's Delight Clinton MD
This type of tool has a long and venerable history. Before the machine era, chairmakers made their own scraper shaves with a variety of flat, convex and concave bottoms. Antique artisan-made scraper shaves are difficult to find, however. Mass-produced scraper shaves, such as the Stanley 62, are very rare.
Choose the Right Grinding Wheel Clinton MD
Hard steel quickly dulls the abrasive particlesin a wheel. With a soft bond, the dull abrasive sloughs off quickly,leaving fresh, sharp abrasive to do the work. A hard bond, on the otherhand, holds tight to the abrasive particles, even after they're dull.
Clean Rusty Tools by Electrolysis Clinton MD
The rust flees from the negatively charged tool and is attracted to the positively charged scrap iron. The cleaning action occurs only in a line-of-sight manner, so it's best if the scrap iron surrounds the tool. When you've wired the tool and scrap-iron rod, plug in the charger.
Clean Your Disc Sander Clinton MD
Remove the disc sander's table and lower guard or dust shroud. If you can, tilt yoursander so the disc is horizontal. Squirt some Goo Gone on the disc andlet it soak for a few minutes. Then scrub the disc with a smallfine-bristle wire brush.
Cordless Brad Nailer Clinton MD
DeWalt's new DC608 isn't the first cordless brad nailer, but it is one of the best. The big advantage of going cordless, of course, is that you don't need a compressor or gas cartridges, and there's no air hose to deal with.
Craftsman C3 Lithium-Ion Power Tools Clinton MD
C3 Jigsaw with Laser– This cordless jigsaw features Laser Trac for proper blade alignment to follow line of cut and a powerful motor to handle a heavy workload. The saw has trigger controlled variable speed (0-1200 RPM) to customize for each job, four orbital cutting positions to cut various materials, a 1 in. blade stroke for a longer blade life, tool-less blade clamp, overmold handle for added control, tilt base and on board blade storage for convenient use.
Craftsman Midi Lathe Clinton MD
The Midi Lathe is precision machined and comes with 12 indexing positions to provide the user with options on carving styles including fluting, layout, and grooving/veining as well as drilling. Also featured are a tool rest and tail stock that adjust easily with cam lock handles and stay secure when locked down. A knock out bar is included for easy lathe center removal.
Craftsman MiterMate Clinton MD
The V-fence system pivots for accurate settings of both angles while the left and right sliding fences provide maximum support when making cuts. The MiterMater is powered by a 15 amp motor and 10 inch 40 tooth carbide tip saw blade for sharp and clean cuts.
Curved Scrapers Clinton MD
Here's the inside scoop on those inside curves. It's a lot easier to get good results if you concentrate on creating a hook on one side only.

The story of the Eclipse scrollsaw is a classic American tale. Like the Wright brothers who invented man's first flying machine in their bike shop, Ernie Mellon designed and built the revolutionary Eclipse scrollsaw in his garage. What makes the Eclipse unique is the lack of pivoting arms or parallel links that give motion to the blade. Instead, it uses a revolutionary "oscillating-loop" drive mechanism.

Hide-away Shop Desk Clinton MD
I used to have a desk in my shop for reviewing cutlists and drawing plans. I really liked having that permanent spot for my calculator, pens, pencils and paper, but its big horizontal surface was a magnet for piling up junk. That's why I was thrilled to find Duluth Trading Company's new Plan Station, $69.50.

Japanese Dozuki Saws Clinton MD
All Japanese saws cut on the pull stroke; Western saws, as we all know, cut on the push stroke. Once you've made the switch, you'll find the pull stroke quite natural. It has two overwhelming benefits: following a line is much easier, and that makes sawing far less fatiguing, both physically and mentally.
Jointer/Planer Combo Machine Clinton MD
Grizzly's new G0633 12-in. Jointer/Planer Combination machine, $1,795, does dual duty with one cutter head. At first blush the price tag may seem high, but the economics are good when you combine the prices of a stationary induction-motor planer and jointer.

Laguna Platinum Cabinet Saw Clinton MD
A riving knife is a great safety feature. It's a splitter that's always positioned 1/8-in. or so away from the blade, which greatly reduces the chance of kickback. To maintain that small clearance, a riving knife rises and falls with the blade.
Larger-Capacity Akeda Jig Clinton MD
We gave the 16-in. Akeda dovetail jig our Editor's Choice award last year because it was precise and easy to use. Akeda has recently introduced a 24-in. model, suitable for a blanket chest or other large casework, using the same clever system of snap-in, indexed guide fingers.

