Hi there - thanks for the response... I was thinking of skipping the drawers on the bow and just making it simpler. I've never done something like this and honestly don't know where to start on how...

Hi there!

I'm considering starting a new project, a project which would be the largest / most complex I've attempted to date. I was wondering if anyone know of plans that I could use for the...

Thanks for the tip Steve - I just purchased a second grrripper and a steel micro jig (which was also $10 off.)

I use a set of Shure E4C in ear canal earphones - they work just like earplugs but also as headphones for my iPod. Great since it is hearing protection and spectacular sound quality headphones in...

Thanks for all the useful info. Not sure where I got the idea that it had a 1.2mm nozzle. Looks like the standard 1.5mm is just on the edge of Jeff's recommendation. I'll start with that and if...

What nozzle size should I be using with Oxford 9000 series poly on my Porter-Cable PSH-1 HVLP gun?

Thanks for the kind words on my sketchup model.

Thanks for the suggestion. You are correct on the storage front... I think I'll try ot make a verison like you suggested and see how it looks (and how it fits into the room.) I'll...

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the input. My hope is to create an island like table that allows for both sitting or standing. I figured I could sit at a stool if wanted or else stand when working -...

I bought a pair of shure e3c headphones about a year and a half ago - I use them on my ipod. The sound quality is absolutely amazing - these headphones fit into your ears like "foamies" so they...

Sad story here... my wife and I bought a new dining room table over the weekend. It was a floor model so we purchased an outstanding table at what we felt was a great price. In case anyone here wants...
