I'm very lazy...and practical, at least when it comes to things that are primarily functional. I am just finishing up a desk for my basement home office, which will also serve as a media room, bar,...
I guess for me it depends on the application. If it's going to be painted, and there is no structural or strength issue (as in a short-span bookcase for a child's room or playroom or something),...
Why use plywood at all, then? When you think about it, the tape is really just small plywood.
I just finished a set of bookcases. I'm lazy and I'm sure this is not the preferred way to do it, but I just used the iron-on edging. I've been using that stuff for 20 years on all kinds of things,...
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it. It annoys the heck out of me, but I otherwise really like the saw. I added the outfeed extension, which...
Hi Guys,
Been a while since I've posted. Wife has cancer. Life has been challenging this last year or so. But we're hanging in there.
Anyway, I've been trying to get my hands dirty a...

OK, thanks.
Thanks, Scott. But what the heck is xylene?

Hi Folks,
I don't get over to this part of the Creek that often, but I'm hoping some kind soul(s) will be able to give me a little advice.
We were given this conference table. It's pretty...
Yep. I spent a lot of time looking for one for just that reason -- not just the cheap blades, but the ability of the saw to use common 7 1/4 inch blades, which are readily available in all types and...
Just to be clear, we don't care about the tool, we want pics of the wife.
:D
Happy Birthday.

I've gotten a bit tied up. I'm thinking this is probably best tried after Labor Day. Everybody's on vacation etc.
I disagree. Just because bigger will (or might) do "the same job" doesn't mean bigger is better. A 20 inch bandsaw will cut nice circles in 1 inch stock, if you put the right blade on it and set it...
I picked up that little Craftsman 7 1/4 inch SCMS not long ago on sale for $99. I wanted a small one for my small shop (and small projects). It's about the only gig in town in that size. I find it...

Yeah, I do need to work on how I have it set up. A couple of people have recommended some apps that will help with that. But I can't help thinking...why buy a phone that has a ton of features, if...
My thinking, exactly. This stupid Droid won't even get thru 24 hours without being charged. What good is a "mobile" phone if it constantly has to be plugged in? Not to mention all the stupid...
As the husband of a woman stricken with cancer, living in a wonderful, supportive community, I have been the beneficiary of an almost constant flow of food from caring friends and neighbors.

I know there's a few more Creekers in this area. But even with two or three it should be a nice thing to do. One thing, Condon is not open on weekends. So we'll have to do this on a weekday. ...
No, they do not teach shop in school any more. Damn shame, too. The ratio of morons to intelligent people is increasing daily.
I just got a Droid X. I absolutely HATE the thing. I want my Blackberry back!
Found it, on now, Ch. 133 here in NY. Looks great!
This came up on another thread. Condon Lumber is a nice, small business in Westchester/Dutchess Counties, NY, that specializes in fine quality lumber, including tropical and exotic hardwoods.
