Doug - DON'T DO IT!!!! LN is the crack of the hand tool world! TLN is doing something to the tools that want you to keep buying more!
Actually, I started with Marples and bought 2 LN's. Then 2...
Steve - I am by no means an expert on DC. I did however move from a Jet 1.5hp to a cyclone last Spring. After much research I decided that for me the best thing was to go with Oneida. They do a...
Wow that looks GREAT! I really like how you got everything so round and cylindrical shaped. Plus the coloring is really super. I'd say it's an exact replica of a Coke can! :D :D
That is a really...
Stephen - I'm in the middle of working on my bench. It is a remake of the FWW version from the Tools edition from 2005 I believe. I purchased a factory second top from Bally Block for about $100. ...
Joe _ I use the Husky bags as well. They fit tight around the drum. Almost too tight. They are durable enough to get the saw dust out of my shop and through the house! :) Actually, they do hold up...
I have noticed that it can take awhile to completely suck out all the air. What I've done is take the full bag and place it into the empty bag while in the barrel. Then roll over the new bag's ends...
Robert / Gary - The 140 is an interesting choice. I don't think I'll be doing much prep work by hand. I have to balance getting my projects complete with the limited time in the shop.
I like to make one or two plane purchases a year to build up my collection. Well, it's that time. Also, an unexpected check from work showed up and the LOML has given me the green light to get...
I use the 3 mil contractor bags at HD.
I sit the new bag in place without wrapping it over the edge and then put the old bag of chips (tied off) in the bin to remove the excess air. I then wrap...
Chris - when I installed mine I would check for leaks by placing a scrap piece of ply over the end of the duct run (don't cover the opening entirely). I tried to check for leaks and seal as I...
Chris - Great job! It took me a week to get mine built and in place. And another week to plumb and seal the ductwork. If you can, seal the straight pipe before you install. You'll end up having...
I second the Marples. They are a great working set with good steel. As for planes, look at used Stanleys from the early 1900's. There are a few online dealers and many available at flea markets. ...
I can't believe Heather left!!! :eek:
You say she left in March or April? I bought my 3HP around that time. Could I have driven her that crazy???? :D
Good luck with setting up the...
Chris - It should. I picked up my 3hp using a trailer and I'm sure if you take out the seats of the mini van you should not have any problems.
Say Hi to Heather!

A few years ago I jointed, ripped, and planed a 9' piece of 12/4 mahagony in my 26' shop. I used a 6" jointer :eek: and lots of roller stands. It was challenging to say the least. I was very...
If you have the room then why not? If you are worried about the planer then for a few hundred extra get the 3hp and use the room for more wood. Plus you can sell your other DC to offset the price.
I bought the 3hp and I'm a 1 man shop that is 13 x 26. My feeling was that this would be the last DC I would need. So if/when I move to a bigger shop I would not need to upgrade. For the money the...
I'm thinking the problem with putting the jointer to the left of the pole may crowd the outfeed side. What if you move the cabinet/dresser that you have on the short wall (to the left of the TS) and...
Chuck - I have the same issue. For now I have mine TS positioned similar to yours. Once I get my workbench built (a real one) I'm going to move the TS so that the side extension table is...
Marty - Its been awhile that I've posted but I keep reading! You are doing a tremendous job. I've never been that fond of heights either so I can completely understand contracting the roof out.
...
112???? You're complaining about 112???!!!! Geez when I was a kid we had to roof the house when it was 120 with no shoes on cuz the rubber on our shoes would melt onto the tarpaper and shingles. ...
MY EYES! MY EYES!!! THEY ARE BURNING!!!!!!! :D
Marty - It's amazing what you can do with digital photos! :D
Bravo!!!! Now about those trusses......:p
BTW the shorts are cute. I'm sure with a fresh coat of red nail polish you'll be the...
Marty - Since you have that large backhoe why don't you use it and the excavation crew to raise the walls? ;) Nice catch!
