Huh, I didn't know about the nails. Will the screws suffice? This is just a personal project and will not remain in the house when/if we move. It isn't anything structural as well, just an...

Hopefully this won't be to confusing of a picture to imagine.
So I have a 4 1/2' 2x4. At each end, 3 inches in I have a Strongtie Double Shear Joist hanger holding a 3.5" 2x4. The JH is attached...
In thinking through some options. If I did do a free standing a-frame, how high up would my supports need to be? And how wide would my bottom support need to be? Would the diagonal sides of the A...
It's been a while since I've asked a question, so here it is! I'm young, as so I'm not that familiar with some of the older tools. But I'm looking for something like a hand drill, but that would...
Thanks Dave and Bill for the descriptions. I'd definitely appreciate some pictures and/or drawings so I can visualize your ideas. I like the idea of no bolt holes at all, and being able to move it...
I've stopped getting notification emails. I've checked everything on my end as far as I know. I saw another thread about this, the person added the auto notification email address to their address...
Here are the pictures I've got so far. This will not allow the wall to be angled. If I really wanted to angle the wall with this method, I could build some triangle frames to bolt to the wall...
This is what I have done. The pictures show that I have a 4'x8' wall already built. I'd be interested on your thoughts as far as mounting it and mounting it with a hinge.
Yes, I'm using 3/4"...
The goal of the wall isn't to scale it as fast as possible, but rather to train oneself. There are 128 different holes for various holds. So, I usually start out rather low, and work my way up and...
We are young! And it was her idea to bring it in!
It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm needing help from the SMC hivemind. Here is what I'm working with (problems with the pictures, they are at the bottom).

Your plans look great. A lot better than my single 3/4 mdf over a trash can "table".
What are the main differences between the jointech table and the New Yankee table?
I would build my own...
I pretty much live off of Amazon. Have never been treated poorly, and always feel that they have gone above and beyond. But I've been getting a lot of broken items lately. I ordered a 15 router...
Right now I'm shooting for ultra-simple, so I can just learn about routers, routing, and router tables.
I have a 3/4" MDF top that is about 2'x3'. I built it originally to clamp on to my...
Chuck, There most recent issue of WOOD has an article comparing different dovetale jigs. I think it compares 7 or 8 different models. Very informative to me (also a noob).

The hardwoods that I buy are air dried... does this make them more prone to warping?
I really don't have much spare wood. 5-6 2"x4"'s, and a few larger pieces of hardwood (2"x"8"x9'). I bought some heavy duty brackets from Lee Valley and mounted them high up on the wall in my...
Allen,
Not to highjack your thread, but what do you mean by router sled?
Thanks
It always seems that the good deals come after you just bought that tool. I just got my Bosch 1617 2 base kit this week! I save a little money on it, and I'm extremely happy that I went with the...
What kind of drawer guides are those?
Dig around Pat Warner's site, http://patwarner.com/
But you best bet is to search through the forums for router info. A lot of good posts.
Also, search amazon for router books, read some...
Thanks! I did some web rummaging, and I found a few things that I thought helpful, so I figured I would post them in case anyone else would find them useful as well:
Video about making a simple...
Where could I get longer screws that would work? I'm thinking of a 3/4" MDF top w/ laminate.
And actually, I don't have anything to counter sink, and I don't have a drill press, what would be...
I agree that there are a lot of sub forums. And archival purposes there are not. But, I've seen something about a deal on amazon for several things, but then had to take my best shot as far as what...
So, it seems like all I would have to do is to remove the subbase plate, cut a hole for the bit to come through, and then screw the router fixed base to the table top (masonite w/ plastic top)? I...
