I had my bro-in-law, an electrician, show me how the first time. It was easy. All I know is common sense. Turn off circuits and never ever touch anything that even looks dangerous. Use insulated...

Dayum...that's a piece of furniture, not a jig! Nice work and thanks for showing it!
Glad to know I am not alone!
I meant it as the Star Trek reference. And most of the people that watch those gawd awful remodeling shows and think, with just a little bit of cheap OSB and some drywall screws, I can make a new...
Hi all:
I am making a plant stand for my mom and dad, using ash. I have a template and am using a flush trim router bit with a rolling bushing guide. Here is my problem: when going with the grain,...
I will spend th extra buck a sheet and stay with my local, family owned yard. They are very picky about the material they sell, and back it up. Plus they employ knowledgeable people with many, many...
The purpose is the wedding. Hell, give the money that would have been used to the newlyweds as a way to maybe help pay a down payment on a house! Better that than to some big mouthed booze pusher.
We have freezing rain, snow, and lots of wind. Makes me glad that my workshop is in the basement, with heated floor, and required no outdoor soujourn. Am making some bird feeders for Christmas gifts....
That is awesome. My basement shop is wonderful, but in the basement, which leads to a few problems. I love the in-floor heat, high ceilings and adequate electrical service. My bro-in-law put in three...
Took a chunk of the end of my middle finger on my left hand off with a chisel about six years ago. No real damage, just a forever flat spot. More blood than pain, until the ER doc had to numb it. Now...
Damn sump pump froze. Water, water everywhere and not... a dry situation. Luckily most everything was up a bit, but, of course, one end of some 3/4" oak plywood was temporarily set on the floor,...
Well, what a piece of junk this "Micro Glide" is. Love the saw, hate the fence. Dang thing never stays on the track and the handle broke causing me to make an impromptu wooden dowel replacement....
I made my shop cabinets from white, double sided 3/4" melamine and they tunred out fine. Also used the 1/4" one sided melamine for the backs and rabbeted those in. It also allowed me to learn, make...
I am getting ready to begin making doors for the cabinets I am amking for my workroom. The carcasses are 3/4" melamine with oak face frames. Has anyone used pocket screws to make the door frames? I...
I am currently building uppers for my woodshop (3/4" melamine with oak / ash face frames) and will then concentrate on the lowers. I like the "beefy" design as previously written. Thanks for sharing!
I have a Jet Supersaw. Overall, I have been very happy with it. But this week, the darn handle on the (cheap ass) rip fence broke when I was snugging it down (it tends to slide). Any suggestions on...
I thought they did good for my order. A bit higer prices, but quality was very good.
My basement ceiling/ overhead joists are those manufactured I-beams. At the bottom of the I is an overhang. I can cut drywall to size and float it up there, angling it to get it in properly, leaving...
Caveat emptor (I learned that from the Brady Bunch!). Buyer beware. I cannot stress enough the need to look at buyer's feedback. The only time I was disappointed was when I did not do a thorough...
I need a 7-1/4" blade with a 1/2" arbor to fit the spindle of an old Rockwell Delta saw I have. Any clues on where to look? I Googled it and had no luck.
Thanks!
Bob
Dayum. Nice!
Bob :)
Better check mine before I do that again! :eek:
I am lucky to have hot water heat both in my home as well as in the floor of my basement. I do have a/c, but that system is not integrated into the basement. I walled off my workshop and keep the...
I have a great shop downstairs. Was not the original intent when we were building the home, but wife took over the main floor room we (read:I) had planned originally to be the workshop. We even had...
I bought a 19.2 v package deal from Sears. I like the angled one, when I remember to use it. Forget that it's there. But good power and decent control in tight spots. Dunno about the Bosch, but...
