I am finally going to work on a new kitchen for the wife. Our home has lots of exposed rock and natural wood T&G ceilings and exposed beams. We think natural wood kitchen cabinets might just be too...

Keith that is a Beautiful Wagon you built. It looks very much like a real one that I have here in our yard. Those wheels are almost identical to the steel ones on my old vineyard wagon.

A lot...

Thanks guys for the info. I appreciate the suggestions, and leads. Keith I would love to see a pic of the wagon and wheels. They sound great. Also the jig picture would be interesting to see how...

I finally have a little extra time and want to try making small wooden wagon wheels - perhaps 8" in diameter - to scale and just as the originals. I would like to do these just as the real thing -...

I do understand what your saying about the Mom & Pop store and them possibly having to eat the error. I know the owner of this store - have known them since they came into our little town. I asked...

A big thanks for the heads up on the 'offer' Russ. I saw your post on Sat., the 13th. Printed out the add someone was nice enough to post and went down to our little mom and pop sears store. They...

Sounds like I will give my wifes garmet steamer a try. Bought it for her a few years ago and she has never used it. Large unit that sits on the floor, with a long flexible hose. Should work...

Wonder if someone out there might have any advise on how to soften up old hide glue. I am going to try to restore a large wooden horn from an antique Victor phonograph. I will need to remove many...

I had thought I had finalized the first disc, but perhaps not. I will try again... thanks much fellows for your time,
Jim

I did read about finalizing after I made my first copy. I guess I am really old school - I probably still have 5 or 6 reel to reel recorders around here. They were great fun 40 years ago - now they...

I just bought a Sony VCR / DVD that is supposed to be great. Manual is the size of a thin Readers Digest!! Salesman said to use DVD+R discs which I did. My first copy onto DVD plays fine on the...

Appeciate the info. Seems all are pleased with their Jets - so I think I'll go ahead and order one.
Jim

I don't believe this has been posted yet. Woodcraft is offering 10% off all Jet, Performax and Powermatic power tools this April 8th ONLY. All the Jet rebates still apply.

The other day I finally ordered a Grizzly G0513X - only to find they are out and probably will not ship until May sometime.

Looking thru past threads here on SMC found some interesting...

Thanks for the info guys. I will check out the couple of websites suggested. Appreciate it,
Jim

Recently got a steal on a Grizzly G5979 (looks like a G1067Z). I am not at all lathe "literate" so was wondering if any of you fellows would know if this lathe would work for turning pens. I cannont...

Thanks guys for your imput. My feelings too were that the "X" was worth the extra $100 ------ sooooo I am off to order it now. Thanks again,
Jim

Well I have narrowed my choice down to either a Grizzly G0513 or G0513X bandsaw. It seems that the G0513X should be worth the extra $100 for the larger table and cast iron wheels. I don't know if...

It is a 'snow day' today so I'm off for a little while this morning. I am going to go ahead and order the 490 now. Appreciate the info too on the chip collecting for the time being. Thanks guys,...

I have narrowed my jointer choice down to one of the these two Grissly jointers. The G0586 is a 2 horsepower, while the G0490 is a 3 horse unit. The G0586 has more cuts per minute. This will be my...

Hey thanks to all of you for your responses. I sure wished I had a Woodcrafters outlet around here - but all I have right now is snow. Live near Yosemite Park in California and their nearest outlet...

Thanks to all for the Welcome aboard. This is amazing. For some reason I had not been able to find my post and so thought I had done something wrong. Found it this evening and was amazed to see that...

Thanks for the information John. This sounds like a good jointer for the price - and the shipping is quite resonable. Off to oder it now,
Jim

Wow, hit the wrong button and deleted my question, so will try again! First off what a great site. I discovered it a week or so ago and find myself logging on every evening to check out all the great...
