Maybe look at cabinets - at a big showroom or in high-end catalogs. You might find a profile which appeals to you more than others.
The Freud set (like the 97-210) is popular - you can get that...
Finally got back to the shop - shaped panels 4 7/8 wide x 28 long with 3 1/2 Freud panel raising bit on my Bench Dog TS extension router table. No problem. Used a coping sled for the ends. Three...
I've a a pair of similar panels for a similar cabinet to raise tomorrow - wasn't anticipating any problems but I'm listening... My doors are 8 5/16 wide with 2 inch rails - so panel will be 5 1/8...
I didn't look closely - but would this do it?

Lots of good advice here - one caution, or at least consideration. If you're installing diagonal, establish your line with the longest run of flooring you can. I work very deliberately, so I screw...
Plenty of helpful advice here, Doug. The only suggestion I have is to lose the roller guide with it's insistent directional preference. Can you find another method to support your outfeed? One...
But Luis steered me away from the Woodmaster CT - said it is designed for bandsaw mills, that he hears there is buzz about it on the internet, and so he's stocking it now.

Could you elevate the stock? Raise it an inch or more and you should get a longer cut. You may need to start with a plunge, lowering the spinning blade into the stock before drawing it across to...
John - don't jump from quality to expensive too quickly. I recently bought a Bosch barrel grip jig saw on advice here and reviews elsewhere. ~$150. It isn't a Festool. It's a great tool. I...
We all have budgetary constraints.
I try to imagine use of the tool and the options, then talk through it with my wife. She's great at posing questions.
I know I've made the right decision if...
A couple of friends and I chainsawed sections out of a bowling alley in a rec building at the former Grenier Field days before a D-8 was coming through preparing to build the current Manchester...
As others note above - for plunge cutting and flush cutting it's the cat's meow. Most useful in renovation tasks. There are other good flush cutting tools, but I don't know anything in the ballpark...
White Chapel is perfect - several excellent choices there for all the hardware.
And magnets might be perfect for a latch.
Does someone have a recommendation of a vendor for a brass nameplate?...
With advice from SMC I'm working out the details of a service medal display case for my WW II vet father.
He wants it covered - and the layout he prefers will make the box about 14" wide and 12"...
Yeah - that's him. 79th Division 113th Regiment F Company.
Thanks - he's coming around on putting a bit more into the display. We've a number of good pictures from Belgium and Germany in '44...
He'll be here tomorrow. I'll check on his unit. I was wrong about 101st. He was in the 79th Infantry Division which included the 313th 314th and 315th Regiments. They were part of the Third Army in...
Thanks for the suggestions.
I like the idea of a box with a raised panel lid - there's a triangular one in the center picture Scott posted. I'd likely go with rectangular.
I'm not making much...
My 86 year old Dad just asked for a display case for his WW II service medals - DSC, Silver, Bronze Stars and Purple Heart. Also his theater and combat bars, captain's bars, infantry insignia, etc.

I want some of that soil for the garden. If a walnut can grow to a 20 foot girth in what, 40 years?, how would my tomatoes do?

"In fact, if I could find a good one, I'd buy a small ratchet brace with a 3- or 4-jaw chuck and use that instead of the cordless as my main drill. Then the only sound in the workshop would be metal...
I've used them for decades and never knew a magnetic switch could turn on this way. Might be one bad accident averted. Never before in the habit of unplugging, that just changed!

I've had one for a year and a half now in my hobby shop. I find it reliable, accurate. Blade changes are easy and pretty foolproof. It would be great to have a larger, sturdier platen - but then it...
blade change quick and simple. deals with everthing I ask it to. No problems at all in 15 months use with pine, oak, lots of hard maple. (I reclaimed quarter-sawn boards from an old bowling alley...

I nailed ledgers on the floor joists. It was a bit tricky reaching around the sides of the fixture to screw down...
