All great tips. Thanks!

I do have a zero clearance insert in. Outfeed table has a little more drop than I'd like (a little more than 1/4") but had to make something quick for a project with a...

Thanks everyone for the replies!

To everyone saying alignment issues, minus having super expensive calibration tools, everything is parallel and in alignment. I've triple checked. It's my...

Fence is parallel, blade is straight. Haven’t adjusted fence height. Also cleaned the table and waxed it after the first few rips, definitely easier after.

I think it’s mainly in technique which...

Still working on running long pieces as well as sheets through the table saw completely straight. I get a little wiggle as it goes through. As you can see in the pic, still practicing and learning as...

Thank you everyone for the continued responses. Had a lead on a PM 66 locally that I was too slow to come up with the cash for but a barely used Shop Fox W1888 came up near me for $900 with a 2 HP...

I have 60 Amps, 240 V running to a subpanel in my garage. I don’t know anything really about electrical service, I’m comfortable putting in outlets and switches, that’s about it. A pro will be doing...

Just double checked and I misspoke. The contractor is indeed the one I was looking at, I called it a hybrid because my mind was on the similar looking Grizzly G0692.

Wow, thank you everyone for...

I’m selling off some work equipment to clear up some space and pay for new tools. I’m a DIY hobbyist, probably not going to be turning woodworking into a career at any point, so I’m not going all in....

Welp, the markers did exactly what I thought it would, it looks like marker. Gonna have to strip it down.

Trying to find the best way to strip it down while keeping in mind that it's plywood...

Yeah, I sanded way too much at the start, so there's a solid chance of going through the veneer. Good excuse to take a trip to the lumberyard for some 8/4 red oak to properly make the table and delay...

Thanks for the input! Yeah, edges were my nemesis for sure.



Good call with trying the touch up anyways since the real solution is to go back to square one.

Was at the shop the other day and...

Still trying to get this coffee table finished. I ended up using a coat of Old Masters American Walnut wiping stain after the grain filler and conditioner followed by two coats of OM Espresso gel...

This is awesome, and great knowledge for the next project as I would love to properly use Rubio for it's ease (once you have the proper technique...).

I ended up going with a combination of wiping...

Welp, that would definitely explain it. I had searched on here and found a few threads about using Aquacoat under the Rubio and went for it. The science behind it does make more sense with what...

Decided to try out Rubio Monocoat for a new coffee table top because a single coat sounded great. New top is two pieces of 3/4 red oak plywood glued together and edge banded. Thankfully, decided to...

The office is also an additional spare room. 24" depth is the max to still accommodate a full size blow up mattress.



Great idea. Thanks!

Spoke with the boss (wife) and since the original floating idea was my own and we really don't want to cut up the walls that much I'm going to look into a combination of what you linked supporting...

For lighter things like mirrors and small shelves, self drilling are super simple. I found that pre-drilling (or punching a hole with something) a hole helped with getting them in the right spot.
...

Yeah, I was looking into countertop brackets. This is what I was looking at, do they seem right? https://ironsupports.com/products/floating-countertop-wall-bracket



I haven't done strapping...

Hi all! Thank you again for all of the help so far with my projects. You have all been a great resource and super knowledgable.

My next project is going to be an office desk and my biggest concern...

I’m still in the early phases of getting tools. Just had my first project where all I had to buy was lumber a few weeks ago and she’s beginning to see the light of actually having the tools.
...

Amazing. Thank you all for all the responses and tips!

The wife is getting impatient and doesn’t understand that it takes time to get something that looks nice ;)

With that in mind, I’m gonna...

Hello!

I tried searching and found a lot of great and helpful info for cutting dados into plywood. But I'm still at a loss for one question.

I'm building a closet storage system and I'm going...

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation!

Yeah, looking back I should have done nails. First larger indoor project. Live and learn!
