Looks great. What did you do the walls with. Thanks...Mk

Matt, I was in the same boat that you were about a year ago. I shopped around a bit and found aMiniMax FS 35 Smart at a real good price. I have never looked back. The combo machine is the most used...

Steve, I did waht you are thinking of except all I used was a1 1/2 hp dust collection motor with the impellar and attached it to the outside of the shop. I ran 6" s&d pipe to all machines and ran a...

Bill, I did just what you are thinking about. I used a 1 1/2 hp blower motor mouted to the outside of my shop, changed all my machines to accept a 6" pipe and ran a 6' s&d pipe to the woods. I put...

I put a wood floor down in my shop. It is a young mans job. I looked at the hickory from LL and decided not to go with it based on the feedback from others that have used it. People that I know that...

So whats the problem. I figure that if we all were to make the things that our wife wants us to make, we would have to spend 8-12 hours a day for about a year in the shop. As it is, it takes at least...

Has anyone attended the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship school in Rockport, Maine. I was looking at their 12 week classs. Looks interesting. Thanks..MK

Bill, I have the Rapid Air system in my shop. It was very easy to install. All I did was to make sure that the connections were sealed properly and I used the clips to secure the hose to the walls....

Tom, I was in the same boat as you last year. I decided on the MiniMax FS 35 Smart. I was ready to buy new and found a sweet deal on a used one. MiniMax has a chat board that owners talk regularly,...

I bought this system that you are looking at. It is the same system as Rapid air, except that the connectors are terrible. I kept the manifolds and hose and bought everything else from Rapid Air. My...

Fine Woodworking issue 202. The Ultimate outfeed table. Check this one out...MK

Nothing on my wood floor. Looks just fine and rustic. It is a shop after all...MK

Dan, I built this one out of a Fine Woodworking magazine. I believed they called it the ultimate outfeed table. MK

I finally ordered my G0514x2b bandsaw and received it the 23rd of December. Now the fun begins, right, wrong.

As I finally got aroung to unpacking it a few days later, the fence had a weld burn...

Fred, I was in the same boat as you, and went with the MiniMax FS 35. At 14" and 4.8 hp the decision was easy, also I got a great deal on a used one. You might want to shop around. MK

I just ordered the G0514x2b. I was in the same boat that you were. My shop can handle the bigger jump in hp. I did not want to later on say that I wish I had gone with the bigger machine. I am slowly...

I have two Porter Cable 690 routers. I am always looking for more. Can't have enough. The 690 is a workhorse. Can use it for anything. Routers are like calmps. Never have enough of them when doing a...

I have narrowed it down to the Laguna LT14 SUV bandsaw or the Grizzly G0514x2b. This is a tough choice seeing that they are both the same price. Can anyone help..MK

I have two jigs that I use. I have the Leigh 24 and it is great. You have to keep very good records, so setup is easy and it can be very accurate. For half blinds, I purchased a Wood River half blind...

Mike, I built all of my shop cabinets out of 3/4 plywood. They turned out very strong and true. I went with 1/2 on all of the drawers. Can't go wrong with that set up, and the price difference was...

I am of the school of thought that Dean is. After the turning is done, I dry sand up to the Micro Mesh pads. From there it is wet all the way through to the last pad. The finish is perfect. A little...

I just picked up the air filter and the 1 1/2 Dust collector. Both are very good machines. Easy to install and put together. Together they both do an excellent job. Well worth the money. Hope this...

Pete, I just did that for my shop. 600 sq feet. I put down a vapor barrier on the concrete, then tongue and groove plywood. Nailed it right to the concrete. I found some very nice white oak flooring...

I just picked up the Steel City 17 inch drill press. It is excellent machine. Very stable and the 6 inch travel comes in very handy. This thing is a moose. Extreemly smooth and poweful. You won't be...

Thanks. The floor is very nice on the feet and knees. The new saw arrived yesterday. SC 3hp titanium top, 50 inch fence. Still setting it up. MK
