Love the Talon hooks - the only issue is that you better not need to move them once set. It's not impossible but not that easy. If you're like me you buy tools all the time (yardsales and what not) -...
My biggest problems with the overall designs:
1. Horizontal filter - any way you can turn the whole cyclone body so the fiter is through the wall on the left? I don't think you're going to be too...
I completely walled off my workshop from the rest of the basement - it has doors on either end (this keeps the dust away from my furnace). I then installed a 2 HP cyclone in the corner - since in...
Do 6" as close to the each machine as possible then size down to the DC collar on the machine. The additional cross section of the pipe pulls in more of the "fines" - it's the stuff you don't see...
When selecting my ducting I compared pricing between PVC and snap-lock and found the snap-lock to be cheaper - mostly due to the cost of any wyes or bends. I'm running a 2 HP Grizzly and have had no...
It's my opinion that if you have experience wiring a regular 120 circuit that wiring a 240 is well within the range of a DIY project. Just make sure you read the various install tutorials and...
The thing no one has mentioned and that's perhaps the most important - it's not the dust you can see that's the most harmful to your lungs - it's the very small stuff (less than 1 micron) that stays...
Have to remember what they are somehow don't I....?
I just blogged about where I am with my shop build:

I don't know if I would bother taking it apart - I've seen one that was handled that way and after planing there was quite a bit of wood loss. It might be better if you used it as a temp on your...
Count me in too!

Uh - I don't remember if I replied but I'd like to be in (just in case!).

Count me in, please!

Wow! Enter me please!

How about splitting first then working down the splits to usable widths?

I don't own a #2 (or a #1 for that matter) - actually I can't think of very many applications where either would be useful, or that I couldn't get around not owning one by using something else or a...
Most of the molding planes I see are made for joiners - the angle isn't conducive to cutting profiles in hardwoods. You might want to look at what you have and keep the ones with the higher angle as...
Hey Martin,
I have quite a few "oddballs" like yours - I've sort of given up sourcing the makers in many cases - I've got some heavy mortise chisels, probably from timber framing that appear to...
I find on very sharp tools, say those with acute angles for carving, the strop will revive the edge very quickly - I try to keep a strap near where I'm working. I can usually strop a handful of times...
Something I've always wondered - if you have a 10 1/2 or similar what's the purpose of the lateral adjuster? If you're working to close up the mouth for a parellel cut and use the adjuster (typical...
Reviving an older threat - I recently picked one of these up from the original owner - the rollers are cracked which I expected, but mine has a dust shroud - from some of the earlier posts this...
Esthetically I like the delicate, rounded totes of the type 11s, and for users the heavier soles on the type 17s. I have a few SW tools and other than the logo they seem to me to be of the same...
Another vote for the HF unit - I bought a couple when they were on sale for $7 last year - have one on my GO555 and it works well. The only issue is that the shade is very light weight aluminum and...
I thought I'd add some info as I went through this recently on my own home, a friend's home and a rental property.
First some information on Roof Venting - basically you need to have either an...
