I have two quick questions:

• Does the discount from Benchcraft expire?
  
• What is the discount amount?

Thanks!]]> Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:47:23 +0000 http://woodtalkonline.com/topic/6343-benchcraft-discount/ http://woodtalkonline.com/topic/5096-need-a-bench/ I've been thinking for a few months now about pulling the trigger on a guild membership, but I have been meaning to build my bench first. I've read most of "Workbenches" by Christopher Shwarz over the past few weeks to get my creative juices going. Then I go onto the website and see lo-and-behold that the next project is a Benchcrafted Split-Top Roubo Workbench. WOOT! That bench fits all my criteria for a really great bench. I only have one problem.. cost

The site mentions the hardware will be discounted but not by how much. I want to get started on my bench now, but if the hardware is truly a reasonable price (and I would say the benchcrafted.com prices are rather unreasonable) I would definitely wait and become a guild member. I know, I have to pay the price to get the quality, but just like everyone else I know that every dollar I spend on my bench is a dollar less I can spend on my next project.. sigh.. Anyway, any word on the price for the hardware?]]> Thu, 13 Oct 2011 23:36:24 +0000 http://woodtalkonline.com/topic/5096-need-a-bench/ http://woodtalkonline.com/topic/1003-guild-build-idea-catching-on/

Build a Workbench with John Tetreault]]> Thu, 13 Oct 2011 00:14:43 +0000 http://woodtalkonline.com/topic/1003-guild-build-idea-catching-on/ http://woodtalkonline.com/topic/5013-several-questions/
1. Do I understand correctly that the information is NOT presented in a " if you want to know this you'll be here Friday at 8:13 am" kinda way but rather it's archived so I can go get it at my liesure, over and over, if needed to get it through my thick skull?

2. This is the question I really really should know but I just don't. Can someone please explain in plain english what is a podcast and how does it work?(by how it works I mean how do I view/listen/download etc not the ins and outs of computer code )

3. When you say you recieve a "packet" prior to each build is that in the form of email, snail mail or do I download it from the site?

I suppose that's all the questions. Thank you all for your help and thank you Marc for putting the plethera (sp?) of info you've put out.

I have just joined the Guild and am rather new to wood working.

I am wondering if there is a good clear resource that us newbies can use to learn the most basic of techniques?

As an example I am trying to understand how to do the following

• The hand plan (what is it for and when should I use it?)
  
• To plan vs. sand. I have built the “end grain” cutting board and would like to know what technique to use for the best finish.
  
• How best to laminate a surface? I have built a desk (the Kreg student desk) and would like to better protect the top from the damage a teenager will cause.

My hope would be that there is a common resource I can review so I do not overwhelm the forum with embarrassing questions.

Thanks

If any members have been to a classroom environment and also have finished a project with the guild please take a minute and compare the two for me.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks Jeff]]> Thu, 16 Jun 2011 21:15:17 +0000 http://woodtalkonline.com/topic/4184-how-to-upload-guild-build-photos/ http://woodtalkonline.com/topic/443-guild-gear-and-the-guild-store/
Any time frame on when you will be getting Guild specific gear out and available (with that elusive new Guild logo)? Will there be a separate "Guild Store"? Inquiring minds want to know.

Cheers

Being a new woodworker I don't have the full compliment of tools yet. What would be a recommended tools needed to complete most of the guild builds. Specifically do you need a planer and jointer? I have a table saw, bandsaw, router w/table and drill press, as well as some smaller power tools (drills, sanders etc). Also what hand tools are required? I would like to join, but if I need more tools, I can wait until I purchase those. I apologize if this list is somewhere on the site, I looked but couldn't find anything. Thanks!
