That's really well said, Brodie. While both shows have their less-than-desirable aspects, I also appreciate both shows for their different approaches - I like to think Norm's work is on the more...

I would also suggest dust collection and an air cleaner. Like Glenn said, this will help you enjoy the hobby for a long, long time.

Also, you can never have enough clamps...

I have that Delta...

That's a really nice jig, Bill! I remember watching an episode of New Yankee Workshop when Norm built one similar, and I thought it would be nice to use T-Track. It looks like you're a few steps...

I've seen a forum signature (maybe it's here) that says something to the effect of "If we learn from our mistakes, then my brain is about to explode."

I think that pretty much sums up my style! ...

I liked option 1 the best. The reason I don't like option 2 is because of the two workbenches being butted up against one another. It makes the work surface and storage space below less accessible....

I have a JDS-750 in a 600 square foot garage with a 9' ceiling, and it works great.

Once you decide on a model, placement will be a big factor in the overall performance. There are a couple of...

Thanks to everyone for your replies. Fortunately, one of our fellow Creekers stepped up and helped me out. I'm soon to be the proud owner of a ~1941 Duro 15" scroll saw. It's old school, but it...

If it's any consolation, DIY has put some Wood Works episodes up online:

Hi Everyone,

Sorry if this is kind of an open question that's been asked a million times before, but I didn't get much in my search.

I am interested in building wooden gear clocks. I find...

I don't know what kind of timeline you've got, but with that much fill needed I'd also let it settle for a year before pouring the concrete and building. Otherwise, you might have a lot of cracking.

Have you thought about using track lighting? The nice thing about it is that you can focus your light where you are working. You could lay out quite a bit of track to start with - maybe on multiple...

+1 for the Rustoleum epoxy flooring. I did mine about 4 years ago and it's holding up very well, although the areas where I park the cars are worn through. I went with the gray and it lightened...

Well said, Mike. I can't add anything to say it better.

I also appreciate your post, Gary. You made me think. My condolences go out to Chris's family and friends. With him in mind, tomorrow...

Here's another place to find interlocking padding floor mats - eBay's fitness section:

I agree with Denny. I've also had good luck with epoxy and I like it a lot. It makes a huge difference for sweeping and mopping. On the flip side, it can also be very slippery when wet, and won't...

Is that the "zipcode" saw (model 22124)?

I've heard good things about it. From my...

I know you hate wearing a cartridge mask, but the one I use is a single cartridge unit and not too heavy:
...

I actually learned to like the delay, once I got used to it. It helps keep me from stripping screws.

Wow, guys - thanks for all the replies! As always, I know I can get good information here on SMC. It looks like I have a couple of good options to consider, although I'm really intrigued by the...

I am looking to buy a circular saw. Basically, just a standard-issue 7 1/4" saw for use in my home shop, cutting panels using an edge guide and stuff like that.

After a little bit of research and...

I am also very happy with my Bosch tools - Bosch is the first place I look when I need a new tool. It all started with a Bosch miter saw, and now the majority of my handheld power tools are Bosch.
...

I've also bought a few items (KV drawer slides and Amerok handles) through Woodworker's Hardware as well, although I actually bought from them through Amazon.com. I've had good luck with them, so...

Jim and Pete,

If I'm not mistaken, you are describing the Belt-Alternator-Starter system being used on the Saturn Vue, Saturn Aura, and Chevy Malibu mild hybrids. When my wife and I bought our...

I'm looking forward to hearing how the spray foam insulation works for you - I've really been interested in the whole concept.

Do you have the link to your shop pictures?

I was just looking at Mike Harris's beautiful table that he's entered in the Fine Woodworking magazine contest. I get inspiration from a lot of projects I see on TV, in magazines, and on the 'Net,...
