Abstract: Cutting assemblies are disclosed that include an entrance portion and a receiving portion, with the receiving portion defining a receiving opening configured to be axially aligned with an entrance opening of the entrance portion when mounted to the surface of a cutting apparatus. Cutting assemblies are also provided that include a material carriage configured to be borne by a cutting apparatus. Cutting assemblies that include a material receiving portion configured to be slidably mounted to a surface of a cutting apparatus are also disclosed. Cutting methods are also disclosed that can include rotating a piece of material around the materials longitudinal axis and delivering the material to a cutting tool while the longitudinal axis of the material is aligned substantially opposite the direction of rotation of the cutting tool.

Abstract: A concentric coaxial cutting machine which cuts cylinders, cylindroids or cones using a chain saw from a single larger object such as a wood tree trunk, a block of ice or a block of plastic.

Abstract: The present invention consists of a main frame that mounts atop a table saw. An axis shaft on a rocker assembly holds a wooden workpiece which is rotated and lowered into the circular cutting blade. Either a radius or square shoulder tenon can be cut depending on the orientation of the axis shaft.

Abstract: A tailstock assembly for a wood-turning lathe which facilitates the drilling of deep bores into long slender wooden workpieces. The tailstock includes a chuck grasping the tail end of the workpiece, said chuck having an axial center bore therethrough providing a guide for a drill inserted therein to make the bore.

Abstract: A new method for the production of furniture is provided comprising the steps of providing tree trunks and branches; debarking, drying and cutting said tree trunks or branches to the desired size; producing tenons and mortises in respective ends of said cut tree trunks or branches, said tenons being sized to cooperatively engage said mortises; and assembling furniture from said cut tree trunks or branches by inserting said tenons into said mortises in order to fix respective tree trunks or branches to one another.

Abstract: An adjustable Violin Peg and Dowel Shaving Device capable of shaving a tapered or non-tapered peg or dowel from a size substantially that of a full size cello peg down to almost the size of a toothpick with only one adjustment. The device comprises two guide bolts each extending along an axis through bores in two substantially rectangular blocks, the first block being secured to the guide bolts and having a V-shaped groove in one side facing the second block, and whereby the second block is movable along said guide bolts having a taper adjusting cutterblade mounted thereon. Two adjusting nuts threadedly received by said guide bolt ends rotatably advance said movable block toward said V-shaped groove which accommodates a peg or dowel for shaving.
