General Finishes' Enduro Var is extremely durable, very 'hard.' It does have a slight amber tint though, but only slight and I find it very pleasing. And, of course, if you want it to look...

I have the Rigid spindle/belt sander and it works great! I haven't had any of the problems with the belt sander that have been written about here and elsewhere. I did, however, buy it for the...

Hello Creekers, I'm finishing off an oak desktop. I've applied two coats of Minwax Antique Oil Finish and am now applying several topcoats of semi-gloss Polyacrylic for durability. I'd like to use...

I JUST purchased a Grizzly G0490X 8" jointer for $1195 with free shipping. I had some issues with shipping damage, but Grizzly corrected them right away. (I'll be sending in a review to this forum...

One other note: you shouldn't be tightening your arbor nuts such that you bend even the soft stamped wrenches that come with the saw. I realize you are talking about taking off a nut that was...

I've seen mention a couple of times on the forum about a device that automatically turns on your shop vac or DC system when you power up your equipment (TS, BS, DP, etc.). Could someone refer me to...

1. You can build a nice router table cheaper than you can buy one. There are any number of sources for plans -- or just make something up. :)
2. Learn to hand-cut dovetails, much more satisfying and...

Jupiter's atmosphere is thousands and thousands of miles thick and very dense. Any space object, i.e. meteor, comet, asteroid, man-made satellite, will be travelling VERY fast and as soon as it hits...

What's the issue? Being new to all this woodworking stuff, I guess I'm not familiar with the problem. Is there something about PVC and Dust Collection I'm missing? Please enlighten.

Thanks,

I, too, have a tall bookcase in the planning stage. Can someone tell me what 'shiplapped boards' are? I'd like to include something that looks nice for the back, rather than a plain plywood sheet....

Thanks again for all the good replies. I'm going to try a combination of methods. First, coat each plane with a wax/oil mix. Second, store in a plastic container to keep out moisture. Third, use...

Thanks everybody for your responses. I just ordered two rolls of double sticky tape from Lee Valley.

I've been checking at my Home Depot and Loews here in Huntsville for several months but...

Mr. Keller,

What is the optimal way to apply the oil?

1. Rub a light film all over using a cloth applicator? (Run the risk of missing a spot.)
2. Spray it on somehow (WD-40?)
3. Dip the...

Does anyone know where I can buy some double sided tape? Home Depot and Loews only stock 'mounting tape,' which is about 1/16th inch thick and unsuitable for my needs. What I'm looking for is thin --...

Greetings all,

I don't do much hand planing, but over the weekend I needed to do some touch up and unwrapped one of my three planes. They were wrapped in cloth and placed on a top shelf in my...

One quick tip, put your outlets on different breakers than your lighting, otherwise your lighting will be dimming and buzzing each time you start up a drill press or saw or...

I know a lot of you won't believe this, but I have a small pocket knife I always carry and I seldom have to sharpen it because I always strop it after just about every use. Why do I carry a strop...

Well, I don't know about the PM 14" bandsaw, but I recently purchased a new Grizzly G0555X 14" BS and I love it. Out of the box the wheels were dead on, the blade tracks perfectly with very little...

Wow, some great replies. I gather from most of the responses that the jerk is normal for the Unisaw (and some others.) I am thinking I'll try to replace the belts with some high quality ones. Time to...

Hi all,

I have a new 10" unisaw I picked up last December. I'm happy with the saw in most respects, but I do have one issue. When I got the saw the three belts were a little bit loose. While...

That blade is a finish blade for making smooooth cuts on plywood pieces cut to nearly finish size. You need to use a 40-tooth carbide combo or rip blade to cut the sheet stock. Any twist of the...

The Japanese do this all the time with hand tools. I can't give you an exact tool name, but if you google Japanese hand saws you might find something useful. Good luck.

He's a disaster waiting to happen. No clamps, no safety glasses, bad technique and he's probably wearing sandals!

What's the "cash back deal from Microsoft?" Does anyone have any details on this? I just bought the Grizzly G0555X and will kick myself if I missed a 20% rebate!

Thanks,

Joel,

Again, I meant no disrespect to Edward, we're just at opposite ends of the spectrum. Like you, I keep my shop pretty clean and sterile with every tool in its appointed place, etc., etc. It...
