    Chisel storage?

    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...

    I think...

    ...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...

    I'm with Rick above...

    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 weigh in...

    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...

    Hey Mike,

    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...

    Still

    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...

    Tanks

    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,...

    Tom,

    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...

    Oh, one more thing...

    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)...

    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...
