The LV Medium shoulder plane is nearly perfect. It is one of few items that I own, tools or otherwise, that would be replaced literally within a day should they go missing.

I am also not crazy about the direction PC is headed. Suddenly PC bandsaws and tablesaws are showing up at Lowe's, and the mainstay handheld tools don't feel the same. Feels like the name got sold to...

Epoxy is complete overkill for this job. It will work, of course, as will good old yellow glue. Titebond 3 if the hinges are outside the weatherstripping, which they're probably not.Yellow (or white,...

There's a guy on Youtube who's been very helpful to me, Aiden Chopra, I think.

I recently dragged my Jet contractor saw out of my shop, lifted it by the wings, used the fence rail as a lever, threw it onto a flatbed, and installed it in its new home no less gently. I did take...

I've heard of guys boring out a standard blade to 20mm, apparently there's a metric step drill out there somewhere. I'll be trying the Oshlun blade shortly, I've got their 8" dado and it's great....

My understanding is that they are the same, other than color/coating.

I think he's got the ZCI thing down.

There's a Woodcraft about 60 miles south of me, I visited once when in the area. The salespeople that were in the store during my visit were possibly the most unhelpful people I've ever met, and...

Had one hanging out of my thigh about six years ago, when it ejected from the collet.

Seriously, though, no serious injury, and certainly should never have happened. I don't use mine much, but...

When you really tag yourself in the shop, it's good to have something clean and absorbant that can be affixed one-handed. Look into an Israeli trauma dressing, called an "Izzy". Good to have one...

I bought six brand new Empire squares at HD the other morning, and returned the five that weren't square. I returned them in exactly the condition in which I bought them, the store can resell them at...

I'm currently using a CMT ITK 50T combo blade that I found at Lowes, at it cuts really nicely. I should mention that I'm mainly cutting ply at the moment, but this thing cuts way better than any...

I agree completely. I bought the Ridgid to sand curved valances and toekicks, and have found the belt to be more useful than the spindles. It's a very well designed and executed machine, and I think...

Debonder is amyl acetate, if memory serves. Feels oily, not nearly as volatile as acetone.

Just got the Oshlun yesterday, based in part on my reading here at SMC. It's replacing a Freud SD208 set that got pretty banged up in the course of moving. The Freud made perfectly good grooves, but...

They make debonders for CA that will work, albeit slowly, after cure. You should be able to find one at a hobby store.
