I have used lots of files, and the Pferd ones I use for chainsaw sharpening are really great, and cut well. I have not tried or found the Bahco's. Most files now are box store use and pitch...

If you are moving them yourself and have little help, taking them apart is not a big deal, and you will learn lots about them when you reassemble. We moved 18 months ago. Moving company moved...

I have a 3hp Unisaw, do not know the year it was made, but it is at least 15 years old. it cuts 8/4's oak like butter with a 40T combination blade. Having the fence adjusted so the blade is...

I have a Delta "dust collector" model 50-179 with a 3/4hp motor and centrifugal fan mounted on a fiberglass or heavy plastic lid which passes the "fine" dust into a fabric bag. The base is a large...

I recently needed a sheet of 3/4" plywood for a workbench project. Looked at the stuff in Lowes and Home Repo. Bought a A/D sheet from the local lumberyard that was actually less than Lowes and...

I would suggest taking a piece of aluminium 1x2x1/4" long enough to cover top and bottom wheels and then some. Then take some scrap aluminium or some very straight wood and make parallels to...

That lumber yard (not the saw) looks like my recollections of lumber yards from 40+ years ago in the US with my father.

Great idea and clever implementation. Adding a dust collection hose sounds like good idea as well. Thanks for the suggestion

Beautiful shop. I saw the wood panel with the image of a mid 50's Ford 1/2 pickup as well as the propellers and a vehicle license plate I do not recognize (may be Illinois). Are the planes you...

I recently moved all of my shop tools into the basement shop, via the stairs and a hand truck. Moved a 3hp unisaw, a 6+6 rockwell drill press, a F1000 Hitachi planer jointer, and a rockwell 12x36...

My recollections of the high school shop I took a class in are quite clear. The shop was large, had 6 workbenches for students, 2 big oliver lathes, a very large planer (I think it was 36"), table...

I cancelled my subscription to FWW when the publisher split the publication into several magazines which I see they have now reversed. The publisher had the audacity to charge the same price for the...

The Baltic Birch I have bought was 5' x 5' and the "good stuff". I have seen and bought some "fake" stuff as well a number of years back. I bought the good stuff from Aura Hardwoods in San...

I use my trusty Rockwell Delta 14" wood band saw for aluminium. Works great. A horizontal band saw is great, more money.

One caution about thickness. I have a bowling alley duckpin lane end as a workbench top (it is large and made of hard maple with a yellow poplar core). My wood vise fits, only after I routed a...

Our art studio above the garage has a 12' long desk surface in three sections. They are made out of oak plywood with a 1x2 for the lip standing on edge. They are hinged at the top or back of the...

I would suggest as does Bradley in the prior post to look for a used saw. Powermatic 66's come up for sale regularly, not as often as unisaws. I got a lightly used Unisaw 3hp for $700 with a...

Great straightforward article, helped me answer what lighting I need in my new to me 14 x 24 foot shop in the bowels of the earth.
