After a career as a jet engine technician I always properly the lug nuts. This is especially important for aluminum wheels. And I’ll bet there isn’t a tire tech anywhere the knows how to properly use...

Well it’s unanimous. Off to look for more cherry.

I’m building a gentleman’s chest out of some 40 year old cherry boards stored in the back of my shop. The case and top are complete and I’m ready to make the doors and the drawer. The problem is the...

Not much for digital reading. It’s my generation I suppose. When I do read a digital magazine it is on an 12.9 in ipad. The issue I have with most digital magazines is they are usually just digital...

Running a 1 man shop I’ve never needed more than 50A. When I built my shop I installed a 100A panel because, at the time, it was cheaper to buy a 100A panel than it was to buy a 50A panel. 100A feed...

Renting a uhaul and a self storage unit would be much cheaper

I have the DFM plate. I’ve used it several times in the last 2 months and it works well. I wouldn’t say I have a strong opinion about it. It is a simple plate and it works.

The Pantorouter price just went up by several hundred bucks about a month ago coupled with switching to the Bosch router. I wouldn’t expect yet another increase in January.

I built my temporary workbench out of a sheet of 3/4 ply, some 2x4s and an old craftsman wood vice I got in a yard sale for $5. I decided I’d use that temp bench until it didn’t support my needs....

I have some red oak that has, what I guess is, black mold and some with white mildew. What is the best way to remove this?

I could -

a. Plane it off but the boards are only 1/8 to 1/4 thicker...

First phase - I had to build my shop building. Built 90% by myself

Second phase - I had to acquire equipment. I bought used and repaired

third phase - build shop fixtures/jigs

finally...

I do what is mentioned above, start the generator and wait for the motor to stabilize for a minute or two then plug in. I unplug before shutting down. Consider installing a transfer switch to your...

Only thing I did was make a box to protect my granite flat plate. Built strictly utilitarian so didn’t try to make it pretty, match grain or make the finger joints even. Made from white oak the guy I...

Who’d of thought that not having through joinery or exposed pins on mission furniture would work. Beautiful set.

Great job!

Any thread that has Festool or cutting board in the title.

Awesome work. Thanks for sharing

Outstanding work

If I had $1300 to spend and my shop wasn't well stocked with tools yet I'd hold off on buying the domino. I'd buy a "few other tools to help with traditional M&T" and learn to master that part of the...

Lovely piece.