Miter Saw Dust Shroud Clinton MD
Miter saws are a great convenience, but they spread sawdust like a sprinkler spreads water. The new Downdrafter shroud from Rousseau, $200, combined with a dust collector, acts like a parachute behind the saw and grabs almost every bit of dust. You may cringe at the price, but some good engineering is at work here.
Miter Saws Clinton MD

Nicely-Priced Dado Head Clinton MD
CMT's new Dado Pro ($149) is a dado head that stacks up pretty well. It does an excellent job in solid woods and works reasonably well in plywood. To produce tearout-free dadoes in plywood with this dado head, you have to feed the material at a slow rate. This limitation is common with dado heads in this price range.
Nicely-Priced HVLP Clinton MD
Overall I was able to get a reasonably good finish from the Earlex 3000. It wasn't perfect, but spraying a finish is much quicker than brushing. If you're interested in trying out HVLP finishes, this unit is a good starting point.
Nosy Belt Sander Clinton MD

Perfect Scribe Every Time Clinton MD
Cabinets and countertops seldom fit perfectly to a wall. The traditional solution involves holding the cabinet in place and using a compass to transfer the wall contours to the cabinet's scribe strip then machining, sanding and filing the profile on the strip. It's a time-consuming battle for perfection.
Perfectly Sized Dadoes Clinton MD
You could make your own guide for the Dado Wiz, but the clamp guide, $45, is a worthwhile accessory. It automatically squares up against the edge of your material, rigidly locking in place. If you've already got this style of clamp, you can get the squaring head only for $25.
Plow Plane Revisited Clinton MD
Here's really good news for all you hand tool enthusiasts: Lee Valley has added an updated version of the Record No. 044 plow plane to their line of Veritas hand planes. If you've searched eBay long and hard for a complete 044 (see Tool Nut, page 14), look no longer.

Precision Squares Clinton MD
Many combination squares aren't very accurate, but this one is made to extremely precise tolerances and is individually checked before it leaves the factory. A good 12-in. square, like this one, should be no more than .002 in. out of square at the end of the blade (for comparison, a piece of paper is about .003 in. thick). Look for a published tolerance this small when you shop for any type of precision square.
Premium Resaw Bandsaw Blades Clinton MD
If you only resaw on occasion and want a blade primarily for general-purpose work, a flex-back or hard-back blade is your best choice. For hard-core resawing, the hard-back or bi-metal hook-tooth blades with three tpi did the best overall job.
Quick-Acting Clamps Clinton MD
The spread function lets you gently disassemble parts, with little or no mallet pounding. Clamp pressure is strong enough to pull together well-fitted parts, but as with other quick-acting clamps, I wouldn't rely on it for heavy-duty clamping situations, for instance, holding a router fence in position. Square-bottomed Multi-Grips will stand on their own, a handy feature when working on a benchtop.
Quick-Adjust Drawer Slides Clinton MD
Getting drawer fronts perfectly aligned inside a cabinet is now a lot easier, thanks to Accuride. Its updated 3832 series drawer slides include a clever cam-shaped adjustment device that gives you up to 3/16-in. wiggle room.

Do you turn on your dust collector every time you should? "I'm only making one cut," you say. But how many times in a day do you make "only one cut"? A lot of devices on the market allow conveniently controlling your dust collector from a distance, but they have to be added to the system after the fact and cost $50 to $300.
Reshaping the Skew Chisel Clinton MD
Begin modifying a conventional skew by reshaping its sides (Photo 1). I prefer to do this on a belt sander mounted in a stand and equipped with a belt designed to cut metal (see Sources, page 44). Be sure to remove all the dust from the sander and set aside its bag to avoid starting a fire. Start with a 60-grit belt; finish with a 120-grit belt.

Rockler Fluting Jig Clinton MD
With a sliding router plate and unique indexing system, the Fluting Jig makes setup a breeze. Users simply attach their router (the jig comes pre-drilled for most routers), adjust the jig's underside rails to straddle the work piece and begin marking their flutes' centerpoints on the erasable yellow pad.

