I bought a Stihl about three years ago. It has been in the shop almost constantly. It has never run for more than three minutes continuously. Warranty has run out and nobody can make it to work. I'm...

I did not do the work, but one of our former houses had the master suite over the garage. We live in Michigan. The garage was unheated and I think uninsulated. Twice in 11 years, the water supply to...
Dave,
The first time I visited the wall was soon after it was completed. It was a very difficult experience. My wife happened to be with me. I did not overtly express the inner turmoil I felt but...
I have had good luck recycling pallets. I got a few that turned out to be 16/4 plantation mahogany. It was so nice I used some of the wood to build a clock.
In a former shop, I had a similar problem. I fastened vertical battens to the overhead rafters, then fastened the pegboard to the battens. I only applied pegboard to the upper 4 feet of the walls of...
I have four or five purpose-built marking knives, but still reach for my Exacto knife.
I'm a big HTC fan. I've had HTC, tried others and even had my own bases custom made. I always come back to HTC. I happen to be near HTC, so I drive to their factory and discuss products with them...
I purchased the extra remotes at different times. Woodcraft has them packaged separately and hanging on their racks. just go in and buy one. They are also available online.
...
Another vote for the Rockler unit. I also bought mine at Woodcraft. I bought extra remotes and velcroed them to each of my stationary machines right beside the on/off switch.
I'm in please.
In the printing industry where neutral color perception is critical, 5600 Kelvin is the standard. I believe this evolved from the color temperature of photographic film. Personally, I like warmer...
I also have an end vise and use it frequently. I use it mostly with wooden bench dogs to capture a piece, but find it convenient to use the vise alone often. Maybe it's just a matter of what you are...
I received a Craftsman 1/2 inch drive socket set for my 16th birthday in 1962. It has fixed cars, motorcycles, appliances, houses and other things I have forgotten decades ago. It has been a hammer,...
I'm not sure I can add any more relevant information. I have an INCA 12" table saw with a riving knife. I've owned it for over 15 years. It is always perfectly positioned and I have not had a...
Cool. I'm in.
I refinished a shower stall last year using a Big Box aerosol epoxy kit. It was a two part mixture that required a mind-numbing ritual to use. I had to return twice to get more product, it required...
I think I remember being 56.
For my son's Weblo project a few years ago, I did a duck decoy project. I cut the body and head blanks from basswood. I glued them together before the project started. I took rasps, files, sandpaper...
As Frederick Rowe noted, a miter trimer is a fantastic way to get clean accurate miters. I have a Lion and it seems like the miters are one piece of wood once glued up.
I also cut miters on my...
Firefox worked OK for me. So did Safari.
I checked them out at a Home Show booth. I was completely stone walled when I asked for information. I had to go to one of their showroom presentations and sign up before they would answer any...
I have my Rockwell bench top radial arm drill press mounted on a metal cabinet with full extension drawers. I've taken each one and sectioned it to fit and sort drills.
This is my INCA guard. The saw has a shrouded, enclosed dust collection system which is excellent, but I figured it can't hurt to help it a bit. I cut a hole in the top of the guard and bolted on a...
