Be sure you understand the zoning rules in your area. Years ago when I was in the building business, tried to build a house with oversize garage planning to build the cabinets for the homes I built....
The pragmatic luthier on Youtube is interesting to watch.
What I have been reading is you make a guitar neck from a 1" thick piece. Have a 12" rip blade for the Hammer saw, was trying to figure out a way to use the sliding table to make the cut, thinking a...
Have both a MM 16 and a Hammer sliding table saw, and was thinking of the most accurate way to cut a 10 degree angle. Was talking to a retired machinist friend, he said he has some type of...
Decided to measure the radio cord, has a flat cord 4x7 mm. Will a 7 mm ferrite ring work?
Thanks, guess I will try what Lee suggests.
I get static on my radio, it is a Sony boombox type, and FM is the problem. It is fine until I turn on the lights. The lights are all LED in the drop in type fluorescent fixtures, when they were...
Did you get the belt over the Y where the air fittings attach? One of the first times I used my Grizzly 15" sander, I got the belt over the Y instead of behind it, and ground off one of the air...
Glad I already have a pretty good shop setup. Would not be wanting to buy much at these prices. The official inflation rate is about 7%, but have heard financial people saying that the real...
I have the 15" Grizzly 5hp, and have no problems with it making flat panels. I do not usually go over 24" panels, and the open end sands those panels flat. Really glad I bought a new open end...
Found a good deal at Menards to replace my 15 y/o Makita sliding miter saw with a Metabo hpt 12" sliding miter saw. The Makita had a little peg on the fence so you could move a fence part away for...
Thanks for the replies.
I have several 18v Dewalt drills, was cheaper to buy another drill than a pair of batteries, and now I am down to about 6 batteries. Was wondering if anyone has bought any of the non-dewalt...
Before you take the planer apart make sure there is no reset button. If you have an owners manual, read that part. My Grizzly 15" will overheat if you try to run a load of lumber through it, and...
Have a neighbors who is a commodities broker, he said people were really getting slammed who bought lumber on the board. No buyers to sell to. He said each contract was costing them 6,000 per day,...
Mice can cause problems with your wiring. Think I would wire, insulate, then cover the walls with either wall board or wafer board.
If you happen to take a trip to Jamaica, try the variety grown there, if I recall correctly it is Blue Mountain coffee. They make it strong. If you just drink coffee there, it will be Folgers, they...
I bought inexpensive LED bulbs, and rewired all my 4' fluorescent fixtures for LED. Happy, and the light is much better.
I put down 1" thick treated YP 4" deck flooring on 16" centers, cut 1" blue dow foam to fill in the gaps, then laid t&g flooring over the top. All splices are on the sleepers. Mine is not finished...
You can buy an outside woodburning furnace. I built a small steel building, and installed a wood furnace, then ran ducts for supply and return to the shop, as I did not want to have a fire in my...
Think if you check, the Grizzly and the CV both have larger impellers than the Oneida. Larger diameter impeller means more suction. Would go with the CV 16" if you go CV. 5hp will handle the...
Last I knew Penn state industries was still selling a 2hp blower assembly.
I used to have a terrible time with glued up panels till I built a solar wood drier. Now I have a ready supply of dry wood.
When I worked at the cabinet shop, we ran a 1/4 x 1/4 groove on the face frame, then machined the side panels so they had a 1/4 x 1/4 tongue, then put glue in the groove, slid the side panels in and...
