So according to my rules, safety equipment is not deducted from the tool budget--as it is needed to run a safe shop. Now I would say that a sawstop is safety equipment--not a tool. ;) So transfer...

I use the PC. But I haven't really looked at the Milwaukee to know how it is different.

I am not an expert. I use inset hinges often. The full overlay will over the edge of frameless cab. The half overlay covers one-half of the edge of a frameless cab. When you are using framed...

I have W&H moulder. It is a fine machine. It's good to get the feedback on the new vari-speed and multi pass add ons.
The only bad thing I would say about them is their 7 year warranty. After...

I would go with the 0593. I drove through Springfield, Mo. last week and thought about stopping at Grizzly. I wish I had a bigger jointer almost every project....

Wow, what a lot of grief. I have used online Home Depot once and after reading your story I will pass on any future buys.
I have a Starrett square and like it better than the cheap one I used...

Thanks, Jim. Maybe my store still has old stock.

I use collins foot, but I still use coping saw for 1/4" round and a few other things. Also, when I have put down shoe on a third floor I cut free hand with "jap" saw. I'm to old to be carrying...

Jim,
Did it say acrylic on the can? I went in to see about it and the cans did not say acrylic, but the owner of the store said was acrylic. I didn't get any because I want it to say acrylic on...

I have used drill press. Pain to setup. Hard to get leverage to cut the mortise.
I have also used plunge router. Very noisy.
I now have general tilt head benchtop. It works better than the...

I've used mine both ways, but cutting on the pull stroke seems to work better for most cuts.

Bill,
You changed my mind with your info on FL3. I went and ordered one from smart shopper with a full array of tips. It cost half of the mini-mite 3 system. Thanks for your help. I'll post how...

The finishline will run off a smaller compressor. People online say the PHS-1 will paint with a "hot dog" compressor. I talked to Jeff and he has a gun that should work with my smaller compressor. ...

After the fiasco with the home depot hplv gun, I thought I would stop in and ask here what would be the best gun for me.
I will probably be spraying Ben Moore oil paint and Ben Moore primer. I have...

First you are blessed by having such a wonderful wife. As far as the tools go, I have a bosch 10" slide. I can cut up to an eleven inch board. Baseboard, casing and crown are all done well on...

Yes, I use Firefox. I was able to open file. The armoire looks like it will be beautiful. I am still taking little begining steps with sketchup so all of the help I've gotten here has been great....

Nope, I re-booted and I get the same stuff. I have a zip program, and I have the goggle sketch-up.
I will try other computer and see what happens.
Thanks,
Marion

All I get is computer stuff, no download of file. Am I the only one?
Thanks,
Marion

Great work! I was wondering when you said you build them--do you outsource your doors? And what paint are you using and I assume you are spraying?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Fine Woodworking has some good articles on that. You may have to be a paying member to download them, but you can also buy them one at a time.
And yes, my jointer is tuned with sharp blades. :)...

I am thinking I want to put a nicer finish on painted units. I try to let the homeowner deal with the finish, but this year I painted two built-ins and one set of kitchen cabinets. I need to figure...

Well, the gun from home depot is a conversion gun.(It is not a bleeder gun.) It does spray the gloss paint, but I had to thin so much it was real runny.
The people had Husky(Campbell) have a...

I bought HVLP gun from home depot to spray a couple of bookcases. I'm using Ben Moore oil paint and was trying to spray the primer. I couldn't get the spray bigger than an 1 1/4". I thinned the...

I know I guy who cut off tip of two different fingers. Once 30 years ago--making just one last cut, and once a couple years ago--making just one last cut.
I don't work when I'm tired. And I...
