    Cherry chest of drawers

    My parents downsized into an apartment and are dealing with a lot of clutter. So I offered to build them a chest of drawers. This one is my first, and is my own design. It's made of cherry...

    My favorite boating material is Starboard, a HDPE 'plywood' that has great wear, corrosion, and UV resistance. You can drill, rout, and work it just like wood. My sailboat has lots of Starboard in...
  5. Funny shop story - surprisingly powerful shop vac

    I've got an older Fein Turbo III which I've loved for a decade now, with a Cleanstream HEPA to take better care of my lungs and avoid the crazy Fein HEPA filter prices. I hadn't cleaned the filter...

    I know this conversation is about MDF, but I'm building some speakers for the garage, probably based on Paul Carmody's "Classix II" design. I was hoping to use 3/4" BB with lock miters (haven't used...

    I'm surprised Rockler doesn't have a 'no fault' replacement policy - since either the supplier or customer could have made a mistake, the customer gets a new head at cost. The customer has to pay...

    I'm not an expert, but I've done this kind of thing a few times.

    Your motor's rating is for 110/220v operation, and the 220v amperage should be half of the 110's. So the rating is 7.7 amps for...

    I do electronics as a hobby, and still use lead solder. I find it more forgiving than the silver/lead free solder. As long as you don't create any dust, the fumes from soldering are easy to deal...

    I've been thinking about making a tool inventory recently. Not for estate purposes, rather for insurance. Looking around my shop I'm not sure I have enough insurance coverage in case my house burns...

    By odd coincidence my brother got a Starrett square from Amazon recently and it had some scratches on it and being frustratingly picky as he's always been, he returned it for a perfect one. He sent...

    These answers look good to me. Just to show you the reasoning behind their math, KV is telling you that the slide on each side of the drawer needs 1/2" with a tolerance of (+1/32, -0/32). In other...

    Estate sales are a great place to find things cheap - they're priced to sell that weekend, because the estate sales folks earn a commission on what they sell, not what's left over.

    I may be biased because Gamov is a hero of mine, but this documentary is particularly well done. I really enjoyed you discussing your options and why you chose to do what you did. So many other...

    Lumber is a volume business, so the pricing formulas are simple. That's why people sort through piles of lumber, or reject some boards that are really lousy. More detailed pricing would be a pretty...

    Liquidate sounds like an estate sale to me - my parents had one last year, and they work well for people with stuff but not the time or energy to sell it themselves. Estate...

    You could probably ease into this kind of venture a few ways:

    1) make youtube videos - you'll reach a huge audience, could make money if you got popular, and your liability is almost zero

    Paul, is this a one-time cleanup or is this your new dust collection scheme? If it's one time cleanup I'd be tempted to try and rent a HEPA (or otherwise very good vacuum) and spend a day cleaning...
