Gimp. It's free. Steep learning curve but it does everything.
I need to attach two pieces of tempered hardboard together with zero seams as the hardboard will be exposed to water. The joined pieces will be used for a pottery bat (attaches to the turning wheel...
I have a "sound card interface" that allows me to do this. The card is not a card but an interface box. The one I have is a Focusrite Scarlett. It's expensive and used for interfacing musical...
We dropped DirecTV for all of the above stated reasons. Our OTA antennas are about 30 miles line-of-sight away. We bought this and keep it near our front window. Most of the time it works well but...
Dust the mower with ground red chili pepper. We have to do this when our cats decide to take a dump in the yard. Works every time.
I've leveled the machine numerous time using different materials but it doesn't seem to matter. As far as load density, most of the wash is my wife's running clothes (no sweats) a few towels and...
We have 2 front loaders - washer and dryer. They sit on a concrete floor in the basement. The floor is not level. Both sit on shop made stands made from 4x4 and doubled up 3/4" ply. The dryer is...
Woodcraft is still selling the Freud FT3000 for $199. This is a great deal for a 3 1/2 HP router. Install this router in your table and you wont need a lift. This is one of the best deals around. ...
I have the 611pk. What I like the most about it is the size and weight. It is very easy to handle and move around. I'm cutting a lot of slots from small boards. This was difficult with my Bosch...
Incra makes a plate to fit the FT3000. You can find it at their site of try Woodcraft. They were selling this plate for $79 with 3 rings last month but it is no longer on their web site.

The zero tolerance approach to punctuation by Lynne Truss.
A great read.
I thought handscrews had to be parallel in order to work. I will try again and practice to see what I can improve on. Does it matter that my clamps are HF?
I have 3 handscrew clamps that I've never used. I also have a new Incra Ultra jig. They suggest using a handscrew clamp to hold the stock to its fixture. I can't get the jaws to lay flat on both...

Funny thing about Craftsman, around here, everything on Craigslist is Craftsman EXCEPT socket wrenches. I love this thread as I had no idea that some wrenches had more clicks then others and the...
I get a page redirect everytime I try theburlforum.com Also, tried the delphi link as well with the same result. Are they down?
The problem I have with kits like Costco's is the duplication of things I already own, like wrenches and bits.
What is a 6/12 pt socket? That term is unfamiliar.
SnapOn and MAC are way overkill. I'm no spring chicken so a lifetime warranty doesn't mean a lot to me. Just want to pop a socket on the wrench and have it not fall off but fit snuggly. I've seen...
I build a lot of boxes using box and dovetail joints. For these I use the Incra Ultra jig. I can cut the all of the joints in about 2 minutes and I"m still slow at it. They come out perfectly all...
I've been using an ultra cheap HF socket set for the past 5 years. There's not one socket in that set that fits anything snuggly. On top of that, the sockets often fall out of the wrench. It's time...
I have the 1 DVD out plan. Most of the DVDs that I get are foreign, and are not available locally. I usually have a queue for both DVDs and streaming but generally get both on impulse. I'd ditch...
A drill is not a good idea. I've ruined one router already with that technique. I keep hoping that I'll find an existing router crank handle that will fit the Freud.
I tried one but I like the ratchet better as I have more control over it.
I'm using my socket/rachet wrench to raise and lower my Freud FT3000 in my router table. Works pretty good and is fast. However, it would be even better if I didn't have to change the turn...
To get to my shop I have to go thru either the kitchen or garage, both of which are very narrow entries. Then it's down 7 steps with a left turn to more steps to a sharp right into the shop. I've...
