I use a straight bit on a router set slightly above the surface to trim off the top of plugs. Then you only have to sand a few thousandths off. This seems to work better for me. I have tried the...

Does anybody have any experience with this unit: http://www.homedepot.com/Paint-Paint-Sprayers/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5Zarv5/R-202019771/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

I had a similar situation with a beam that would have been impossible to replace. Structurally, it was still sound, but there was some water damage and rot from a leak in some window trim. I used...

I like this place in Poulsbo: http://www.dscindustrial.com/ It is just a few miles north of Bremerton. They have lightened my wallet a few times......

Once again a thank you to SMC for great info and here is a brief review. I just received my 3M 7500 respirator and put it to work doing sheetrock sanding (YUK!:(). I do have a sheetrock sanding vac...

This is incredible.... I started this thread this morning before I had to head to a couple of meetings, thinking I might get 1 or 2 responses...... Instead I get 11.:) Wow, what a great resource SMC...

I have always had an issue with masks and eye protection, especially now that I need readers to see the tape measure....:( If I wear a paper mask, my glasses fog up like crazy. So, I usually have to...

I did it a few years ago. It does dull blades fast, but for me, it was worth it. I think it was the pine more than the paint that dulled the blades because of all the pitch in the wood. The blades...

Ken,
My favorite "blind nailing" story is when I did a small addition to our second story bedroom. There was a unique area that I had to fasten a ceiling joist to a rafter and plate. I had to lay on...

Robert,
No offense taken..... and yes.... I don't think that a bunch of 15 gauge nails can take the place of a properly placed galvanized 10d casing nail. I guess I'm gonna have to go find my nail...

Ken,
Thank you for your response. Quite honestly I am not sitting here with hurt feelings by Roberts comments. It really is a great debate that has been visited many times at SMC. I did find it kind...

Whew.... I didn't think I would get bashed in the power tool forum for using a nail gun :confused:..... I built my home and cabinets all by hand. I have hand set way more nails than I have shot. Now...

I have a framing nailer, 15 gauge finish nailer, 16 gauge finish nailer and an 18 gauge finish nailer. It seems there is a nailer for all applications. I seldom use my hammer..... and my arthritic...

Will,
I have the Turbo II with the 1 micron filter. My opinion is that it is a different animal.... It really is not made to clean a shop floor or do any serious "sucking". It does not have the...

I use the AO Worktunes headset and while they work well for noise protection and sound pretty good, they are a PITA to tune in to a station. Strong recommendation to get digital tuning....

Lance,
Wow.... Great stuff. Thanks for some great ideas. Those are beautiful. Now I just have to find some shop time..... because I know I'll have to make a few practice ones to get the hang of...

Walt,
Thanks for the picture frame idea. We have a neighbor that does black ink sketchs that are incredible. I think I will get a picture to him and get a nice artistic sketch of the tree next to...

This past spring we had to take down a huge western red cedar that was next to our home ( close to 100ft tall and 52" diameter). It was not healthy and it was a danger to our home. Unfortunately...

Lee,
I have done a fair amount of this in my home. The blind nails really have more holding power in sheetrock than you would think. They are going in at a 45 degree angle work similar to a...

Thanks Stepen and Rod. I just called them and placed an order. They were "reasonably" helpful. She kept wanting me to be very specific as to my needs and the reality is I have a current project I am...

I just picked up a Grizzly G0513X2 a couple weeks ago (15% MS Cashback and Free Shipping.... mini gloat :) ) and finally got the time to get it set up. I got the HTC2000 mobile base and it is...

Bob,
I had a '77 Craftsman saw that I rebuilt twice and after it broke the third time I decided to step up to a cabinet saw. I bought a Grizzly 1023SL about 5 years ago and have not missed the old...

First, I am going to try to find my workbench.... it's gotta be under all the stuff somewhere. Then I'm gonna try to find the floor. That's gotta be somewhere under where the workbench should...

Ken,
I have been in the retail grocery industry long enough to remember when the butchers used to cut all the chicken on a band saw in the store. That video is "childs play" compared to what those...
