Hey guys,
Asked about turning some jewelry plugs here a little while ago. I finally got the lathe from my friend and been playing around, seem to have the hang of it enough to be able to turn them...

Thanks for the info guys.. Actually I just cut down some pretty big oak branches off this weekend and are just waiting for trash at the side of the yard. Problem is I borrow a chainsaw and my bandsaw...

Well, I just got my slow speed grinder from woodcraft and the wolverine jig. Need to play with the grinder a little bit because it vibrates like crazy out of the box.

Going to be turning small...

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I am going to start playing around seeing how I can get them done once I get the slow speed grinder so I can sharpen the tools.

I am sure I will have many...

Seems I am about to be sucked into turning. Long story short, friend of mine wanted some jewelry turned and their grandfather had a minilathe he never used. Told me I could have it if I would just...

Told ya I would be back with the DC setup help once I got the layout.. :)

Well going by how I am laying it out, which is pictured below, you can see the connection to the tablesaw will be very...

with all the big main ducts hanging down perpendicular to the joists, it makes it a couple inches under 7 feet. That drop down is down the whole middle of the room. It feels like it is right on top...

Ok guys, I actually moved all the stuff around. Fine to see it on paper but a lot better to see it and walk around it.

I am not comfortable with the TS on the lower ceiling side at all, the...

I think I like the table saw at a 45.. I didnt even think of that. I might go play with that right now on the mobile base..

No idea how I didnt even notice that while moving it around... :)

I thought of that, but that puts my DC host pointing towards the doors and either a really long run to wrap around to the other side or it just being in the way..

I just can't seem to be happy...

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear..

At the top of the picture by the middle wall, I think that is what you are talking about.. That is a set of steps coming down. So kind of permanent :)...

Well I am FINALLY getting my shop in order after we moved earlier this year. Having trouble making up my mind on how to position some tools and mainly the table saw and dust collector. Would greatly...

Had a electrician come last week who was recommended to wire up my new shop as well as my new PM66 5hp. From the #s on the saw he said a 30amp breaker would do just fine. I found the manual so he...

Well it is really a friends floor, but I am helping him repair a few places on the floor before he does the tile job. Neither of us had any idea about the plywood being interior/exterior so I figured...

Bah, right when I post this and feel ok about leaving it down I read I should not use CDX for tile. I guess D has too many voids and in general is not recommended. Sigh. Back to the prybar, I can't...

Thanks for the replies. I am going to assume its exterior. Stuff is beyond a pain to rip out and hard to not mess up the layer under it when trying to pry it up.

Thanks for the help.

I am guessing that would make it exterior grade? Just need to make sure before I leave the rest down so I can tile over it. Tiling over interior is not advised.





Thanks

Took up some vinyl to lay down some type and have to replace a few pieces of the plywood that are damaged. I need to make sure my top layer of subfloor plywood is exterior grade though. I couldn't...

If you get the Bies, don't order from amazon. I ordered one for my PM66 back on April 26th and it is still being delayed. Suppose to ship first week of June. I don't have my shop all setup yet after...

If money is not an issue.. What about teak? Harder on your tools but should do a great job and last a long time. Could get a little more for the wear on your tools out of them.

well looks like I will be using brushes. So much for a new toy, you guys are no fun.

John, if you don't mind could you tell me what "the Target USP with brush" is? Perhaps I am just missing...

Phil, do you think its worth a try at using a HVLP conversion gun for shooting the doors and trim with an alkyd enamel like the Impervo? If I got bad results I wouldn't be heartbroken because I have...

The reason I wanted to buy was because I had planned on doing each room as I got there instead of taking down all the doors and doing them at once and having to paint all in 1 day. I also wanted to...

Phil,

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any recommendations on decent airless sprayer? I have tried to look but hard for me to figure out what is decent and what is just a waste of money. I...

Well my main concern was just my compressor. I don't need to be able to go nonstop for long periods of time but don't want to get a bad job because of an undersized compressor. I always thought I...
