There's usually quite a bit of time and money between a prototype and robust, close-to-foolproof day-in-and-day-out production unit that will withstand years of abuse, vibration, dust, etc. So that...

I hope so...

I guesss that our local glass shops - or the four that I called, anyway - didn't know about this because all of them insisted that there is no such thing as mirror glass for bathrooms. Mebbe I...

We thought about that and might still go that route - my wife prefers it, I think - but one twist in all this is that there is tile a good ways up the wall which was partly cut out to hold the last...

Shadowing through??? SOmething else to worry about.... one of my backup plans was instead of wood strips, use a bunch of glaziers' points all around... I have a life time supply of those laying...

We need a new mirror for one of our bathrooms. It will be roughly 3'h X 4'w. I would like to buy mirror glass and build a frame for it. I have two questions (welll.... two sets of questions....). ...

Because until Glass tackled this issue, manufacturers could blow it off: it was a matter of "this is the way it's always been, tools are dangerous and that's life." And woodworkers had no choice...

How do we ultimately pay the bill any more than we pay for *every* advertisers' bill? If you are saying that the post office is funded by the federal gov't, do you know how much federal money it...

Mass mailings have been the postal service's bread and butter for a long time and the drop in the volume of that mail that is one of the bigger revenue problems it is having now.

I haven't seen any in a long time. My parents had a pair of very nice and well-made walnut veneer wall units made of lumber core plywood, with thicker veneer surfaces than anyone makes now.

Living in the U.S., it's also spooky to have posts disappear from a thread without a trace or any mention, as though they never existed.

... and then there are business names with second meanings. Three from my area:

Amigone Funeral Home (a local chain with 15 locations)
Muck Motors (Ford dealership)
Tinney Cadillac ...

Apparently the following effectively said that Ken was the person who deleted the post. It turns out that that is not the case, and I apologize for my error.

It was the second one: the thread is still there and there are additional posts to it since I put in mine but mine disappeared. I'm not against censorship on public sites for policy infractions...

It's also too bad when you find one of your posts erased without any clue from the moderator as to why.

The best part, for me, is that when the TV was smashed, I immediately thought "I wonder how many they broke working on this?" and a second later, the ball rolled by all of them.

I am not sure how much of this is "Group Think" as opposed to "Check-Off Listitis." Something that vendors run into all over the map is that if one manufacturer comes out with a new feature that...

I tried both and decided on the 55. I am glad that I did: there have been only two times that I had something that couldn't be handled in one pass with either the 55 or my CMS.

I don't have Stanleys, but I've not been all that thrilled with the Besseys either. I also have some Jets and I find them easier to use, tho they are bulkier, which often is not ideal. Bessey has...

It's funny because I agreed with you, but 10 minutes ago I ran across an article on the smithsonian site that said that in fact those arguments may be/probably are? true; give examples, etc.

Isn't there something on/with the saw that allows you to test for that before trying to cut the wood?

Same here. I figured that by the time I got to 60 (yrs, not mph) I'd have gotten past that, but no dice, still smack it into something at least once a week AND, since I've lost all the hair on top,...

You're right, but what I do see in every thread about SS is the claim that people who buy SSs do so because they don't want to take the time & effort to be careful and work with respect for what a...

That's true, but given the choice (and availability of/willingness to spend the funds), having both would be ideal, IMO. My choice will probably come down to the contractor version of the SS or a...

Rockler is selling the Jet JDP-17FSE drill press for $299 on Saturday.
