    I bought a sander locally, had to wait ten days or so, and paid sales tax on it. I've purchased from Bob Marino before with no problems.

    If you work there hours a day, if you're passionate about woodworking, then I'd recommend gluing up solid wood. I build an office area in my basement and used ash for the computer desk top, and I...

    If you end up installing quality over the blade collection, I'd suspect that the four inch outlet under the saw would be sufficient, particularly if you are pulling with the Clearvue. I have a...

    I saw Lowe's had a selection of 1", 1 1/4", and 2 1/2" screws available in a kit--what you might do is buy the kit (under $30) and see what you need/use the most.

    I agree. And, you might just find some comparable molding off the shelf (maybe stack two profiles?) and mount them on flat backs; however, if you are like me and like to get new tools, good luck...

    I upgraded my shop-vac to one of the larger Ridgid models, and it is much quieter than my fifteen-year-old Shop Vac. Of course, even the old Shop Vac sounds mousy compared to my Clearvue--that thing...

    If you're coming up to Asheville you might also check out Gennett Lumber down on the river. One bonus is that they are next to a pretty decent barbecue place, 12 Bones. Good luck with the hunt!

    I own the EZ track and use a Dewalt saw that I'm not real happy with as it is easily knocked out of adjustment, so unless I double check, the cut may not be a perfect 90 degrees. I suspect that the...

    I bought the Steel City benchtop mortiser and have liked it. Fairly easy to use, and the chisels that came with it are (as far as I can tell) decent.

    It might be that if you cut a hollow core door, you may decrease its structural inegrity. In the past when I've removed doors, the surfaces sometimes get really flexy once the outer frame is cut.
