    I just signed up a couple of months ago and discussed things very carefully with the staff. While I'm eligible for care, I dont have service related injuries, so no free care. They told me that I...

    I've used Penefin outdoor oil and Cabot's Australian Timber Oil for WO on outside projects. The natural color never lasts long. It goes to gray/black after a while anyway. A re-coat just preserves...

    I've had several, and killed a few. I'd leave it alone for the year and let it recover on its own. It can use the old brown vines to climb on. Mine die back every winter too, and sometimes I cut...

    I've used drawer pull hardware for this, either basic or fancy. But agree it makes it harder to store. The routed slots are good too.

    Well, with a little creative language, I used a hole cutter to make doorknob-sized holes in the panel on each large enough for the driver to fit through. So much for the clean elegant look of a...

    I've used my biscuit joiner to make the pockets for the clip before. More justifiable than a domino.

    Note, one of my worst mistakes, was adding a bottom panel on a table like this. It was...

    More car washes than there used to be. It seems to me that they are being squeezed in on infill and oddly shaped lots that otherwise aren't useful for much else. My guess is that they're good...

    As I recall the righteous scout leaders who did this in Utah thought they were doing a good deed by making the trail safer. Maybe the motivation of these new jerks will come out to be the same. In...

    Not everybody learned that kindergarten rule about returning borrowed things in as good or better shape than you got it. So you have to judge the person asking. But it is hard to turn down family.

    In a similar situation I used a pegged/wedged through-tenon. It also helped to make the long blank legs more interesting.

    It is a pain to deal with the electric cord getting in the way, and tangling up with the stiff input/output hoses. But I still prefer that over another gas engine tool that is only used...

    Good response Evan. The best tool is the one that works for you, for what you do, at a fair price. I have a basic 6" bench top jointer and it has worked fine for me for years, as all my workpieces...
