    DJI Phantom 4 Pro for me. Great aircraft and incredible photos/video, as well. Stabilization, auto-return, and reasonable intro costs played a big part in my buying this one. Spare batteries,...

    Our family attends the same church as the Farmer's. In fact, this girl's mother, Missy, taught my kids in their pre-school classes. They are a very talented family. This video was all the buzz...

    Here's a different twist. My wife works for a group of doctors, one who has a brand new Tesla, his third since Tesla began producing cars. This car is incredible, right down to knowing when the...

    If your joints are tight, I would take a shot at using PL Construction Adhesive. This stuff is amazing. Any outdoor project I build has this stuff in it and I have yet to see a failure. And I am a...

    Be careful. Most of these valves have plastic internals. With a longer handle comes the risk of breaking the shaft when operating the valve.

    The Powermatic 72 is a great saw. Just an outgrowth of the 66. 1" arbor makes it tough on your supply of blades and dado sets. The only thing I found uncomfortable was the distance from the fence...

    Bill, thanks for starting this thread. I am as embarrassed as you are on this one. And thanks to the members for pointing out the fine print in the upper right hand corner. I need to start paying...

    What, exactly, is the purpose of a keyless ignition switch? Like texting, I'm guessing it has something to do with our inherent laziness. A good friend bought a new minivan (the make and model I...

    Jim, I believe the "1632" number came from the capacity........16" fed from one side or 32" if you swap ends. The belt size is actually a 17X54. I've located many brands and styles for sale on...

    Thanks for all of the input. I am already pricing out the doors. The first thing I noticed was the location of the DC port which, as Mike said, forces me to install doors. Also, this machine is...

    My turn to gloat

    I just got home with, what I hope is, one of the deals of the century. A slightly used Powermatic 1632 wide belt sander. This one had suffered through a tornado with a couple of doors missing,...

    Many, many years ago, as one of my engineering projects in school, we were tasked with building a containment (5'X5') using standard mortar construction methods. Then, we built another identical...

    Michelle, you might try a step drill, or "Unibit", as they are known commercially. I know that all of those have a 5/8" step which would do what you need. Remember that the bore on the blades is...

    Another element to ponder. Those screws were purchased in the 80's, when quality mattered. Using the brace and bit on a recently manufactured screw would certainly twist the head right off. I...

    United will be bankrupt in less than a year over this one. Deregulation has put the airlines in a position of power not usually seen in any form of commerce. I'll tell you this......once that plane...

    Tom, for shame. You left your plane sitting on it's sole? I'm guessing that you will catch some grief over that one. By the way, nice puppies.

    I spent a couple of hours not only on the internet, but with magnifying glass in hand, trying to figure out the manufacturer's name which is just not quite clear enough to see. Same results as you...

    There will be a lot of opinions on the Unifence, but I personally think it is one of the, if not the, best fence built. Especially the older ones like yours. That being said, let me know if you...

    Malcolm, just remember that the more fan blades and less rpm you turn the fan, the quieter it will be. As an aeronautical engineer, I saw this firsthand. Look at most of the commercial turbo-prop...

    Rich, take a look at how much fuel you plan on using. You will find that burning through 150 gallons of diesel, during certain times, might take some time. That stuff does go bad. Also, if you...
