Not sure how I’m not still turning out a quality product with plywood. I’ve done this many times before with dead flat results on a just a slightly smaller scale. As much as I would rather do a solid...

I have a job coming up that requires a large (4’x9’) table top. The top will have a decal and epoxy so seams are not as important but dead flatness is. I don’t have a vacuum bag that big but I do...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Honestly the more I think about trying to salvage the top, the more it sounds like a lot of work to band aid a particle board top. I expect this table to get abused...

So I have a predicament I’ve gotten myself into with a large conference table. I’m in the process of redoing a 4x8 conference table. The table is melamine covered particle board that is 1 1/4” with...

Thanks everybody. I guess the issue is solved as I was told to just use the more expensive 500lb slides.

I plan on putting some rubber "feet" on the bottom of the drawer that will hopefully...

I'm working on a laundry pedestal for my sister-in-law with some shelves above the machines. Being vertically challenged, she asked me if I could incorporate some sort of built in step stool to reach...

I noticed today that my local store started carrying TigerPly. This is cabinet grade AC ply with limited voids. It has Poplar veneers according to the company website. Its not a replacement for BB...

I use the Commercial Electric/EcoLight brand available at Home Depot here in almost all fixtures. As the filament bulbs go out I replace the ones I can with LED's. They all use Cree LED's AFAIK. I...

Built a couple of Christmas gifts for my parents. The first is a pool cue rack. I actually mostly made it and gifted it last year, but finally finsished it this week. Its based off of a Brunswick...

Thanks for the input. I ended up putting the first coat on the rack using the Arm-R-Seal. I was very impressed. Definitely not as amber as the Waterlox and very easy to apply. I used a foam brush...

No, haven't made up my mind. Going to try a few more coats on the test boards I think but was just curious if anybody else had any input before I invested my time and project into an unfamiliar to...

I'm about to start finishing a pool cue rack for my father for Christmas. It'll be a little late, but I was hoping the good folks of the creek could help me get it done a little faster. I've made...

Well I already trimmed the sides to fit but I can make the rack slightly smaller and redo the breadboards. I wish I thought of the haunched tenon idea. It would have saved me all this work but I...

Well that probably would have worked but that would have moved the breadboards to hide the end grain to the sides. And now it would essentially mean starting over. I think I might just route out...

So I'm in the process of building my father a pool cue rack similar to the much pricier Brunswick one below. Mine will hole likely 10 cues and have the door recessed though. He likes rustic...

I'm making a countertop for some built in cabinets in my home office and came to an issue i could use some help with.

I'm laminating two layers of 3/4" ply for a 1 1/2" top. The bottom layer is...

Roxul can be special ordered at Home Depot regardless of what they tell you. It comes through PrimeSource, the distributor they get their nails and screws from. It took some doing when I ordered...

Sure is. Its not an original motor and the cabinet has been cut to fit it. No original switch either, but the dust door alone is worth the 75 dollars to some people.

My latest project has been a new upholstered queen sized bed for myself. I've built the mattress platform, built and upholstered the footboard, headboard, and sideboards but am stuck on the very...

I like the cart though I don't think I could bear to give up that much floor space.

From what I've seen, the Farenheat, Marley, Q-mark, and Dayton heaters are all the same, just with different labels. I've seen several models for the new air, but I cant imagine they're really any...

I don't understand the desire to keep replacing the thermostats on these units. Mine has been working fine but I saw the potential problem as soon as I opened the door when I installed it. IMO its...

Things are backwards there. Adjust the miter slot to the blade, then the fence to the miter slot. I like a few thousandths of toe out at the back of the fence but its an individual thing. I'd fix...

Sherwin Williams All-Surface Enamel. I've done sever projects using the alkyd version now and really like it. It flows very easily and dries rock hard. I used their Prep-Rite alkyd primer under it...

I would suggest not going with the cordless. I've heard bad things about just about all of them regarding battery life. Owning the Ridgid myself, I can certainly attest to that. I get maybe 5...
