Just cut some more. My co-worker said it smelled strongly of cinnamon. To me the cinammon was pretty subtle, but maybe a little cedar-y smell too. Sawdust was pink, not tan. I think we can rule out...

I was at an estate sale on Saturday and they had a stack of a dozen boards for sale that I ended up buying. They were heavily weathered and had bolt holes, so I'm guessing they were reclaimed from...
Easy enough! Just ordered the little Senco for $90 on Amazon. Thanks all for the feedback.
I'd never heard of the gas cartridge Paslode guns... man that's cool.
Clever idea. I guess I could fill up a tank like that using my big compressor at the shop and then take the small one to the jobsite. Something like this?...
Every time I lug my 'portable' compressor to a jobsite, I grumble about it. It's heavy, and awkward, and deafeningly loud (older Porter Cable two-wheeled unit). And I generally am just tacking in a...
Really glad to hear I'm not the only one interested in higher quality pre-finished sheets for cabinetry... now I just need to FIND the stuff in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Surely it exists...
Plywood Co gets a whole lot of my money. I like them. They sell unfinished C2 maple and pre-finished Chinese birch.
Hi folks, all the major plywood suppliers in the DFW area sell pre-finished chinese birch plywood for cabinet interiors. I was hoping to find a source for pre-finished domestic maple or birch, aiming...
Thanks. I'm not at the shop right now, but ereplacement parts said there is a 'start' capacitor and a 'run' capacitor. Not sure which one is the broken one. But ereplacement parts said both...
Thanks much! Any suggestions on best store or type of store to get one? I'm in Dallas.

Hi folks, I confess at the outset I'm a complete electrical idiot. I have a 10 year old Delta 50-760 dust collector (1.5 HP). It wouldn't turn on this morning so I opened up the switch...
It came from Washington D.C. This will be a delicate conversation...
John, did you see the pictures of the end grain I attached previously? What do you think?

Hi folks, a customer shipped me a small board that is supposedly from a very famous elm tree. I've never worked with elm before. To me, this board looks just like white oak, and when I began milling...
We will be in Vancouver proper... looks like there's a Lee Valley 25 minutes from our hotel. They've gotten a lot of my money over the years, but not sure it's worth a big trip to visit them in...
Hi folks, I'll be spending a couple days in Vancouver, BC in the near future. Was wondering if there's anything woodworking-related I should seek out while I'm there. Won't have a ton of spare time,...
It's a 6" port coming straight up the top. The Grizzly 3hp has a 7" duct out the side (6" or so off the ground). It actually has 3, 4" ducts, but that is removable.
As an aside, my drum sander...
I can't vent outside, but I'm curious about your solution... Did you ditch the cyclone with the wide belt altogether? And you now just blow all the dust outside? If so, I'm guessing you don't have...
Finally ordered my first wide belt sander last week and need to get dust collection squared away in my small commercial shop. All the 37" wide belts specified 1000 CFM in dust collection capacity,...
Bruce, I PM'd you. Eric, I have a 2 man shop. I'd love to tell you I'm doing a kitchen a day, but I'm not. I do more furniture than cabinetry, but a CNC could allow me to ramp up production on...
Hi folks,
I'm trying to get educated on CNC's for woodworking (cabinetry + cutting some smaller hardwood parts). The big industrial machines I saw at AWFS and IWF are incredible, but not...
Gene, looks like the zero protrusion Blum's will work fine at 90 degrees. Thanks.
Jamie, great solution if I couldn't find a hinge that would work. And I didn't know about S and P. Thanks for...
Hi folks, I'm building a pantry for a customer who wants full overlay doors (face frame) and pull-out drawers in the pantry. There's a fridge one one side of the pantry and a wall on the other, so...
I have the Felder AD951 (20" jointer/planer) with a Tersa cutter head. And I have a 20" Jet planer with a Byrd head. Both give great results. I've changed (turned) the carbide inserts twice now on...
