We'll be right over!

Totally disagree. If you know how legislation works, the company itself will be writing the rules. Further, SawStop has moved heaven and earth to assure that it owns a ring of patents all around the...

Hold on, grab your common sense. You know a few woodworkers? Ask around, who had an accident last year and did they end up requiring medical attention? Phone a few pro shops. How many table saw...

I dispute the assertion about why OSHA exists but let's speak to the point: a group with an interest in forcing the use of a certain type of saw gadget has been lobbying hard and has achieved what...

Slot cutter - that's the tool I saw used this way in one of those "Tips" boxes in some magazine article. Any particular requirements? I just bought a three flute trimmer bit. More wings mean smoother...

I'm using a thin kerf blade on my table saw and do and want to make several small boxes. I don't want to spend time changing blades as I work on this along with other projects. I'm looking for ways...

The drawer is especially interesting, how did you decide to do that? I've seen ads for the Miller dowel technique but haven't seen anyone use it. What do you think of it?

I had good luck with a small air compressor, a stapler and a brad nailer. The compressor was only $89 on sale, marked down from around $129. It's an oil bath unit and has performed well for a couple...

Sometimes if there's a compatibility problem, a spit coat of shellac can act as a barrier between finishes. This would mean spraying a thin coat of denatured alcohol and shellac, in a 5-6 to 1 ratio....

Fantastic panel station. What is that floor? The shop looks so clean, is that a special floor that's easy to sweep up?

When you want to buy a thing that is advertised in Classifieds, are you supposed to do a public message saying, "I'd like to buy this," or are you supposed to send a Private message? If there's no...

Try the synthetics. The plastic cleaning cloth type, comes in colors to designate "grit" similarity. Steel wool for washing pots and pans might actually be oiled to prevent them rusting in the box...

Tod, how would you do this square tube thing? Any special joint? Will plain glue hold up? Do you screw the edges together?

Great - I got a filter with missing parts? In the picture you reference, the mask I have is the left column, middle one. Light grey, with the "baskets" on the outside. I have no other parts except...

I bought a 3M mask with Organic Vapor cartridge. I finally gunked up the filter enough to replace. I can't get the "basket off" to put the new white paper filter elements inside. How does it work?

Hoa Dinh, you really think those Pittsburgh clamps will do it? I thought they would not clinch up the parts square unless the jaws were reliably parallel. I tried using Harbor Freight clamps a few...

I can't afford a dozen big Bessey clamps to do several cabinet drawers at one time. I don't want the job to drag out forever. Can anyone recommend a resource where I could learn to make some cauls to...

Actually, this isn't a bad idea, as ideas go. It would be fine to suit up for nuclear war every time we step into the workshop and buy every single thing that could prevent accidents and injuries....

Actually, I read the stuff the Sawstop folks inserted into the Congressional record and when I looked at the data they cited, the number of accidents which led to more than trivial scrapes or cuts...

I honestly and respectfully question this. I do not think Sawstop is state of the art safety because it's too narrowly focused. It is geared to handle one fear: injury by the cutting blade on one...

John Kain, your risks are different from the usual, the extra money isn't all that important compared to injuring your career and there's no competition for that particular format of saw yet so it's...

Can you use an extension cord with twist-lock fittings as a regular cord somehow? Is it worth buying a couple of regular ends and replacing the twist-lock fittings? Are there adapters you can buy so...

If kerosene is good, would WD40 be even better? It's mostly kerosene, isn't it?

Okay, for $900, I want to know what the Domino will do that a Beadlock won't.

I'm serious. I own several Festools (saw, table, vac, router, sander) and enjoy them but the main rationale for paying...

I wonder why? Maybe it appeals to the users who want a tenon joint in preference to biscuits? Will Festool sell a bit to create the tenons or will this stay a proprietary system? (It looks as if you...
