I think I will too. It's gonna take a while to get it set up. It's filthy. So I've got to do a deep cleaning. And there's some repairs I need...

I found a 17" Grizzly G0513ANV for a great price and picked it up yesterday (8 hours of driving a U-Haul trailer on back roads was no fun). The...

Anytime I've experienced tearout with my DW735, I just take a smaller bite and it clears up. You can plane against the grain with the stock knives,...

From an engineering standpoint, I can't help but feel you're adding extra complexity, and thus increasing the odds of failure, for very little...

I wouldn't pay it any mind. Epoxy pours are very popular right now, which also means they are very unpopular with a certain population. It's...

I use paraffin wax for pretty much everything. Paraffin is cheap, versatile, easy to find (I get it at the grocery store) and it works. Plus it's...

Founder's grade /ˈfoundərs ɡrād/ adjective 1. a description of a cast metal object of unknown quality 2. an embellishment disguised as a...

$450 for a workbench in 2009 sounds like quite a bargain now!

I'm not seeing a whole lot on the used market. The Laguna LT16 SEC (Meber) and a Mini Max E16 (Centauro) have popped up. Both look to be in really...

I love it! That's kind of what I did for a while. Only I ran 4ft long F clamps across the top of my table, because there isn't a lip underneath. ...

Using new glue, I've had no problems with TB3 in temperatures applied near the bottom of their recommendations, with overnight temps dropping near,...

1. I can't say for sure about the blades. You may want to remove the old blades and take some measurements. But so long as their the same length,...

$30 for all of that? That's crazy! I couldn't buy that much pine for that price!

In my experience, this is every profession. And more important than business savvy, if you want to consider it a separate thing, is networking. I...

I'm sure some still do. But I wouldn't be surprised if most, especially the younger generations, haven't gotten away from that. I know it was...

When glueing end grain to end grain with a PVA glue, it's best to mix up a 50/50 mixture of water and glue and apply that to the end grain. Then...

I've read a lot of people complaining about it failing on them. But personally, I've never had an issue. I used it on some outdoor planters a few...

I'm flexible on budget. It's gonna cost what it costs and I have a bit of money saved up. But I'm not rich, so I every dollar spent towards a...

It's not as bad as it sounds. And no, I'm very skinny (except for my pot belly). You just take lots of little breaks to catch your breath and focus...

A Hock blade and chip breaker would be a worthy upgrade for that plane. So I wouldn't say no to it, since those are things I would probably want to...

Thank you. This also helps out a lot. I think I'm learning what I need to know. And I'm leaning towards a new G0513, depending on what I can...

With all due respect, I think I understand a lot better what you're saying than you understand what I'm saying. And that's perfectly understandable....

That's my thinking. I'm okay with the idea of taking an excruciatingly long time resawing a 12" board, as I won't do it much (if ever). Two hours...

Yeah. Hardwood doesn't always mean hard wood. Good examples are balsa, a hardwood with a 300 Janka hardness, or Yew, a softwood with a 1520 Janka...

I'm okay with having to flatten the board after resawing. I do that now when I resaw by hand. Plus, any wood I buy has to be planned flat. I'm not...

I didn't read the article, but that's what I heard. It worked. But it used a different technology from SawStop and in order for it to work right,...

I could see that being an issue. But I haven't experienced that yet. And I usually chamfer or round over the edges of pretty much anything I make...

What about a Laguna LT16 SEC (Meber)? I found one in good shape with lots of add-ons. I've heard both good and bad things about the Meber variant. ...

That's good info. Thanks for posting!
