I have a Harbor Freight "2HP" dust collector. I haven't fully integrated it with ducting and a permanent housing yet, but I've made some modifications such as a Thein baffle and a 55 gallon drum for...

I'm not so lucky in my area. I've been stalking Craigslist and other sources for old "arn" for years and have had very little luck. What does pop up is usually way overpriced. I have a small...
Of course there are better options, but I'm trying to work with what I have.
The lowest speed setting on this router is 8,000 rpm. As I mentioned, I would use pulleys, not direct drive of the...
I've been thinking about dust collection a lot lately. My current dust collection method is wait until it settles and clean it up with a shopvac and broom. But I want to improve that with a decent...
The only thing better than a Shopsmith is multiple Shopsmiths. I have 4. One Mark 5 (Model 500 that I've cut 14" off the tubes to make it a "shorty"). Three Model 10ERs (circa 1948-1952, predating...
Thanks! I didn't follow any plans. Just built it on the fly.
Gordon, I really like that. Do you have any plans or can you explain how it was built? Did you use 2x4s for the face frame?

It has come time to build an outfeed table for it. I'd like...
Thanks for the replies, everyone! My question was based on just one quick phone call with Dad. I'll print this thread out and take it when I go visit this weekend and I'll discuss it more with him....
Does anybody have any experience selling lumber? My dad is looking into buying a portable sawmill and he has a source for as many free felled trees as he can handle and is wondering what it might...
Greetings fellow woodworkers. I've made a few posts here but have lurked on and off. I'm a relative woodworking newbie - not many tools, not much experience, not many projects under my belt, but a...
LOL Point taken!
So maybe I should rephrase the question. Will that compressor do...for now... :D
Budget is a big issue here, so I'm trying to meet the needs that I have right now, but not...
Can I use a HVLP spray gun with this compressor? I don't have an air compressor and I've been telling my wife that I need one and now that she's wanting to repaint the kitchen cabinets and a couple...
You can read the scanned newspaper article here.
Thanks for the compliments guys. I was really quite proud of both projects, but the shadow box was the most challenging because it required more hand tool work and more precision. Plus, it was for...
I'm a very novice woodworker so keep that in mind looking at these projects. This is the first year I was able to give hand made items for Christmas.
The first project is a "Cowboy Cooler" I...
I'm a woodworking newbie and I've never used anything but basic stains before last week. I finished a project for my dad (Vietnam medals display case) made from oak with "natural" Watco Danish Oil...