Install the pencil plug and you can also use the jig to draw ellipses and circles.
Router Lifts Clinton MD
Most lifts do not give you a cumulative readout. In other words, you have to keep track of the number of crank revolutions for height changes greater than 1/16 in. Some lifts allow you to zero out the height indicator. This is a great feature because it makes it possible to set your bits to exactly the same height every time you use them. For example, it practically eliminates the need for test cuts whenever you make stiles and rails for panel doors.
Rugged Low-Cost Bandsaw Clinton MD
This saw accepts blades from 3/16- to 3/4-in. wide. Its table is 42 in. above the floor, which is higher than most welded-frame saws. Low tables are handy for resawing, but a higher table makes it much easier to see the line on curved cuts.
Sandpaper Power Sharpening System Clinton MD
An excellent sharpening system has just gotten better and cheaper! The Veritas Mark II ($300) sharpens chisels, plane irons, carving gouges and V-tools incredibly fast with a minimum of fuss.
Self-clamping Biscuit Clinton MD
To use a Fixo, cut one #20-sized biscuit slot across the two pieces you want to join. Apply some glue to the joint's mating surfaces, then drive in the Fixo with a hammer bottom photo). Curved ridges molded into the glass-reinforced plastic biscuit pull the joint together.
Shaper or Router Table? Clinton MD
A 3-1/2-hp router table setup can handle the occasional kitchen and, coupled with today's router bits, is even capable of making full-size, 1-3/4-in.-thick exterior doors. But a router is not designed for large-scale wood removal on a continuous basis.
Sharp Edges–Fast Clinton MD
Raise your hand if you've ever had a difficult time sharpening chisels, plane irons, or carving tools. Okay, that's just about everyone. Now take a close look at these amazing new machines from Professional Tool Manufacturing—they'll sharpen any one of these tools in just a couple minutes, with no fuss at all.
Simple, Accurate Bit-Height Gauge Clinton MD
The eight profiles it contains are lock miter, 22.5-degree lock bit, drawer lock, reverse glue joint, groove of a tongue and groove, glass-panel cope cutter, raised-panel cope cutter and raised panel. These profiles are specific to CMT and Sommerfeld's bits and may not work with other brands.
Slow Speed Grinders Clinton MD
This page provides relevant content and local businesses that can help with your search for information on Slow Speed Grinders. You will find informative articles about Slow Speed Grinders, including "Slow-Speed Grinders - Tools - American Woodworker". Below you will also find local businesses that may provide the products or services you are looking for. Please scroll down to find the local resources in Clinton, MD that can help answer your questions about Slow Speed Grinders.
Small Shop CNC Clinton MD
The PRSstandard is ideal when high-speed positioning is not a priority. The PRSstandard can always be upgraded to a PRSalpha, so it's a great place to start. ShopBot CNC systems are designed for ease of use. But, like any new skill, learning CNC technology requires time and practice.
Small, But Effective, Dust Collector Clinton MD
Steel City's cool new Mini DC, $100 can be used two ways. You can run it as a stand-alone dust collector or place it in-line with a central dust collection system to "supercharge" the air flow and get better collection.
Smart Digital Miter Gauge Clinton MD
The ProMiter-100 is a well engineered, precision miter gauge designed for woodworkers by a woodworker, Mario Salazar, owner of Salazar Solutions. With the ProMiter-100 you can set angles to within 0.1 degree of accuracy from -50 degrees to +50 degrees in a matter of seconds, rather than minutes.
Spiral Router Bits Clinton MD
I've routed miles of grooves in my life, but the quality of cut I've been getting from spiral bits still amazes me. I love these bits! The secret is in the spiral design, which cuts the wood through a shearing action.
Spiral-Cutterhead Planer Clinton MD
If you've heard the buzz about carbide spiral cutterheads on jointers, you'll definitely want to check out the G1021X2 15-in. planer from Grizzly. This planer's cutterhead has dozens of small carbide cutters arranged in a spiral pattern (photo, right), and far outperforms cutterheads with standard HSS knives.
Stainless Steel Sanding Discs Clinton MD
When I first looked at the Microplane stainless steel sanding discs I thought, "There's no way that can work. It'll just tear up the wood." But now that I've logged lots of hours of sanding with this product, I'm a believer. According to the manufacturer this product will remove wood five times faster than a conventional abrasive, while outlasting it seven times.
Stamped Steel or Cast Iron Wings? Clinton MD
Over the long haul, you'll find that cast-iron wings have atleast four valuable benefits that are worth the extra money. First, acast-iron wing is much more rugged and is more likely to remain flatafter years of use.
State-of-the-Art Router Table Clinton MD
You do need to be careful not to nudge the front handle with your leg or you could change the bit height. The lift is designed to grip the motor of the Porter-Cable 7518 3-hp fixed-base router.
Super Souped Up Bandsaw Clinton MD
The G0555X uses ball bearing blade guides above and below the table. Ball bearing guides are especially handy when using wide resaw blades. The saw accepts blades from 92-1/2-in. to 93-1/2-in. long, and 1/8 to 3/4-in. wide.
Super Spokeshave Clinton MD
Spokeshaves are a pleasure to use at the bench. You can smooth curved parts that are rough cut on a bandsaw or put those final hand-sculpted touches anywhere on a piece of furniture. A spokeshave can be pushed or pulled and take off light or heavy shavings.
Super-Safe Contractor's Saw Clinton MD
The contractor's saw will use the same highly engineered blade-stopping technology as the cabinet saw. We think it's the best safety feature to be introduced in years.
Super-Sized Excalibur Scroll Saw Clinton MD
The tilting head mechanism makes scrolling at an angle a dream. A large knob on the front of the machine controls a rack and pinion mechanism for tilting the saw up to 45-degrees left and right with positive stops at 22.5-degrees, 30-degrees and 45-degrees. Release the lock lever and turn the knob to adjust.
