sounds good, thanks. I will pick some Acetone up for its quick evap. time.

Hi, it has been a while since my last post. Recently I glued up a whole bunch of material all at once for a table base. (39 individual joints, 8 mortise and tenon, the rest half-lap) I used some...

cased openings for a hotel project. One inch too short on one side when it came time to level and install, then there was the next one, same mistake... Talk about embarrassing.

I'd likely go with putting a ball tip from a dremel in the drill press chuck, and for holding the die blank, I would take some plywood, about a foot square, and cut the dimension of the die from the...

I was mainly referring to the appearance of it. With proper glue up, laminated legs should work as good, possibly better than solid as far as stability is concerned. What I mean is, you would see...

I have used oak flooring for small pieces. I wouldn't suggest laminating them for legs though. IN regards to the top, I might try leaving the toungue and groove, it would really make the top strong...

HA! that candy bar thing made me remember something. Earlier this year while doing a big job, I was consuming a snickers bar every day to keep up energy levels, I would eat half at one time, and...

you won't go wrong with the bosch. Just keep it cool, taking breaks. I tend to guide with my left hand on the head and it gets pretty hot after a while. It will go real nicely up to 4/4 in some...

Reading these posts really gets me thinking about how dangerous I am in the shop. I make these cuts frequently. Using an old craftsman contractor TS, I built a zero clearance out of plexi that had...

Build four wine racks, train the puppy, lay out a truckload of shredded brush between the raised beds to cut down on weeds, have a fun rednecky cookout and possibly take the new dog on a canoe trip...

Well I will be out in the shop today, cleaning it up and getting ready for the next project. As I write this, I determined it will be another set of patio furniture. Looking on and hopefully...

Never really had that problem. Even some cans with a buildup I have usually succumb to a few choice taps with a deadblow. But to reduce the build up, I simply run my brush around the rim, angling it...

having put peppers and tomatos in the ground on wednesday without checking the weather, I spent the better part of saturday tucking them all in for a frost warning saturday night. Guess that is life...

For just about any given tool, I have accumulated multiple. I think I have around twenty types of hammers. My best tools, or the most frequently used of a certain tool, will go on the wall. The...

from my experience (varied but not substantial) you must choose a high grade laminate or snap floor. Always make sure the sub-floor is solid, and use a foam underlayment. Problems come when you...

scratch the laminate some more. Then use contact adhesive. use dowels under the layup to get the positioning perfect.

indeed... I upgraded from a skil to a bosch several years ago. WHat was a tool I rarely used now is a staple in my shop. But as it happened today, and usually every time I use it, even the bosch...

I think you are right Dave. I am in my early thirties and haven't had an event like the type I described in the original post since my twenties. I think it is growing up, but in reality, it is me...

IT's okay Kevin, I wouldn't want to marry you either, (not my type). But seriously, my temper is admittedly an embarrassment, but to the day has caused nobody physical harm, except myself. I won't...

It has been a long time since I have done this, but years ago when I would mess up something due to haste or improper engineering, or improper tool use, broken band saw blade, whatever I was working...

I have no idea about glues, really. So take this as an ignorant suggestion, but I dont think silicone is heat sensitive as much, and once that stuff grabs its over. Takes all night to do so though. ...

turns out, I was actually dreaming according to LOML. SHe said I rolled into a ball while asleep and uttered "millipede, millipede, millipede" over and over again. Guess I should have realized it...

I will be applying a few more coats to some more candle holders and wine racks, as well as setting up a "store in a store" in town. There we will have these, but also a good selection of LOML's palm...

might one be able to put a flexeel on a retractor reel?

ha! yeah thats a millipede, an African Millipede (im not making this up), but around here they only grow an inch or so.
