I'm late seeing this but cool!
Happy New Year to you too!
(I need to remember to keep track and say thanks to many things too!)

Thanks for all the thoughts and feedback. I was thinking about it as much for just fun/tinkering as anything else. I've designed/engineered portable power distribution systems and have gone through...

Hi All,

Has anyone built or installed a panel of meters or power monitor to track your electric service/use in your shop?
I will be redoing a corner of my basement into a small workshop area. I...

Thanks John. I'm looking at low angle block planes. I knew they were a lot but I'm still choking on the prices....they definitely weren't in the budget for this project! I know they'll be worth it...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I won't be back there to work on if for a few weeks but I wanted to plan my attack now. The table saw suggestion would work on the design but the amount of...

I hear ya. I'm afraid that either plane would tear up the edges. When I was putting it in on location with limited tools I tried taking it down with a ROS but that process was painfully slow,...

Without going into too much detail, I just completed my first "true" woodworking project this weekend: A closet organizer for my daughter. All in all I'm very pleased with the results but I ran...

Thanks John, I'll give it a shot. (Sorry, I thought you were originally criticizing my original goal. I misunderstood your first post.)

The table (and possible other projects) are all going to be rustic and simple and I believe (won't know for sure until I try it) that this surface effect will add to what I'm looking for. The Makita...

Not sure if I'm listing this in the right place. I'm looking for methods to "raise the grain" like the Makita 9741 Wheel Sander does ( http://www.timberwolftools.com/tools/makita/M-9741.html ). ...

I found out that it's a Type 5. So being that's a plastic pulley I'm figuring I should stay away (unless it can be replaced at a reasonable cost).

Thanks Mickey. I'll see if the seller can tell me the "Type". So if I understand you correctly, the Type 6 went back to the metal pulley? Can the plastic pulley be replaced with a metal pulley? ...

Can anyone give me an idea as to where a 4 yr old Porter Cable 352VS Belt Sander would fit in in terms of Porter Cable quality? From what I understand the sander is in excellent condition but I do...

I might just have to do that! :)

Hi. Does anyone have any thoughts on the new Bosch JS470E jig saw that is replacing the 1590 EVSK? I was all set to get the 1590 based on countless stellar reviews but now I see that this is coming...

I just bought and used the Bosch two weeks ago to put a in a floor. It worked great! I've since used it to make miter cuts in some jigs to hold quarter round molding while I painted it. I can...

I would love to see a picture of that!!!