Tame Your Belt Sander Clinton MD
Does the prospect of using a belt sander make your palms sweat and your hands shake? I feel your pain. Belt sanders have a bad rap as the quickest way to ruin a project. Use them incorrectly and your project starts to look like the rolling hills of Ireland.
The Mini Series from Easy Wood Tools Clinton MD
The Mini Rougher uses the same square cutters as the original Ci2. It features a 3/8" x 4" tool bar, and is 16" in overall length. Curved edge cutters (R2) for the Mini Rougher will also be available starting in late Winter 2010.
The Shadow Knows Clinton MD
. Like many lasers, the shadow shows you exactly where the blade is going to cut. But there's a catch with lasers: most of them only show you where one side of the blade will cut. The shadow shows the entire kerf, so it doesn't matter whether your waste piece is on the left or right side of the blade.
Three-Base Router System Clinton MD
The fixed and D-handle bases have an easy-to-use lever-style locking clamp and a great micro-adjustment ring, which simplifies setting bit depth. The plunge base has a micro-adjust for fine-tuning bit depth and a stop rod for setting plunge depth, but lacks a turret for setting multiple depths-of-cut.
Tool Talk: Forstner Bits Clinton MD
The knife-edge is the most traditional Forstner design and does a great job of cutting nonstandard holes. That's because it has the fewest rim interruptions. Its rim is ground to create an inside bevel with a sharp knife-edge.
Tool Test: Bandsaws Clinton MD
If you stop it (which is very easy to do on an underpowered machine), you get a nasty bump. On a 1-hp saw, you must proceed very slowly when resawing and pay a lot of attention to how the motor is performing. Resawing is easier on a 1-1/2-hp saw, for boards up to 6-in. wide. Beyond that, you want 2, 2-1/2 or even 3 hp —the more, the better.
Tool-Controlled Dust Collection Clinton MD
Do you use your dust collector every time you should? Probably not. With this new system, you will—without any extra effort. System 1 from Creative Dust Control is fully automatic. The system consists of a motorized blast gate, a tool module and a vacuum module. It's available for both 110- and 220-volt machines.
Top Saw Pocket Wrench Clinton MD
The Pocket Wrench is a hand tool that has 8 tools in it to allow the user to work on a chainsaw in the field. The following article has more detailed information about the product.
Trend Anglefix and Multiscribe Clinton MD
The beauty of the Anglefix Guide is in its simplicity. Place the two legs of the AngleFix Guide on outside or inside corners. Remove the tool and position it on the miter saw and place the saw blade against the metal alignment tab.
T-Track Clinton MD
Some T-tracks require special connectors that are only available from one supplier. Pre-drilled for Easy Mounting We prefer T-tracks that are pre-drilled and countersunk to accept No. 6 or bigger wood screws (Photo 3). It's also nice to have screw holes spaced no more than 5 in. apart.
Tune Up an Old Chisel Clinton MD
These steps are equally useful for a new tool, fresh from the box. Please notice that I put equal emphasis on the chisel's bevel and back. Both must be in perfect condition, for every sharp edge has two sides. Let's begin with the back.
Two New Work Sharp Wheels Clinton MD
With the Surface Conditioning Wheel (MSRP $24.95) users can de-burr parts, remove rust, paint, and other various coatings along with light sanding and surface preparation tasks on their Work Sharp.
Upgrade Your Lift with Digital Accuracy And Repeatability Clinton MD
The system installs in under 30-minutes. It's easy to calibrate, allowing you to start at zero or preset any starting position. You can also toggle between absolute and incremental readings at the push of a button.
Variable-Speed Mini Lathe Clinton MD
A 1/2-hp motor supplies the power. The Steel City machine has a 10-in. swing over the bed and 15-in. capacity between centers. Adding a bed extension increases the capacity to 37-3/4 in. The drive spindle is 1-in. diameter with 8 threads per inch (tpi). Both the head and tail stock take a No. 2 Morse taper.
Veritas Planes Clinton MD
Veritas planes have a generous amount of room in front of the rear handle. This is particularly welcome on smooth planes, where space is often cramped. The handle is supported on top to prevent it from breaking, a common problem with old Stanley planes.
Versatile Miter Saw Stand Clinton MD
Ridgid's Miter Saw Utility Vehicle (MS-UV, available at Home Depot stores) offers a great solution for woodworkers who don't have room to permanently mount their miter saw. The MS-UV securely holds almost any miter saw, including sliders, at a comfortable working height and folds compactly in less than a minute for storage or transporting to a job site.
Versatile Push Block Clinton MD
The foot in the Joy Block pad is spring loaded. When the block is used in the middle of a board, downward pressure on the handle compresses the spring so the foot recesses into the pad. When pressure is released the foot springs out, where it can engage the edge of a board.
Versatile Throat Plate Clinton MD
Zero-clearance throat plates are one of the best accessories you can put on your tablesaw. With a slot that tightly fits the blade, you get less tear-out and no trapped offcuts, with both standard blades and dado sets. Buying a whole stack of throat plates for every width of dado cut can really add up, though.
Waterstones Clinton MD
Most waterstones come in two sizes: regular and large. Large stones are thicker, wider and longer, so they have more wear surface. The extra width of a large stone is handy for wide plane irons, but not essential.
Wooden Nails Clinton MD
The most cumbersome aspect of using this system is clamping all the parts together for drilling, but you would run into the same problem using screws. The Miller Dowel is designed for butt or lap joints where you might otherwise use screws and plugs.
Woodworking Tools Clinton MD
We all love wood, whether it's a wide clear board or a gnarly slab with wild grain. That's why sawing our own lumber crosses the minds of most woodworkers. It might be inspired by the sight of a big tree blown down by a storm, a custom tabletop made from only one or two slabs of unusual wood or the thought of free wood.

