If the "chobs" are what I have seen at Woodcraft they will only work with a board 3/4" or less in thickness. I have been using clear rubber peel and stick feet that are about 3/4" square and 3/16...

Thanks for the responses. I assume I would need to use some sort of exterior grade plywood beneath the concrete board. Would sealing the underside of regular plywood work out or am I asking for...

I have a 12,000BTU window unit in a 400 sq ft attached garage with insulated walls. It works better than I expected. I recently replaced my 16' uninsulated overhead door with a 2" thick R13 door...
This statement could apply to many established manufactures in many industries in our current economy. I wish them well.
I just called the customer support number posted for Steel City and it was answered right away. I was assured by the woman who answered the phone that they are still in business contrary to the...
I am somewhere between a novice to intermediate level woodworker.
I primarily build small furniture projects and do furniture repair.
I work out a 2 car garage that is also used for storage...
If he is going to be carrying it around a lot I would recommend something with a 13-14" screen. Much lighter and better battery life. You still get a full size keyboard. After using a 12" for a...

Nice looking Britt.

I have always used a scoring tool available in the tile tool area of the big box stores. It is the same tool you use for concrete backer board. It has a small carbide tip like the tip on a circular...
I have the Ridgid and i"m quite satisfied with it. They are being sold for around $325 at the local Home Depots. When I was shopping for mine I compared it to an open stand Delta. If they were the...
One sure fire way to find a used piece of equipment is to buy a new one. Used ones will be popping up all around you after that.
For a cooling rack, I would probably leave it unfinished. I would not want to risk the finish being heated up an absorbed into the food.
If I felt it necessary to stain the wood I might try a...
I have two Lenox bimetal blades that I use on an 18" bandsaw. A 1/2" 3TPI which i normally keep on the saw, this is my general purpose/resaw blade. A 1/4" 6TPI that I use for tighter curves and...
A lot of people seem to be getting 10% off coupons in the mail lately. Maybe it's a local thing.
A sure fire way for something to go on sale is to wait about a month after I buy one.

I have some of the older made in the USA Porter Cable tools. A corded drill, jigsaw and a couple of 690 routers. These are great tools. I purchased them from a tool supply house before the BORG days....
So, is Woodcraft a BORG? Green BORG?:confused:
I hope we don't start seeing a lot more of these closing around the country. I know a lot of my tool/project money is going in the gas tank and towards other necessary things that have been going up...
Can't think of anything. Mine is perfect as it is. :D
I just completed this woodcarving knife. The blade is 1 1/2" long and was made from a piece old industrial bandsaw blade which is about 10" wide. The handle is from a peach tree trimming I have had...
I have a Porter Cable jigsaw that is probably 15 years old. Mine is the fixed base model. On this saw you can use other type blades by removing and flipping over the piece that holds the blade in. ...
I have several of these, regular and deep, which i built a cabinet for and fitted them on shelves so that they pull out like drawers. I like how you can remove the individual compartment and take it...
