I went to check my membership status, and am not sure how to do that with the changes. I cannot find the membership link that used to give us the status. I can log in, so I believe I am current. But I have not gotten my journal yet and want to make sure I renew membership for this year.

I am making and selling wooden screws. I currently have Hard Maple screws in stock, but can make them out of any wood. I can also make them any size, or length. All of the screws and nuts are 1 solid piece of maple, no glue-ups. They have a slot for an internal or external garter. They use a...

I haven't received the 2018 journal yet and was trying to check my current membership status to see if I missed a year. I am able to log in to the members only section. But can't find anything showing my current standing. I am pretty sure I renewed for 2019, but can't find my current standing...

I have a piece of Honduran mahogany that measures 14'long x 34" wide x 2" thick. nice ribbon stripped grain. I am selling this for a former SAPFM members widow. This is a real nice piece and hard to find length and width. I am looking for offers. I am not willing to sell it for pennies, but...

I seem to remember hearing something a while back about renewing membership by the end of October in order to receive the journal. I did not get a reminder to do so and just checked my renewal date, which it stated as January. I just renewed today. Did I miss this years journal? Am I remembering...

My glue brush tips have turned into mushrooms, so it's time to replace them. I was wondering how do you store your glue brushes to keep the tips nicely shaped. I just toss mine in my glue pot which results in the mushrooms. Do you do anything different that makes them last a long time? Also...

The title says it all. I'm looking for 16/4 hard maple. Does anyone know of a supplier? I bought all of Irion's and everywhere else I've tried doesn't have any.

I was wondering if anyone has any pictures and/or measurements of Robert walker tea tables tables. Specifically the ones at MESDA and Stratford hall plantation. I have a few pictures and details from the article in 2006 American furniture "Scottish Design and Colonial Virginia Furniture...

I just heard about a new Magazine called "mortise and tenon" http://www.mortiseandtenonmag.com/ it looks like something our members would be interested in. The first issue features member Phil Lowe. No affiliation just thought I'd pass this along.

I am going to the Handworks event in Amana IA. on May 15th and 16th (http://handworks.co/). I don't know if SAPFM will have a booth or if there are any formal plans to meet up, but it would be nice to meet up with a group of members. I also have an extra ticket for the Studley event on...

In this post from the Anthony Hay blog (http://anthonyhaycabinetmaker.wordpress.com/2013/08/13/walnut-desk-and-bookcase-part-i-the-bookcase/) they show added corners at the top of the door. The pictures clearly show the grain is at an angle to both the rail and stile, so if they were to glue it...

I am sick of my pine, plywood, and MDF, twisted, wobbly bench, and am ready to build a new one. I am looking for opinions on the length. currently I am planning on a 6' bench. But I could get away with an 8' one. But really I can only think of 2 times I would have needed a bench that long, and...
