McMaster Carr has a large selection of the Chicago bolts.
I bought a sheet of 3/4" Columbia PureBond C-2 Birch at my local Homies for around $50 that I made a rolling shop table from. I expected it to have wavy veneers and lots of voids, but to my...
My 1999 PM66 has this issue as well, although it doesn't change the bevel angle when I move the blade up or down. I've aligned it for parallelism to the miter slots as well as parallelism to the...
It sure is a slippery slope. I was afraid of the slippery slope when I got my table saw, so when the opportunity presented itself, I upgraded from my cheapie Ryobi jobsite table saw to a 5HP PM 66! ...
I think that with the load being right at the limit, plus my future expansion plans (hard ducted DC, larger hand tool bench, project lumber storage, etc), I'll be bringing in a structural engineer to...
Brett, based on your earlier post, I think my first step would be to consult a professional engineer first. At present, the garage is only rough framed, so all of the framing, supports, and subfloor...
Yes, I can see the floor joists from below; they're exposed and easy to take a look at. I'll take a look over the weekend. My suspicion is that the subfloor is 5/8" instead of 3/4", and rather old....
The joists span around 12' from the walls to the center support. I think it would be sufficient, but there's a bit of "bounce" when I'm doing some hard planing or chopping mortises (I'm still mostly...
I am starting to outfit my new shop, which is in the second story of a 2-car detached garage on the property my wife and I purchased. The garage has a lot going for it: it's detached from the house,...
I was in the same situation a couple of years ago. Due to space constraints, I thought I wanted to go mostly neander to do my woodworking. I built a smallish bench (36"x15") or so and it worked...

Please count me in!
For a 325 grit DMT, how fine of a waterstone can you flatten? I currently have a 800/4000 King combo that I'd like to be able to flatten reasonably well with just the one diamond stone (I'm...
Glad it helps. I've often thought of making something like that for my friend's boat. If you do make one, can you post some pics so I can get some ideas?
From what I've heard (since I don't...
Although there are "antique" fishing items (such as rods, reels, old lures, posters, etc), most of it will be of limited utility due to the rapid advances in fishing technology. Graphite composites...
I have the 1591, which has the same baseplate, IIRC, and also have the dust collection attachment. Based on my limited usage, I'd have to say that the DC isn't all that useful, and makes it hard to...
I'm not sure what the differences in apple lumber or what thickness a handsaw maker might need, but the folks over in the Neander forum seem to be always looking for apple wood in smallish pieces...
I also noticed the change in the Nicholson files at the Orange BORG as they went to Mexico. It wasn't that long ago that all of their flat files were made in the US, and I was thinking to myself:...
Wow, those look great! That was exactly what I was thinking of making, since my wooden screws didn't turn out so well.
Personally, I've found the teeth on my Veritas dovetail saws to cut perfectly out of the box. Even if there were a few burrs from sharpening, cutting a few dovetails will remove the burrs anyway. ...
I'm still a newbie, but working on a short bench is something I'm familiar with. My bench (a mini-Roubo) has a 39"x15" top, which is far smaller than the optimal 96"x24". I'm probably going to...
With some wide jaws, it would make a nice saw sharpening vise!
Uh, isn't that one a blade grinder, which are not quite as good as a burr grinder? $200 for a blade grinder is kinda steep.
I have this one: Kitchenaid Proline Burr Grinder, which works very well...
Well, it was bound to happen. Every time I walk into Lowes, I feel like I'm walking into the toy section of a department store. Everything was "prettied" up, but there wasn't any real quality to...
