We'll be putting up open shelves in our kitchen. We want them painted white with as little grain visible as possible and glossy so they're easy to clean. I'm looking at premium pine or poplar. Any...

I hope I'm not posting this to the wrong forum. I'll be moving to Pittsburgh in a few weeks and want to put up shelves in my kitchen. I'm thinking 6-quarter painted wood (maybe poplar?) and looking...
Number 3 for sure. I have a Shark Guard which I love.
Before I was so rigourous about safety I split my thumb on my old saw. Functionality is fully restored but there's a bit at the tip that's...
I have some bins labeled and organized for stuff I have a lot of. But I also have 3 misc. Bins - one for screws, one for nut&bolts and one for washers. Then I have a plastic sorting bin - about 9 in...
I have a different story of tool manufacturers. A few years back I was an investor in a company that made a cart for maintenance people to carry their tools - each tool in a separate pocket, labeled...
I found a piece of glass that I'm pretty sure was tempered in the "As Is" section of IKEA near me. I think it was a top for a night stand or something. Nice beveled edges etc.
Very Nice. I did a similar thing with HF 500lb table. I think is cost $125. I detached the hand release for the piston from the metal bar it came with and attached it to the underside of my torsion...
I built a dust cannon. It's basically a piece of 4" pvc on an arm that swivels and raises to any angle. One end is attached to a hose to my dust collector and the other is aimed at wherever I want to...
15 years ago I cut my thumb on the table saw. It healed OK but the tip has has been numb since then. After that I always use the guard. Except when I'm using it to make a dado. My saw has a riving...
Alan,
Let me add my experience which is just that. I don't mean to ignite any religious wars.
Quality tools vs cheap tools. I actually believe there is a place for both. The advantage of quality...
I would definitely go with all 4 swivel. It's so much easier to move around than with 2 straight. I use 2 with brakes and 2 without and never had a problem that way.
I've never used the Grizzly...
I'm planning to build a torsion box and they say you need a flat surface to build one - but if I had a flat surface I wouldn't need a torsion box.
[And I know about jointing 2x4 on shimmed saw...
I recently made columns (about 16 inches high) from 4 inch pvc pipe fitted into circular grooves in a base and a top made from mahogany. I painted them with textured paint and they looked pretty...
As your skills grow your interest in various magazine articles will change as well. If you can find a library that subscribes to a couple wood working mags so you can check out back issues that's a...
Dude, It's a bunk bed for your kids. I'd just finish it the handiest way you have which sounds like 2-3 coats of minwax poly (indoors or out based on what's most convenient and the weather). Then...
Steve,
Was it the layout that was causing the problem or something else. Please elaborate and help save our sinuses.
Thanks.
I got an off brand pocket hole set - much cheaper than a Kreg. But check for this: for proper adjustment in different thicknesses of wood, the piece that guides the drill needs to be adjustable up...
Maybe I'm weird (OK no maybe) but I love mine. The glue is right there when I need it no matter how close to empty the bottle is and it's easy to use with one hand.
The cap doesn't fit on quite...

I agree with everyone else who said you did the right thing.
The only thing I'd add is that you ask your wife to stop being the go-between. If he tells her something to tell you, she should just...
I have the BT3100 and it's great for a small saw. Very accurate when tuned up and a lot of features for the money. The "cult" website is http://www.bt3central.com/ but since Ryobi discontinued the...
John,
I noticed that the dust collection from the Triton comes in at the side, while some of the others allow you to connect the hose from the top.
Does it get in the way with the Triton?

Holy Cow! This thread is getting almost as long as a thread on Dust Collection.
You do want double locking caster. The problem I have with the Harbor Freight ones is that they often need to be...
Keep in mind that magazines have to fill their covers with articles every month. Eventually there isn't much more to be said on a specific topic - after all, the stuff in wood working magazines is...