Friday 10th & Saturday 11th of October
"We haven't had anything like this in New York for over twenty years". Wynton Marsalis
The Ronnie Scott's Late Late Show!
MONDAY - THURSDAY 11pm-3am
FRIDAY - SATURDAY 1am-3am
£12 on the door, £6 Students (with ID), FREE entry to MU, Club members and main show ticket holders
In 1959, saxophonist Ronnie Scott opened the door to a small basement club in London's west end where local musicians could jam. Today, it is one of the world's most famous jazz clubs attracting packed houses and the biggest names in jazz and popular music and Ronnie Scott's welcoming, stylish setting is also home to London's coolest late night hang.
Each night Monday to Saturday, after the main act, Ronnie Scott's presents the Late Late Show, where some of the UK's finest jazz talents take to the stage for a late night blowing session.
Femi Temowo is a guitarist 'par excellence'.
Born September 1976 in the city of Akure in Nigeria, he is the first in a family of ten siblings. Femi began playing the guitar aged 17 after having moved to London at 10 years old and very quickly entered into professional ranks, by age 21 he was already highly regarded on the jazz and popular music scene.
Between 1998/01 Femi studied jazz at Middlesex University under the great educator Stuart Hall (Loose Tubes). After graduating, he was approached by UK Jazz/Hip-Hop artist Soweto Kinch to join his then brand new quartet, the quartet went to on to win many awards including a Mercury Music Prize nomination, BBC jazz award for best new group and several MOBO awards.
As an educator Femi is a regular tutor on the guitar Faculty at Tech Music School, a contemporary music institute based in West London. He also gives master classes and seminars all over Europe and the UK as part of 'The Urbanator Project', a music education programme founded by violinist Michal Urbaniak (Miles Davis) and based in Poland.
Femi's slick and melodic guitar sound has earned him a place beside many great musicians and artists from across many genres, having played with the likes of – George Benson, Courtney Pine, The Roots, Omar, Roachford, Amy Winehouse, Jason Rebello, Eska Mtungwazi, Soweto Kinch, Terri Walker, Jean Toussaint, Don Blackman, Michal Urbaniak and many more.
In September 2006 Femi released his debut album entitled 'Quiet Storm'. The album was released with much adulation and praise from both peers and industry experts alike.
One review described it as:
" A palette of sounds ranging from Wes Montgomery to Jimi Hendrix, interwoven with soul, Nigerian Hi-Life, and spoken word."
Femi's latest project sees him in a Quartet / Quintet setting where he is currently expanding on some of the ideas he started on his debut album but in a smaller group setting, experimenting with Nigerian folk sounds and jazz song form. The trio consists of Guitar, Bass and Drums and are sometimes joined by a vocalist.
"Known for his mind boggling versatility… that can see him switch effortlessly between squelchy synth-guitar, neo-classical motifs, Afro-beat grooves and a natty line in post-Wes and Benson solo flights, this trio setting is perfect to let Femi's full range of ideas flow."
"Moving from Nigeria over to London, England could possibly have been the best decision ever made by jazz guitar player Femi Temowo. A natural talent and musically aware person."
Tell us what you think of Femi Temowo Quartet below..

