I live in a place called Fiery Gizzard Cove in TN. I can't get cable. I can't get cell phone. I can't get pizza delivery. I do get on line on a good at at 19k. I'm still thinking of going with...

one more thing about TN: there ain't no state income tax!

Here's the deal. If you fall off a ladder and break your arm, leg, hand, whatever, you'll be taking time off like it or not. Take at least one stinking day. Go to an afternoon movie. Have dinner. Go...

The water is flowing great over Foster Falls.
I live on Fiery Gizzard Cove.
We did have snow this winter. About 1.5 - 2 inches total: give or take.
Dogwoods are starting to bloom.
Lots of baby...

Mitch, I live about 30 miles west of Chattanooga. Near Kimbal and S. Pittsburg. It is more than I hoped it would be. I came here from Florida by way of Brooklyn, NY. Chattanooga is busy and will soon...

i am going to be getting some pecan from a mill. I was thinking of using that for a top for my old bench. Any thoughts about this? I understand pecan is a very hard wood.

I had a third hand once... scared me to death!!! Now I miss it.

I was recently told that the two most dangerous tools in your shop are:
1 - the tool you're most afraid of
2 - the tool you fear the least
It was a long story, but that should keep you thinking...

The real bright side... she only used one of your chisels!!! Think about that for a moment.:eek:

I have a two-horse trailer that is now a camper. So I took the two stall matts that were there to help keep the horses feet safe from injuries. These mats are a very heavy rubber and I put them on...

Well, you got me on what type it is, but I took that booger apart today and found it wasn't stripped after all. Appreciate the offer though. I only paid $16 for it so I wasn't all that worried about...

I picked up a Baley #5 at an antique shop last week. When I got it home, I found out the the screw to adjust the depth of the cut is stripped! Can this be fixed?

I couldn't agree more. I do make rustic furniture and I do it almost everyday. Due to some medical problems, some days I just can't. I was a supervisor of graphics for one of the largest direct mail...

Ya know... I started working for my father when I was nine. I didn't want to, but the choice wasn't mine. I've worked all my life since then. I'm retired now. Your hobbies, as you call them, sound...

Well, in my day back in Brooklyn, NY, we got a piece of 2X4, split a roller skate in half. Nailed on half to one end of the twoby and the other half to the other end. Then we nailed a wooden milk...

John, the only advice I might give is to leave the project alone for a day or two. It's amazing how we can figure out the error of our ways after the anger and frustration has subsided. I build...

A few thousand years???? Guess I'm a little slow on the uptake!
Thanks. I'll try that tomorrow. BTW. I did think of that, but it seemed too simple. Go figure.

Is T-88 available at Lowes or HD?

Every so often, like about everyday or so, I cut a tennon slightly smaller or a mortise slightly larger then I should have. What's the best way to resolve a situation like that? I really appreciate...

Years ago I wanted some kind of pouch that would roll up small and carry specific tools I needed for racing enduros and just plain old woods/trail riding. I went to an Army and Navy store and found a...

Craig, I recently bought the 3650 and have had zero problems with the fence. Just the other day I was cutting two inch thick black oak with no problems. I'd suggest you go through the assembly manual...

My dad was the smartest uneducated man I ever knew. He was a factory worker all his life and did "side jobs" to make additional money. He could do just about anything except being a good dad. I had...

I always got a kick seeing all the bandaids on his fingers in many of his shows. Made me feel normal... well almost normal.

Here’s a link to a review that sealed the deal for me to buy a 3650. And I’m still loving it. The price was $549. I had saved just about all I needed to buy it but something came along and my savings...

Focus on your successes. For instance: I helped develop a system to eliminate waste/time/whatever. But don't stop there! Six months after we initiated the system we realized a twenty percent...
