Tip: All dust you didn't clean up will end up in the finish.
Practice. Sanding sealer is good for practice. Make sure your stance, positioning of the work piece, and handling of the gun are...
I have radiant, hydronic heat in the floor of my shop. Steady temperature, no blowers, no filters, no flames, R19 walls, R49 ceiling. Materials were about $400 more than hanging a gas unit. After...
As one who uses a stick to get around, I would recommend some research into how heavily she will depend upon this cane for support. I would venture that a curved handle, although more difficult to...
I use ammonia and an old toothbrush to clean pitch from my tools. If you can stand the smell.
Shingles can be a miserable experience. Sometimes the effects persist for weeks. It is spread by contact in the same manner as its progenitor, chicken pox. My wife and I, in our 60s, had chicken...
Count me in. The last thing I won was the military draft. Maybe I'm due.
Radiant hydronic heat in the floor is what I have. No filters, no pilot lights, no hot surfaces, no drafts.
I have a Drill Doctor. It is really nice to be able to touch up a bit on the spot rather than have to go get another, regardless of price. I don't have a grinding wheel, so would not be able to...
Laguna has the owner's manuals on line. These go through all the adjustment procedures for each aspect of the bandsaws.

Is this what is sometimes called a banquette (bankette)? My wife has one on her list for when we remodel.
Except for my Forrest WWII blades, I take planer blades, shaper inserts, saw blades to Woodcraft on Miller Road in Greenville. Whoever does the actual work does a good job, reasonably priced.
I'm in on this, too.
Count me in, too.
I use Johnson Paste Wax on everything. Boeshield on table saw blades. Lubrication grease where indicated, light machine oil where needed. The humidity level in my heated shop runs around 25%. The...
Duly posted with anticipation.

I built my previous workbench out of Douglas Fir, 2x4. I picked the ones I wanted and laminated them with through all-thread. The damage that occurred to the top was never a problem for me. Once...
I stayed with XP because of the shortcomings of Vista. When 7 came out, I could not justify upgrading for $100+ when what I had did what I wanted on this old machine (2007). When the test version...
I have an LT-18. The plate on the motor indicates that it draws 15 amps at 220 volts. How does that convert to 110 volts?

For what it's worth, the slab in my shop is independent of the footers because it has radiant hydronic heating tubing installed in it. The slab is separated from the footers by rigid foam board...
Just the other day, I was cutting on the bandsaw with the dust collector running. The sound of the unit changed to a higher pitch, then the unit quit. 2hp Oneida Gorilla.
It's been installed...
This doesn't mean much to me, but here is some use of UHMW for a lathe.

I gleaned all the knowledge that I could from this site and others prior to building my shop. After three years, I find some things good enough to recommend quickly to others.
First of all, the...
