I kept this Drill Press Stand with the idea that it would help me accurately bore 3/4" holes for bench dogs. Then, when I set out to drill them I realized that the drill only has 2 amps and that my larger drill could not be properly installed in the stand. That meant that I … Continue reading Overflow, Part XII
What is Overflow? A year-and-a-half ago, I started my Overflow program to give away woodworking stuff I no longer used to followers of my blog. It was going strong for a while and I gave away a lot of good stuff including a: Ridgid Air Filter; Veritas Scraper Holder; Makita 1/3 Sheet Sander; Lee Valley Dovetail … Continue reading Overflow is Back, Again!
Router bit sets with 30 assorted bits seem like a great deal and an affordable way to start your collection. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who bought one of these sets. They are good value if you look at the cost per bit. However, the sets often come with moulding profile bits … Continue reading Overflow, Part XI
What is Overflow? Almost a year ago, I started my Overflow program to give away woodworking stuff I no longer used to followers of my blog. It was going strong for a while and I gave away a lot of good stuff including a: Ridgid Air Filter; Veritas Scraper Holder; Makita 1/3 Sheet Sander; Lee Valley … Continue reading Overflow is Back!
Years ago, I bought this Veritas Scraper Holder. Soon after, I realized that I preferred to hold the scraper in my hands which, I felt, allowed increased sensitivity. Since I never use it, I am giving it away! It's in perfect condition but a little dusty from being in the shop. (I'm keeping the scraper … Continue reading Overflow, Part X

You know that I, Chris Wong, make woodwork with much flair at Flair Woodworks. However, you may not know that I also make fine woodworking tools at Time Warp Tool Works (read more about my role at Time Warp Tool Works). It is a well-known fact that quartersawn material (where growth rings run vertically along the end grain) is … Continue reading Overflow, Part VIII
I bought ten of these wine glass kits from Craft Supplies USA. The stems were cut off so that all the maker had to do was turn the bottom half. It seemed like a neat idea at the time, but I've somewhat lost interest in turning. If you would like these ten glasses, please leave … Continue reading Overflow, Part VII
This time, I am giving away one Makita BO3700 Finishing Sander which has seen a minimal amount of use. It uses 1/3 of a standard 9x11" sandpaper sheet which is held in place by a spring-loaded clamp at each end of the pad. The soft pad has eight holes for dust extraction. The steel plate … Continue reading Overflow, Part VI
SAW SET FOR WESTERN SAWS WITH 4-12 TPI I have two identical saw sets and this one is a little grungier. It still works fine. To use the saw set, loosen the lock knob, rotate the round anvil until the number representing the TPI of the saw is at the top and tighten the knob. … Continue reading Overflow, Part IV
