So I've decided to give building something with reclaimed wood that I have found myself in the possession of. I was curious if we had any options available at the HackFactory for joining wood (bits (or router for that matter), joiner for doing biscuits, etc) I wanted to start playing with this and need to figure out if I have to acquire some tools or what, if anything is presently available. Thoughts?

I've done biscuit joining at the HF in the past, so I know at least we HAD the tools to do it. You might want to walk through the shop and make sure it's still there.

We have a mortising machine, a biscuit joiner, dovetail router bits/guides, a fussy home made Box Joint Jig, and plenty of chisels if you wanted to make joints by hand.

Fairly certain that there's still pocket screw and dowel jigs floating around too.

Darn it - I forgot that one! :-) We actually have a few different Pocket screw jigs of varying sizes.

We also have nails...as long as you don't mind scrounging through a rusty bucket of nails to find the right size... :-)