Pipeline Perspectives: Peterson on his way up
Mariners' first-round Draft pick likely to enter Top 100 Prospects list soon
There's a good amount of subjectivity regarding baseball prospects. With the evaluation of talent being in the eye of the beholder, finding consensus is often difficult. Even Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo at MLBPipeline.com don't always see eye-to-eye. They'll be discussing their viewpoints regularly in a feature called Pipeline Perspectives. Submit a topic for them to debate.
It's not difficult these days to find prospect lists to read. Obviously, we reference MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects rankings all the time.
These lists, by design, are extremely subjective. Whether they are based on individual evaluations or by polling the scouting industry at large, it is entirely opinion-based. Undoubtedly, whenever a list comes out, there is strenuous debate about who is on the list and who is not. Even the list-makers have players they struggled to gauge or would like to see make the list in the future.
Thus is the basis of this edition of Pipeline Perspectives. Both Jim Callis and I have been ranking prospects for years. And even with MLB.com's list being a dynamic one, with updates being made to it as players graduate off the list and into the Major Leagues, there are going to be those on the outside looking in. Of those who aren't in the current Top 100, which player do we think is most likely to make the jump onto it in 2014?
Both Jim and I went with a hitter in answering this question, though not the same one. While he selected a somewhat forgotten (because of his 2012 injury) Josh Bell of the Pirates, I decided to pick one of the best hitters from the 2013 First-Year Player Draft.
Third baseman D.J. Peterson entered the Draft as one of the best pure, advanced hitters in the class. He was Plan B for several teams that held the top 10 picks, and the Mariners feel fortunate he was there for them to take again (they had drafted him out of high school in 2010) with the No. 12 pick overall. Over the course of his pro debut, the New Mexico product showed he might make a rapid trip up the organizational ladder to Seattle.
Peterson, No. 3 on the Mariners' Top 20 list, made two stops this past summer. He started slowly in the short-season Northwest League, hitting .220/.333/.488 in 11 June games. But then he made some adjustments -- always a good sign -- and hit .368/.413/.559 over 17 games in July. That earned him a promotion to the full-season Midwest League.
Again, he initially scuffled, going 4-for-28 (though three of the four hits were for extra bases) over his first seven games. Then he got comfortable and hit .352/.395/.648 in 19 August games before he took an errant pitch to the jaw, ending his season.
Peterson will make a full recovery, but that Aug. 22 incident kept him from doing a couple of things. One was earning another promotion. All signs pointed to the Mariners moving him up another rung before the end of the year. The second was a trip to the Arizona Fall League. The Cubs' Kris Bryant and the Marlins' Colin Moran, two of the college hitters taken ahead of Peterson, are there, putting them on what is sure to be a fast track.
While statistical performance in the AFL can't be given too much weight, there is no question that some time in Arizona often acts a springboard to the upper levels. Had Peterson been able to play, perhaps he could have started in Double-A at the outset of next season. Seattle, after all, let catcher Mike Zunino start this year in Triple-A, and he was in the big leagues by mid-June.
Peterson raking in the AFL would have undoubtedly helped his prospect status as well. There are pro scouts aplenty in Arizona, many of whom are polled for next year's rankings. It stands to reason that Peterson performing well in front of them would have landed him on their personal lists. Perhaps he already is. He did, after all, hit .303/.365/.553 with 13 homers and 47 RBIs in 55 Minor League games. But not every scout made it to the Northwest and Midwest leagues. More eyes on him will lead to better evaluations because he can flat-out hit.
Whether Peterson can stick at third base remains to be seen. But that doesn't really matter. His bat will carry him to the big leagues in a hurry. It might get him to Double-A to start next season, anyway, despite the broken jaw. And it should earn him a place on the Top 100 list when MLB.com launches it early next year.

