First off, $12,000 is way too much for the bathroom. I installed one in my last detached shop, and probably didn't add more than $1500 to the cost. I did all the work myself except the trench, which...

I would make it at least twice as big and add a 1/2 bath.
My garage shop already had sheetrock, but I installed it hidden anyway. It is actually very simple, just cut sections of the sheetrock away, saving the pieces, then wire as new construction....
I have had many tools delivered from Grizzly over the years, and never requested lift gate service. They always had it anyway. At my present home, a semi can't negotiate the front gate of the...
Great design and craftsmanship. Congratulations on its completion.
I have had these switches that needed repair. It wasn't typically the dust in them, but adjustment that was needed. After looking at them, use an ohmmeter to measure continuity, and insure they make...
I have repaired my deck on my condo in Beaver Creek, Co using concrete patch material available at HD. The spalling is common on decks around here as winter freezing/thawing and some ice thawing salt...
I have one that I just refurbished. The dust collection works great! It has the dust inlets at the end of the belt and at the shroud of the disk. A plenum carries it to the lower stand below the...
The gibs may be set too tight to allow the movement.
A motor can start rough if the start capacitor contacts are dirty or missadjusted. Just a thought.
I went through the buying process almost to the end, but since they are likely on permanant back order, I decided it wasn't worth the hassle to hassle them. And any planer they have I wouldn't be...
I used to have some apartments that
I rented and had occasion to repaint refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, etc many times. Using the epoxy appliance spray cans, they looked good and lasted well...
I have used it and it works fine. It will harden brown also, so should not be used where clear is desired.
With 2" depth to work with, I puthalf thickness of R-13 fiberglass insulation, covered by the R-5 foil backed foam board, foil side to the inside. Made a great difference. It was quite inexpensive.
In an article on "Choosing and using blade cleaners" in Woodsmith's book Table Saw Secrets, they state the manufacturers of Simple Green warn to not use Simple Green for carbide tipped blades as it...
I appreciate the input. I previously had a Griz 20" planer and since I now have a smaller shop am considering the 15" with the sprial cutterhead also. It's a bit of an investment, but all the...
Just this morning I replaced my bladed cutter with a byrd unit on my delta 6"" jointer. Not all the same issues of course, but only two problems came up. Be careful in removing the bearings to avoid...
I've been taking pictures as the unit is being rebuilt. It is mostly together, but am awaiting a few parts I ordered.
After waiting for a miracle, I found one on craigs list and bought a
Powermatic 30b disk belt sander for $150. I am 3/4 through refurbishing it, mostly painting, but also replacing the 3 phase...
The only reason I wouldn't glue the jopints would be if I intended to take things apart in the future.
I have bought reconditioned routers at considerable savings. The latest is an Hitachi 3 1/4 hp one from aaatool.net for $120. I have a similar
Freud unit on my router table at about the same price,...
The title pretty much says it. I have several that I bought with my 20" band saw. They wear quickly and have poor weld spots that go thump-thump as the blade turns. They seem to have widely varying...
I built a cyclone for my 2 hp grizzly dc. Because the installation decreased the bends, etc, the flow actually increased considerably! Almost all of the dust & chips went into the can, and I only...
Congratulations! Great looking boat that you will surely enjoy. I used to have a 38' Cabo Rico sailboat.
I had two brand new motors on my drill press that acted that way. (replaced by the mfg) I later checked them out and found the centrifigal switch for the starting caps not closing properly. Careful...
