Yowzah, sure I'm in for this one, thx!
Count me in! Super give away!
...some great ideas and pics. I was blown offline for a few days, just got back on, and I'm impressed with the thoughts and pics that you all have shared.
I still can't find the picture I saw that...
Yup, now yooz guys got the ball rolling! I like what I'm seeing and hearing, keep it coming! :p
Graham as come close to what I'm envisioning, some kind of rack with a handle. that could be used for regular storage or moved from place to place. I was hoping for some pics or plans of how others...
Hey gang,
I've recently changed my shop layout, and it's a hike from my new main bench location out in the open to the wall-mounted chisel racks I've used for years. How about some ideas or pics for...
...what you're really referring to is 'sign board' or MDO, the actual industry name (Medium Density Overlay). You'll find it's more commonly known as MDO and readily available (and cheaper) or can be...
As a pro, I give one price, delivered, and get 50% down 'to cover the cost of materials' when we sign the contract. That's it. The client doesn't need to know all that stuff, and shouldn't in my...
I'll toss my hat in the contenders ring too, thx!
I use reclaimed wood quite a bit, and I sprung for the Little Wiz, paid about $16 for it two or three years ago and have not been disappointed, it's saved me a few sets of planer knives and a saw...
...and I'm very happy with it. I've never had to do any jointing after, it's off the saw and into clamps. I use it as a jointer in that sense for smooth edges. I've found it will crosscut adequately...
Glad to see another frugal sawdust sucker who at least makes the effort to make do--some guys would just toss a broken stone and buy another. I dropped a very fine 'found' stone of unknown grit or...
using my two old Makita 9.6 volt cordless drills every single day, one bought new in 1990 I think and the other 1992. Just had six batteries rebuilt within the past year, still going strong, and they...
have been made for years boats with plywood and epoxy for diesel fuel, water, waste, and in industry for chemical tanks like plating and stripping. Nothing new there. If you want to go that route,...
and I'm sure many 'hobbyists' do work as fine or better than some self-proclaimed 'professionals'. I personally don't refer to myself as a 'professional' (other than in the context of this thread). I...
Above the fold the sainted Mr. Krenov was quoted on his self-proclaimed 'amateur' status. That was a bit out of context IIRC, and in the original writings, he defined amateur and pro (to paraphrase)...
interesting comments. Curiously, when I first responded the issue of competency or skill level never entered my mind, since I never have felt there was any connection between the term and the quality...
Thx for the comeback and comments. I worked as a millwright, apprentice machinist (basic industrial stuff) and iron worker ina previous life, but never realized that HSS drills were softer at the...
Well how else do we get all the great new ideas, right?
Drew, I assume you mean install the new Velcro? The manual says to remove the old stuff, and clean the drum well, then it gives application...
Watch that stuff! To paraphrase an old favorite saying, 'Yesterday I couldn't spell 'arteest', and today I are one!" :p
I had to embrace that whole field once I wanted to break into studio...
on that one. By the strictest definition a pro would simply make money from his woodworking, but in my circles you need to make all or a significant portion of your income from the work at least, and...
That's a serious machine! Can you tell us more about it? Is it yours?
Now, if you just want it hauled away, I can be there in about...16 hours maybe. :D
A very nice piece of work!
For those of us that know more about wood than metal, can you comment on how the HSS compares to other types of steel one might find or use? I'm currently just using a...
Yes indeed, that was the one and the article I believe, tho there have been several reviews in the past few years I think. I get a mess of magazines, so I didn't want to hazard a guess which one I...
Not only do we all have our opinions, but ways of doing things. I've seen all the various jigs for routing mortises in books and magazines, and I've given it a fair shot, but I always fell back on my...
