Carl,

My original plan, was to put the ply by the door, but those damned door tracks hang down below 8' and I'd never manage to get the plywood sheets out of the corner.

I hadn't considered the...

Hey again,

I was in Korea for 5 years, with no shop, I used to post on Badger Pond, and moved to the Mill before I went overseas. I recognize lots of the same names from way back then.

I...

It's got a clock in it!

I can see having a timer, so you can get a ring when your glue-up is dry, but you are supposed to be in there losing track of time, not keeping track.

Or maybe if the...

I just came across this website with lots of nice big machinery, 16" ras, 16" TS, heavy duty 24" planer, and a 36" BS. The stuff appears to go off the auction block by the 27th.

Unfortunately, I...

I'm in asia for work, but I was travelling in China on a tourist jaunt. pay rate is $1 per hour there. It's more like 14-15$ in Korea.

Here's what real men use.

We won't talk about how long they can remain real men before they start losing appendages, but I think it's safe to say this doesn't meet OSHA requirements.

The...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but unless I misremember that rotating machines class in college, most hand tools use "universal" motors. If I remember rightly, the darned things run on just about...

I bought a $6.00 file with guide for sharpening my chain, found in the chainsaw section of your local box store or wally world. If you're looking to cut through everything like butter, I wouldn't...

Very impressive, you're right, worth a yearly check out and reminder of what is possible

aren't you worried about putting the grain at 90 degrees on your drawer fronts? You mention that the bottom drawer is 9" tall.

Or is this built in air conditioning and going to be in a house with...

A couple of things:

First, I am no expert.

1. I just cut a hole in my ceiling for my cyclone motor to stick up through. Worked like a champ.

2. A guy named Jim Halbert swore up and down...

Admit it, you need a Bobcat.

That would be perfect for hauling around those 48" rounds, and chucking them up on your lathe. Then you'll need it again to haul all the shavings out of the shop.
...

Here's the way I see it.

I go to the shop to enjoy myself. I'm not particularly fond of messing around making jigs, tuning my machines repetitively, having to make 8 passes on a board to plane...

Interesting, I think exposure to walnut dust decreased my ability to smell by about 50%. If I cut one board now, it's not unusual for me to sneeze. And I know I'm allergic to aromatic cedar.

As...

If you plan on doing very much woodworking, spring for the 8".

I've got a 6, and as soon as I started face jointing rough stock, I figured out I made a mistake.

If you don't plan on doing lots...

One way to make sure it never happens is have a breaker with a low voltage trip. If the voltage drops below a specified limit, the breaker will open.

The only problem with this is that I expect...

I made my own circle jig, and end up remaking it every time I use it, but one thing I've had problems with that would also cause your problem is putting the center of the circle in front of the blade...

I've had experience with two different sets of Jesada bits.

The bits I bought didn't work from the factory, but I was able to change the shims to get them right.

The bits a customer of mine...

After experiencing the same thing myself, I bought my own planer. Now I have no one to blame but myself.

for big bunches of wood, hit and miss 15/16 and straightlined is as low as I would want to...

Hmmmm. That first sentence was certainly amusing. Your choice of words seems to mean that you see yourself as a fair peice older than him. I always thought youth was relative, I know people old...

Are the catalog sales going to close too?

13.5 hrs OT this weekend.

I've either got money or time, but never both.

But I did get my leaves raked!

I'm there.

I like working more than standing around anyway.

That's what comes from a desk job.

Much better than what I did, I chickened out and bought chairs.

Did you M&T everything? or do the chairs have screws in them? Round or square M&T?

Those should be around for your great...

I have recently spent much time at work, having the effect of excess money. I make it a rule that all excess monies have to be spent on tools before they go to something frivolous such as housing. ...
