Guess what it's an OC original OC content.

Except as everyone knows, the O in OC original OC content stands for Octopus

Sorry, maybe I wrote something badly - both options are helical.

I'm hoping for thoughts/opinions on 8" Jointer/Planer vs 12.5/13" Planer

get the bigger planer

and a separate 8" jointer

all my other bullshit still applies

ok, some good points in there, butterknife

i think its suuuper rare that i'd buy an 8" wide board though... I think I'm more likely to get the bigger planer

Your point about it maybe not being super sturdy is valid and that's a good portion of the reason i'm finally done with my Mastercraft one... think its flexing a bit

And as I said, I've never meaningfully used a jointer

I need to drill a 2 1/4" hole but my drill bits go up to 2 1/8 and then i have a 2 7/8
thanks obama

I don't want a through-hole, just a recessed hole

I have an insert for my oscillating spindle sander that has the exact right sized hole actually... but its only like 1/8" thick so to use a follower-bit in my router (assuming I could safely hold down my 4x9 work piece) I'd have to raise the insert like 3/4" or something...

Buying a 2 1/4" router bit is $30 and dwarfs the cost of buying the thing i'm building

i don't even know what a 2 1/4" router bit would be... so yes I meant drill bit

I also ended up just drawing a circle and freehand routing it and i'm on the last glueup and its fine

p look like a big flattening bit
but thinking about freehand plunging one is fun

This is the wireless phone charger stand that I built. The body is Tigerwood and the hooks are Maple with Tigerwood inlay.

The bottom slot is for the charger and the middle for the camera-bump on my phone.
All of the routing was done freehand or using some hastily set-up guides to ride the router against.
I rounded off the corners of the body then immediately was mad because I remembered that I had planned NOT to do that because of the maple pieces.

But, I still like how it looks.

It hooks onto my nightstand and can slide back and out of the way if I want that space for anything. The nightstand legs act as stops for the hooks.

The top slot is for chapstick, which as an Albertan, I use multiple times a day 😊
