Yep, I use Raleigh Saw for sharpening and it is 45-50 miles each way to Raleigh. Lots of gas goes through an F-150 in 100 miles (200 to go back and pick them up). Once you get outside the environs...
I can understand Ted's dilemma. Many small rural towns have the problem. Until about two years ago there was no place in town that a citizen could ship via UPS (or FedEx or DHL) unless you could...
I also live in the boonies and the service I use is 50 miles away. I mail the blade(s) and or knives (planer and jointer) to them and call with my CC number, they sharpen them and return by mail. ...
I am among those that wish I had something larger than a 6" and also among those that don't really think that an 8" would give me "that much" more than the 6". If I can ever afford to upgrade, I...

Page 21 and 22 talk about aprons. They say to use a corner brace or a gusset to reinforce the corner. they do not show...
Woodcraft is a 'convenience' hardwood supplier. From where you are, check out the websites for 'The Hardwood Store of North Carolina' and 'Wall Lumber'. they have price lists on line which you can...
I used a 'switched outlet' from the big box for about $7-10. I have it mounted on the front of the table and the router cord coming out the side of the table and hanging there. The outlet/switch is...
I don't think the receipt is for anything other than ligetimacy of the transaction. Just in case the cops come around in a few days.

I have not yet used the fence on the left of the blade.

I have a left tilt PM 64A with a 30" fence (30" to the right of the blade). I found that I ocassionally needed anywhere from 32" to 36". I moved my rails 6" to the right which left me 6" to the...
I'm in the middle. My saw has a 30" fence and I was finding that I ocassionally needed 32", 34" or 36" (doors, longer crosscuts with a crosscut sled, etc). I moved my fence rails to the right by 6"...
If you truly have a concern, take what your research has told you is the problem and go to the showroom and put the saw through it's paces, exercising the area you suspect in every way possible. If...
I've had my 64A for about seven years, purchased used, six months old with very little use. I did get a good price on it. But, I love the fence and my fence even more than the current 64A fences. ...
Besides the roller cleaning and the waxing (both of which are important), are your knives sharp?

Actually, if I remember correctly, the MT33 is the taper in the top of the chuck itself. The shaft that goes into the drill press is an MT2 on one end (to go into the DP quill) and MT33 on the other...
I have this one and it works well for me.

I too have some Craftsman handtools that are 50 years old and have lasted through home use (cars, etc). A xouple of replacements over that time but not many.
As a side note, if you go with...
I have a '99 F150, ext cab, long bed and love it. The one biggie problem is the turning radius and using it for normal daily use in parking lots etc.
I got a bug up my ...nose... a while back and...
I bought some on e-bay. The seller was selling complete sets.

As Mike mentioned, much old 'fine' furniture was veneered. One other thought, MDF and its like was not available to the 16th, 17th, 18th century craftsmen, if it were, it's my bet that you would see...
Just a question for those that have had problems with Suffolk's blades being too long. Do you order by saw brand and size or by blade length? I have always ordered by specific blade length (I don't...
I don't understand that. Suffolk (TW) has always sent me the length that I ordered. Did you order the proper length and did you double check it to see if there may have been a mistake in filling...

I know its not fine woodworking but I would use toggle bolts. I would have said 'Molly' bolts but upon reflection decided that the 'wings would not be long enough to allow as much weight bearing as...