Families who plan to walk the one mile together will pay just $20 and are encouraged to dress in their favorite Halloween costumes. Pets are also invited and are welcome to dress for Halloween as well. Foster families and children walk at no charge.
Race day registration begins at 7:30 a.m., and the race will begin at 9 a.m. The course goes through the Canton and Patterson Park neighborhoods, beginning and ending at O'Donnell Square in Canton.
The top three registered teams who raise the most money will be eligible to win gift certificates, a complimentary wine tasting, 2012 Orioles tickets and more. In addition, there will be prizes for top runners, age group winners and most creative Halloween costumes for adults, children and pets.
After the completion of the race, participants can join the Showalters, the Oriole Bird and the Chik-fil-A Cow for light fare and Halloween fun in O'Donnell Square.

I would expect the same with the new M3 that for the wheel horsepower gains on the F80 to exceed the crank horsepower difference presented by BMW between the F80 and the E90 M3's. This power increase combined with a claimed weight loss by 220 pounds would make for an M3 that performs very well.
The thing is, 220 pounds is a lot to shave off the F30. And if the F80 M3 undercuts the E90 M3 by 220 pounds that means it would weigh somewhere in the 33XX pound range. Owners have weighed their E92/E90 M3's in the 35XX pound range. Confusion arises that the E9X is heavy because BMW lists its European weight which includes a 75kg driver.
BMW claims the current F30 335i weighs 3555 pounds. So, about what an E92 M3 weighs. That would mean if the rumor for 100 kg weight loss were correct the F80 M3 would undercut the F30 335i and E92 M3 by 220 pounds. That means weight less than an E46 M3 as well, not happening. What is more likely is that BMW will undercut the 3704 pound curb weight they provide for the E92 M3 putting the F80 M3 somewhere in the 35XX pound range or just about the exact same as the E90/E92.
We will find out soon enough with the car expected at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

