For years, I used to joint a straight edge with my tablesaw. Make a baltic birch straight edge, and shoot it to your lumber with 2 brads... Run it through the tablesaw, and bingo, it's jointed. My...
If you are spraying outside, laquer is the best bang for the buck... ~$20/gallon (RUDD pre-cat laquer). It dries fast enough in light coats that you can start your second coat probably as soon as...
I've seen used ones advertised between $150-$250, so no, I don't think $400 is a good price. When buying used things, I shoot for better than half price of new. You know you opened a can of worms...
I'll tell ya... My planer gets used a lot. My jointer was always in the way in my small garage, so I sold it.... It takes up too much room for only getting used a couple times per year. There's...
Thanks Jason! It sure helps to get an opinion from someone who uses these things everyday...
I'm skeptical on the .015" tip. (if it's agonizing slow, I'll just dip/roll...) But, I'm not sure I...
Jason,
Thanks for the help. I'm not sure if I'm following you, not recomending a .015 tip. Are you saying I should go with something bigger? I'm looking at a Spray Tech 1420. ...
I'm planning on buying an airless paint sprayer. In the lower price range, the pumps I've looked at only can support up to a .015" tip. Is this adequate for an amature do-it-yourself hack like me?...
Rob,
Check out Centennial Lumber. Excellent stock! Good prices, way better than Woodcraft, Austin, or Paxton. Take the broadway exit, east: - 985 S Logan St, Denver, 80209. Google them for a phone...

Anyone try Bondo? Easy to sand, and paint over it... But I don't know how well it sticks to wood.
Thank you, Steve & Shelley.
I'm lazy, and I don't have enough room in my shop to string them up like that, but it looks like my best choice. I haven't gone down the path of building an entire...
For the pros that build cabinets for a living....
What is your method of madness for finishing doors and drawer fronts with spray laquer?
Spray one side, let dry, spray the other? All at once?...
Has anyone used their Festool sanders and dust extractor for drywall sanding? If so, how well did it capture the dust? Is it too aggressive for sanding drywall? etc, etc? Does the drywall plug...
When building frameless cabinets with 3/4" baltic birch, what are the proper screws to use for the carcasse butt joints?
I'm under the impression that confirmat screws are only for melamine or PB....
Got the motor today. The 5 hp turned out to be burnt up, but they had another WEG 3 HP come in. I ended up with a WEG 3 HP for my DC, $102 out the door. This motor is one massive bohemoth:eek:. ...
Save your money for a cyclone.. For about $400, you can build a cyclone unit.
Used rebuilt 3-5 HP motor, $100
Jet 14" impeller $80, or Clear Vue Impeller $175
Sheet Metal $50
MDF $20...
Thanks all,
I think I'll jump on it. I couldn't find prices for new WEG motors to compare to. I wasn't sure if I was getting a good deal. It is from a local motor shop that rebuilt it, and...
Anyone know anything about WEG motors? I looked them up on the internet and really didn't find anything.
I found a rebuilt WEG 5 HP motor, with a one year warantee for $100. I plan to buy it...
I posted my firplace progress last summer, here: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=23019
I screwed a 2x4 on edge to the studs with countersunk 4" deck screws. I made a template traced...
Andre,
Looking good so far! I have the same dilemma on a bench/desk/bookshelf unit that I'm in the middle of. I found this in the current issue of workbench. ...
Rob,
Awesome start on your project! It's great to see some pics. You'll learn a lot from practicing. Those will end up being nice shop cabs.
If you go with shelves, remove "UNIT 2" all together....
I have the Hitatchi 12" CMS with digital and laser. However, I paid $329 for mine, 9 months ago.:( :(
It is a good saw for it's purpose, and I like to use it a lot. Powerful, smooth cut, etc. ...
Dev, I don't use my shop vac anymore, due to cloggin the filter. I have the F CT22 vac, since Oct, and have yet to fill a bag. I use it on the circular saw, biscuit jointer, and with the sander. I...
BUY! (It's fun to spend other people's money)
I have the exact same model, which I bought barely used, AMERICAN MADE, for $200, AND I got a mobile base for it. So far with a sharp new blade, I've...
