I am not getting the draw that I need on my TS, so I thinking this weekend that I need to scrap the duct work i laid and just roll my DC up to the machine and use a short flex hose. I think this...

THanks everyone. It was indeed the capacitor. We have a Old Old motor shop here in town with Roy behind the counter who has seen and knows all. Thats not a knock, but a much deserved compliment. ...

THanks for the info. I pulled the capacitors off and sure enough, there is one that is clearly burned up.

FYI, the saw was a factory second purchased off Craigslist. No warrenty inclueded. ...

So I was putting together a small shop cabinet and when reaching down to turn of the saw, I might have pushed a little light on the on button. Thats when i felt the $$$ eject from my wallet.

A...

Dick,

Have you noticed that the HF 46235 blade looks a heck of a lot like the Oshlun 12" 96t blade, p/n SBW-120096 ? I wonder...

Its been a while since I posted anything. The last item I posted was the new baby furniture I made for our 3rd. Well baby has arrived (9/26) and well, guess where all my time has gone.

Anyway,...

anyone know about these? Just saw (now pun intended) them listed on Amazons site for the first time.

TED, what tooth count is "General Purpose" for a 14" bandsaw? I dont know whats in the box right now, but for starters, Ill probably look for a GP style blade.

THanks for the input. Havent set up a bandsaw before, it looks a tad painful sitting in that box right now. BUT, seeing as what I had to go thru with my TS, it cant be much worse. I have high...

I just came into possession of a brand new (still in box) Reliant DD90 14" band saw. Yes, I know its not a real gem of a saw, but for the total amount of $0.00, I think I got a deal. My dad's...

Paul,

No I didnt build the cabinetry. I only do woodworking for myself and my family now. Maybe someday Ill get good enough to sell pieces, but for now, I like learning and making things for my...

Tom, the stain is called matte candlelight on heartwood maple. Nice brown tint with just a tad of red. Its a pretty rich finish as a gloss, but with a matte finish, it makes you wanna touch it...

Thanks everyone. This is actually one of my favorite kitchens that I have designed in the past 5 years. The clients were very open to new ideas and the project made a huge difference in their day...

Being relatively new here at the Creek, I thought I would introduce myself from a professional level. I have the odd position that I am a kitchen designer/project manager by day, but an inspiring...

I too just bought it to pin some small mouldings on my baby crib. Worked great after I realized my a/c tank was empty...son flipped the auto fill switch when he was "just looking" at it.

I also...

She is now somewhat a believer in my home shop!

Mike,

Used Gemini Vinyl sealer tinted to the color. 2 coats and then a light sand.

Then top coated with Gemini Conversion varnish also tinted to the final color. I have never used wither...

Sarge,

Glad you liked it. I'm actually pretty proud of it. I am getting lots of compliments from the wifes of my buddies.

Good idea. I hadnt thought of that.

Well, I cant find any cedar plywood in my area. I was planning on using it for the bottoms of my cedar drawers for a dresser. Only thing I can find is 1/4" closet liner which is OSB like. Not...

Yes, it is indeed very blue. Its actually darker than the photos look. She picked the color, and I have to say, for a babies room, it looks pretty cool. Thats the fun thing about kids furniture,...

Well this is my first real furniture projects made to date. The previous projects were simple shelves, stepstools, etc. My wife showed me a photo in a catalog and I scoffed at the $1800 price tag...I...

Well problem solved. Turns out my original plan of having a buddy paint them is going to work after all. He has a small local cabinet shop, but more importantly he has a paint room and spray...

Wright,

Hey Thanks for the positive feedback. My whole crib is done with mortise and tenons (1st time for that jointery). All in all, there are a few little errors here and there, but it looks...

Jim,

Thanks. Finishing is a real *^$@*.

In regard to the Target USL finishes. We actually have a distributer of the finish here in Richmond. Im planning on going down there tomorrow to check...
