If there's Moxie in heaven he's having one right now. RIP Andy.

The site's looking good, Glenn. My only suggestion would be to spend the few extra bucks it'd take and register your own domain name and pay a hosting company for web space. Having a web address like...

Just a small correction, but the mini is not really identical to the full rig. It is very similar, but scaled smaller.The mini has a 5/" boring bar and the big one uses a 3/4" bar. Other parts are...

A few dabs of hot melt glue can be more stable than double sided tape. Easy to knock the MDF off after you're done running it through the table saw, too.

Plunge router with a spiral downcut bit? You can clamp a straight board to the top to use as a guide.

This guy has a bunch of videos showing skew tips he learned from Eli Avisera. Here's the first of the skew sharpening videos:

+1 on the Little Giant ladders. I own one of the lighter weight models and it's fine for me at about 180 pounds as long as I'm not also lifting something heavier than a can of paint with me. Being...

I'll third the opinion on the Woodslicer being the wrong blade for the job. It's great for cutting straight lines in thick dry wood, but it's not suited at all for cutting curves in wet wood.

I...

The black and white wires can go to either of the spade lugs, and the green wire will go to the round (ground) lug. As long as you get the green one on the right lug, the other two are...

You've done a good job, but you're right about having room for improvement. I agree with David about the location of the shoulder. I also notice that the bottom half below the shoulder appears to be...

Another similar and common scam is an official looking email from the IRS that says your tax return was rejected. Like Jeff said, the IRS would NEVER send you a notice like this through email. Don't...

I've used several carbide tools, some homemade and some bought from small one-man manufacturers. I find they are a good addition, but not a full replacement for a good bowl gouge. I will say that the...

My vote would be for the shop crane/engine hoist. I've rented one for 25 or 30 bucks to move shop equipment.

They seem to have eased up on the "import" tax. In the early 90s the costs were crazy to bring a car in that didn't have the CA-specific anti-smog parts. Last I heard, they are not doing that...

I lower my blade when I'm not making a cut, so that's not an issue for me. I don't set up to use the router and saw at the same time.

Mine is on the left side. I also attach my router fence to the TS fence, and it's just easier for me to work off the same side of the fence as I do with the saw. The router is not in the way at all...

That's where I'd start. A rip-specific blade should help, as has been suggested. Also, if possible, when checking the fence and blade alignment I'd use something that can measure smaller increments...

You can get a very similar DC from Harbor Freight for $189, and even less if you can find one of their 20% off coupons. Don't even bother with the 5 micron filter bag, and immediately upgrade to a...

When you're viewing a thread, near the top right corner of every page is a drop-down menu than says "Display Modes". Click that and you'll see the options available. I like Linear Mode myself.

Just to pick nits a little, the horsepower really plays no part in the equation. You could have a 10 HP motor hooked up to a 2 CFM pump, and it won't be enough to run the Grex. ;) The Grex wants...

Sounds like something is restricting the airflow, or you got a lemon. I run my Grex around 80 psi, but even at 40 or 50 PSI, I doubt I could stall it.

I'm in a similar boat. I don't have the latest or greatest, but I have what I need to make what I like to make. I still enjoy reading them, but I find that tool catalogs don't quite excite me the way...

Roy Buchanan?

Beautiful guitar, George. Very nicely done.

There were a few miners in the wee hours of the morning that the President was not on hand to greet as they stepped out of the capsule. He went to his on-site motorhome for a few hours of sleep,...

Out of curiosity, why two different brands? Both are excellent chucks, but you lose the interchangeability of the jaws.



Just guessing here, but is there a possibility the reduced worldwide...
