Thanks guys. I've added blocking fOr behind the moulding to give the nails something to bite into

I'm going to hang some 3.5"crown molding and have never done so before. What would you use in the way of nails for a pneumatic nailer; I was thinking 2-2.50" 15G?

What do the finish carpenters out...

Hi Brian,

I don't know if you've purchased a saw yet but here is what my experience has been. The first saw I bought was a Stihl MS250 w/16 inch bar and I loved it. It did everything I asked it...

Hi All,
I am ready to start finish carpentry on our renovated bathroom. The room is small with about 5'x7' of floor space with 7' ceilings not including the tiled tub area. My wife and I would like...

I've horsed around cutting DT's in 8/4 material on the bandsaw with sucess.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info. My wife and I usually stay in Fairlee when we are in Vt and have been to the Shackleton Furniture shop before; very nice folks. The institute of natural science...

I'm headed to Ludlow Vermont the last week in July. My wife is taking a split oak basket class and I was wondering if there was anything that you knew of in terms of wood working or turning in that...

I played hooky from work on Monday to do a lumber run and one of the places that I have had never been to before had some burls that I was immediately bitten by. Since I have never turned burls I...

Hey Mike, I still believe in using iodine on cuts too:rolleyes:

Does anyone know of a vendor that sells blow guns for aircompressors that are not limited to 30psi?

Thanks in advance

Oh if you are in Lincolnville you have to visit Jim Brown. They have beautiful furniture are great to talk with and when you see the shop it is built in you may quickly rethink the "I need more room...

Hey Mike,

Milling them the way I do "normal" rough lumber is an equipment issue. I only have a little lunch-box and do not think it will be capable of feeding a 6"x6"x12';)

I am planning to build a pergola this summer. The drawings I have rendered (yes, I am probably the one person left that does not know how to use sketch-up) have lead me to use 6x6 for the posts. A...

Duncan,

I have found great looking maple here http://www.goosebaylumber.com/, although it is a bit of a drive from Bangor.

I get mine from either VWR or Sigma-Aldrich. It works well on restoring planes too.

I had one from the manufacturer called powertank http://www.powertank.com/products/sfID1/13 for my jeep when I used to go offroad for filling the tires and it worked well though I never used it for...

Hi Donn,

Watchout, my wife gave me a lathe last Easter and now asks constantly for turned items;) Now that she has seen how much money is spent on tools and accesories she might have thought...

Hi Albert,

I have posted a few links you might enjoy. I also found that adding a thicker aftermarket iron (the pick is yours; Hock, Lie-Nielsen, Lee Valley, Clifton...) made a world of...

Steve, thanks for the reference. Are you referring to the 4-in-1? I was hoping to find some individual shafts. I know some use 6" drill bits but I have not found any that are magnetized.

I have the same grinder and found the same situation occurring after I dressed the wheels. Try taking the wheels off and turning the grinder on to make sure it runs smoothly. If it doesn't the...

Congratulations on the new toys (um I mean tools). Watch out though, my wife did the same thing to me last Easter and has a been pushy about getting bowls for friends and family:p
