So I've accumulated enough specific tools to warrant an official area for them. I have design in mind, but I thought I'd reach out for suggestions. I have a 24' wall to work with, and I would like to...
Thanks for input guys. I think I will go with the Accurides. $10.75 plus S&H at LV. The idea of a soft close sounded nice initally, but actually not for what I will be using it for. And I've...
Hi Everyone,
I have one drawer on the to-do list, but I don't know what kind of slides to buy. Weight will not be an issue. At most the drawer, with contents, will weigh approx. 10lbs. Due to the...
The new sketch should explain everything a little better. The dotted lines are wires I have yet to run. The wire to the porch lights and floodlights will be easy since the drywall is off the walls....
Okay, so I just put up drywall over the fixture and I would really hate to have to take the full sheet down.
You see the cable that runs power to the next room? Can I run an additional 14-2 from...
If the power for a light fixture is coming directly into the ceiling box, and I have one (1) 14-2 wire running from the light fixture to the switch, I can't run additional switched light fixtures off...
Yeah, rock-n-roll for sure. I was just at work and in a hurry. Chicago is one of my most favorite bands!! I charted lots of their music for the identical three piece section I had in a party band....
I started playing the trumpet at 8, finished high school early, started a bachelor of music at Oberlin Conservatory in Ohio when I was 14, then moved to NYC after graduation. I recieved my Master's...
I have wanted exactly this, a portable, bare bones table. It's the design I've been tossing around in my head for a while now.
I've never owned a table before, and my only question is where do...
Dimensioned lumber, huh? That's what I was afraid of. That's going to make the selection go down and the price go up. Not so bad on furniture work, but larger jobs such as trim work it will really...
I have started the search for hardwood suppliers in my area, and that is when I realized I do not know much about lumber cuts and sizing. I have found the differences between roughsawn and...
When I say "load-bearing wall" I use that term loosely. Based upon the configuration of the room, the location of the wall in relation to the two rooms, and the construction of the previous wall,...
But all of the columns I am finding, including websites, are 8' or taller. I need something closer to 3 feet.
In the process of a living room remodel I have removed a load bearing wall to open up between dining room and living room. I have it supported with temporary braces for the time being, and...
Ironically enough considering the subject on this thread lately, a subcontractor's employee was electrocuted yesterday on one of our jobsites.
You never know when things will get you.
Thanks, everybody. Like I figured it doesn't sound that easy. I will wire it up this weekend while I am off and can cut the power.
I have been working with electrical for about 6 years, off and...
Hi everybody,
I feel comfortable wiring fixtures, and even a single switch, but I have a double switch that I need to install and really don't want to call an electrician if I can avoid it....
I am using a roundover a lot on my current project. If the bit is set too low on the workpiece it will leave an edge. Try raising the bit until you lose the edge, but not too far as you begin to...
Shouldn't this thread be over in Neanderthal ;)
I plugged in the flush-trim bit and it worked great. I tried to plug in the 1/2" roundover bit which is 1 1/2" wide and it is too big! The hole in the base that the bit plunges through will not...
Wow, I posted the question after lunch, then got caught up at work and just checked... 13 replies!!
Taking everyone into account, I think I will route before assembly, because if I screw up once...
Hey everyone,
I just bought my first router yesterday!!! Slept with it last night (it didn't toss and turn a bit), and bought my first two bits today.
My question is simple...
I am making...
Hey guys,
Can someone explain to me the difference between router bit sizes? Not the shank, but the profile, such as 1/4" roundover bit versus 3/8" roundover bit? I need a flushtrim bit, and...
Yay Mythbusters!!! I consider myself to have the sense of humor of Adam. Sarcastic with the ability to mock oneself. I can relate.
Never had the DVR. Never even thought about it. Although, I have...