Deep, experienced Red Sox ready for postseason run
Offseason additions nicely complemented talent already in place in Boston
With six American League teams vying for the two AL Wild Card spots and three National League Central clubs dueling for the division title (with the surging Nationals keeping them on their toes for the NL Wild Card spots), the postseason picture is far from complete.
But the playoffs are at least in sight, and we'll gear up for them by taking an in-depth look at the October-bound clubs and what it will take for them to reach the World Series.
We begin with the Boston Red Sox, who hold a commanding lead in the AL East. All stats are through Tuesday.
Let's dispense with the usual discourse right off the bat, OK?
Chemistry is not the reason the 2013 Red Sox are on the verge of sealing the franchise's first division title in six years. Chemistry was not the reason behind the 2011 collapse or the ill-conceived, short-lived and overwhelmingly unsuccessful Bobby Valentine era.
Certainly, chemistry can be a byproduct of the bigger picture. But the Red Sox are here, on October's doorstep and possibly even en route to their first 100-win season since 1946, because the pitching strength that evaded them for too long has returned and because the additions Ben Cherington and Co. made last winter augmented what was a pretty darn good core.
Boston's staff ERA (3.76) is the lowest it's been in 11 years and nearly a full point lower than it was a year ago. It is attributable to Jon Lester's resurgence, John Lackey's return to relevance, Felix Doubront's progression, Jake Peavy's arrival, Koji Uehara's lights-out 'pen performance and Clay Buchholz being arguably the best pitcher in baseball when healthy this year.
The Red Sox's MLB-best offensive output (5.2 runs per game) is guided by the fact that they have nine qualifying position players with an adjusted OPS above the league average, including two -- David Ortiz and Jacoby Ellsbury -- who struggled to stay on the field last year, one -- Daniel Nava -- who had not yet established himself as a regular and four -- Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino, Stephen Drew and Jonny Gomes -- who were acquired in the offseason.
Don't get me wrong. The chemistry is nice and all. But when you've got so many guys performing at such a high level over such a long period, how could you not enjoy each other's company?
John Farrell and his staff deserve praise for earning the trust and respect of their players and changing the culture of a proud franchise that had gone astray. But beyond that obvious narrative are the more tactical aspects they've incorporated. The pitchers rave about the game plans put together by Farrell and pitching coach Juan Nieves -- plans they've executed artfully.
There's no other way to say it: Boston is a force. The Red Sox are a force because they are as deep, experienced and road-tested (the way they've run away with what had been a daunting division deserves applause) as any club entering October, and their division lead affords them the opportunity to line up their pitching staff and dole out some late-season rest where it's needed.
The beards, the laughs, the palpable camaraderie are all great things -- well, most of the beards, anyway. But the Red Sox win because they're well-prepared and they've got a ton of talent.
The bats: Nobody has been better than Boston at getting on base (.349) or slugging (.444), and in a related development, nobody has scored more runs (793). The Red Sox are among the most patient offenses in the league, averaging 4.03 pitches per plate appearance. Pedroia, Victorino and Ellsbury have all been good for more than five Wins Above Replacement.
The arms: The starters' ERA (3.87) is good for third in the AL, and Red Sox starters have worked more innings (921) than any other AL club. Those innings have helped a bullpen that's endured the injuries of Joel Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey while trending more toward the middle of the pack. Farrell will have to decide how to fill out that bullpen beyond Uehara, Craig Breslow, Brandon Workman and Junichi Tazawa, with left-handers Franklin Morales and Matt Thornton among the candidates
The MVP: You can make a case for Pedroia, Ellsbury, Victorino or even Uehara, and you wouldn't necessarily be wrong. But I'm casting my vote for Ortiz, who, with a .308/.395/.559 slash line, 27 homers, 94 RBIs and an adjusted OPS 56 percent better than league average, is providing near-historic output for a 37-year-old. The last link to the 2004 championship club, Ortiz has made his oft-scrutinized two-year, $26 million extension look like a steal.
The ace: Buchholz was on his way to AL Cy Young Award consideration before he was sidelined by neck and shoulder woes in early June. He missed three months, only to return this month and toss 11 innings in his first two starts without allowing an earned run. Buchholz is a force, and his arm will be fresh for October. But I'm giving the "ace" tag to Lester, who has been a workhorse all season (accumulating 201 1/3 innings to date) while going 14-8 with a 3.75 ERA, including a 1.96 ERA over his past three starts. Even with Buchholz back in action, it would not be a shock to see Farrell give Lester the Game 1 nod in the AL Division Series. Whatever the order, Boston has a strong one-two punch on its hands.
The unsung hero: Having been cut from his college team and worked his way into the professional picture by grinding it out in junior college and independent ball, Nava was always a good story. But he made a good story even better by dedicating himself defensively at first base and the outfield over the winter, and the strides he made on that side of the ball gave Farrell reason to make him a regular in the lineup. Nava has served a super utility role wonderfully, seeing time in all three outfield spots and first base while contributing a .303/.389/.448 slash line.
The pressing question: When will Ellsbury return to the lineup, and at what level? Ellsbury has been out with a non-displaced fracture in his foot since Sept. 5 and has not yet resumed baseball activities. The Red Sox insist he'll be ready for October, but will rust be a factor for the center fielder and leadoff man?
