I have a Cheval Mirror project mostly complete, but in spite of a lot of fiddling where the mirror portion of the case slides open to reveal a jewelry case/shelves/whatever you wish to call it, i am...

Two years ago, thanksgiving, I smell smoke around 8 a.m. Thinking it must be someone getting ready to smoke a turkey or some other preparation i didn't think much of it. Few minutes later I see smoke...

My approach to buying a vehicle that i wish to own varies slightly, but only in the way I price the deal.

I determine the exact vehicle, just as you have. I then approach a dealer and tell him...

Cut out the articles which you think you might use some day and file them accordingly.

I gave the rest to the guys who run the maintenance shop in a local community. Maybe they used some of the...

Three years into induction and like it VERY much.

There is a gizmo which you can only buy on the internet which you place on your induction "burner" and then place a non metallic pan on top. Comes...

Agreed...see below for why!



Agreed...cost next to nothing to have, at least, a basic website about your business. Name, address, phone, product services and hours. I can call/contact of I need...

Cable TV Feed. I am not a big TV watcher, but there are times when I could be watching a college hoops game out of the corner of my eye while sanding or doing some other mundane task. No cable...or...

ACE Hardware has them. Take the old one.

Big Box Stores = Fail. Can't explain why.

IIRC one of the FWW or more likely FHB (maybe it was the just released annual Tools and Benches issue) just did a review of light/medium duty circular saws. You might find that helpful.

I have an...

"Trust me, if this thing breaks down in the next couple of years, I will be back in your door and you will be replacing it." I have zero tolerance for crap...or "sales".

Having said that, my SO...

Speaking of Grizzly Saws, I saw that FWW rated one of their mid-sized cabinet table saws as "Best Value" recently. Anyone have any experience? How is the quality? Usable for a non-commercial shop?

So, there's another good piece of change...plus the cost to move everything and set up a new operation....downtime...gives customers a GREAT opportunity to bolt. Assume you are going to lose at least...

This thread has outlined the "real" costs associated with handling that lumber. I understand as a...
