Tenons on the jointers?

From Travis:
What, if something, is the protection concern with utilizing a jointer to chop tenons? I’m cautious to maintain the pushpad over that “outcropping” (within the aircraft of the infeed wing) and never over the blade. I get the width of the reduce set with the jointer unplugged … and make sure on a check piece. I type of really feel like this could appear sketchy/harmful, however my spidey senses don’t tingle in any respect throughout the operation.

Prefinishing round joinery

From Seth:
Hello gang, I’ve a couple of questions on prefinishing components earlier than gluing up. I’m at the moment making an attempt this for the primary time. The challenge is a small drawer unit for my hand device cupboard, and the end I’m utilizing is 50% diluted shellac. I did easy dado and rabbet joinery on the case, and I masked with blue tape the entire joinery areas I didn’t belief myself to dodge with the comb. Nonetheless, the shellac seeped underneath the tape in some areas. Is that this because of the shellac being too skinny? Is masking joinery even possible? Is the comb the issue? I’d love to listen to your ideas on it. Thanks a lot!

Planing drawers with out tearout

From Tim:
I used to be making some dovetailed drawers. After the glue-up, I needed to aircraft the joints flush. However the drawer components have the grain operating in a single course. So that they need to be planed in a single course. If i comply with that course the endgrain of the dovetails may tear out one one facet. Alternatively, when planing from the joints to the center of the drawer on one of many passes, I’ll get tearout on the face grain of the drawer components. How do you deal with that downside? Leaving the joints proud will not be what I’m on the lookout for.
