The Woodshop Shed

Make-Up Chest

Small project that took way too long to finish. This was one of those projects that you start, then set aside to work on something else, then do a little more work, then set aside a little longer.

I made this for a granddaughter. Walnut was scraps from several different projects so some miss-matched color, but I was able to use up those scraps.

24" Incra Miter Runner Question

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


Hello All,

I have two 24" Incra Miter Sliders. I used them for a TS Sled and I wanted to make a new sled so I took the sliders off and I was trying to adjust the hex screws (which tighten so the runner fitssnugly in the miter slot) and I noticed that several of the 3/32" adjustment holes were stripped. I did contact Incra and they replied right away with a link to order more from their site. They sell them in packs of 3 for $4.95 with $6.00 shipping. That is not too bad but I was wondering if anyone knew where to source the screws directly? I asked ChatGPT and ChatGPT gave me the following spec:

#6-32 x 3/8 flat head socket cap screw

That seems right but then it went on about a head angle of 82 or 90 degrees? The head angle may not matter.

Anyone know the correct spec and where do buy the screws? Attaching a picture from an internet search.



Thanks, Bill

A Fun Day Playing Loggers

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


[font="Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", sans-serif]A friend of mine owns 40 acresof land in East Otto, NY, of which about 10 acres is forest. He offered me a black cherry tree to cut down and mill into lumber. Yesterday, we took my trailer down to his place and picked out a nice tree at about 22" DBH. It fell right where he intended and we got 4 logs at 9.5 ft long before the major fudge , one lead from which was broken off.[/font]

We drug the logs out with his tractor and I loaded two of them onto my trailer with my arch/winch system.

What a great day. We'll go back for the other two logs in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait to mill them. There's no black cherry where I live, so this is a real treat.
