Thanks, Ill try cutting a piece. yeh, went by HD and Lowes and neither had 24", only larger (Lowes has 12" though). thanks again.

Hey all,
I was trying to find a 24" steel piano hinge but it seems that most are 36 or 72". I guess they expect you to just cut it. I can deal with that with a little dremel like cutoff wheel but...

Ill just throw out an idea. I actually saw this and thought it was very clever. A guy had welded up a mobile base for his table saw. Beyond the fact that it was the nicest I had seen at any price,...

I have the Freud 7 piece carbide set and love it. The only thing I have to compare is a cheapo bit for euro hinges that I had bought at the Borg. It was terrible. Drilling maple seemed like it...

Hey Mike,
Nice job. I was thinking of building one and I'd love to hear your experience. I assume this is the Delux Router Station http://www.newyankee.com/getproduct3.cgi?0301

I have a Freud...

I had to make about 10 cuts in some Al draw pulls. It is a bit like cutting 1"x1" x 1/8" thick Al channel

Here is the question: I am using a 12" Chopmaster blade on my chop saw. I think it has...

This maybe would be cheating a bit (or a lot:) ) but does anyone make a cast aluminum table that is machined flat? Or, some kinda of frame that is machined flat?

Thanks all. I found another reference to a router sled for leveling a surface, http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=58

Im still trying to convince myself that the...

Hey all,

Ive been mostly just lurking in the backround but thought Id poke my head out to ask a question I'm a bit stumped on.

Im building (mostly built actually) the rolling workcart project...

I am doing a bunch of casework (builtins, etc) and currently painting everything a certain Kelly Moore color based on their interior alkyd paint. I am spraying using a cheapo conversion gun (seems...

Thanks all for the input. I think all the various points of view are valid. Boy, that grizzly bench is cheap, comparatively anyway. I think Ill just noodle on this for a while. What I really need...

I am thinking of buying a workbench. I know many people would say you should build one but I have so many projects, really am reluctant to take on another. I need something for general use. Most of...

Yeh, I bought one too. Just couldnt help myself. Maybe I need medication. Actually, I have a 3.5 hp Freud which I got for nearly free. And that is about what it is worth. The Freud plunge router...

Hey all:

I've been mostly lurking in the backround as a newbie sawdust generator. Ive even built a few things. Included a pic of a builtin I am on the tail end of finishing ( just need the top...

Very plausable however the wood in question had been sitting in the garage for a long time and was not moved. The spraying was done midday on a rather hot day so I suppose the garage itself, and...

I am curious enough to do a little test this weekend. Ill take one peice of maple and leave it in the AC'd house for 24 hrs. Another Ill place in a sealed container with a moist rag and left...

The whole process was done in my garage. I would estimate the temp was 95 deg. The wood parts were waiting in a garage to get sprayed and so they were at the (air) temp of everything else in the...

Thanks for the tips. The primer, which has the bubbles, is from a spray can, not my gun. So while I may need a moisture trap (when I drain my compessor, water does come out), that is not the...

I am sortof a newbie (been doing wwing for about a yr). Im building a large builtin and currently doing the doors (frames made of soft maple). The whole thing is getting painted using an oil based...

I am on the tail end of a big builtin using 3/4 BB. I did the shelves using dados. I started using my router held against a Griset 50" clamp-N-go

After bungling one of the grooves, I bought...

Nice work. Ill definately have to try the grooved face frame deal. Seems like a nice way to get everything aligned.

Thanks for all the tips. I built 2 carcases with 3/4" BB, each one 15"W x 80"H x 24"D (part of a larger built in). It had dadoed in 3/4" shelves. After glueing and scewing them together, I...

Sorta new to wordworking but with all the mistakes I make, I must be learning something :mad: . Anyway, I see in most books that when doing casework, bookshelves, etc, people see to build the...

Is that the Craftsman Professional? If so, what is your opinion of it. I am entertaining the idea of upgrading my little ridgid portable saw to a cabinet saw. Thought about a craftsman or a...
