I know this isn't exactly what you might want, but remember if you want a taller drill press floor model vs bench top alot of companys I notice use standard pipe for the upright pole. I have...

Well now that I understand the sap and heartwood difference I think I will try to steam some of my walking sticks first and see how that goes. Should be fairly easy I already have a ten foot 6"...

I am not new to turning and carving, however I am new to fresh fallen lumber. A friend of mine recently lost three large walnut trees to a wind storm. Score for me :D I took the root balls (whole...

Use the contact Cement. I've used it for quite a few bench tops and it works great, just remember to be well ventilated as the fumes are very strong. If you have never used it search for a how to and...

Some types of VFDs change frquency and voltage.

If it is a good variable speed drill press in my opinion it should have a mechanical clutch which is basically a pulley that opens up or closes on the belt (like a snowmobile) to allow the belt to be...

Seeing as it won't make it through a 4x4 I'll have to pass. I cut to many thick pieces (3"+) to have to be flipping pieces over. I have the room to mount it permanently too, oh well.

How do you get the nailer to "reset" to drive the first one? Could the row of brads be holding it down? I am unfimiliar with that particular nailer but I have seen where the strip of nails was...

Thanks Bill, Question for you I was just trying to find the specs on it because I was curious what the thickest piece of material you can cut is? I remember the motor on the right side and was...

I was contimplating buying either a ten or twelve inch sliding compound miter saw or a radial arm saw. I had the option of using both these while in High School it was pretty convient. I just found a...

I was just curious on what exactly this was so I googled it. The first site that came up I clicked on and they were selling their kits for 450 not sure if this is a good deal, but maybe.

Thanks for all the help guys, I think I'm going to start out with the 8 inch grinder at 1725rpm and I believe I can make my own sharpening fixture like the wolverine. I have two months left before...

Once again I was checking craigslist for my elusive TS when I found a Shopsmith Mark 5. Now I have absolutely no knowledge on these machines. They only thing I know is the images I googled to see...

Besides a very old bench grinder with only one very old wheel, I have no sharpening equipment and am looking to buy. I have some ideas I would like to run by you guys and gals and see what input you...

Just so we're clear I don't plan on buying it, just curious how old you guys think it might be.

While checking CL this morning looking for that elusive table saw I need. ;) I found this one and was curious what you guys thought of the age/value it might have. Of course I had the disappointment...

I have Lexan panels in all my cabinet doors. The frames are all built with extruded aluminum and i've had various tools :mad: thrown at at least two of the lower ones and they just bounce right off....

Anyone know where to get the glass section to make your own hourglass? I know Rockler has one but I am looking for something bigger. I'd like it last at least an hour, and be at least 18" tall x 6"...

They will most likely work Dan, the one thing you should look at though is the cfm the tool requires to produce it's full torque rating. For one you will never see the full torque rating, and...

These wooden coolers are often refered to as cowboy coolers. If you search under that title you will find quite a few variations. I think I had even seen a liner available at one site can't remember...

Thanks a lot for the info Leo. Even though these will be decorative I always enjoy doing things as authentic as I can. I enjoy working with both metal and wood so that was my primary reason on giving...

I like original idea the best. Thanks Kim think I will try it just like you said.

Yeah but the hub also has two rings on each side that are shrunk on so I would assume when the hub dries it could shrink a little and the rings could loosen up.

I had a Milwaukee port-a-band, borrowed it to a friend who was building a race truck and needed to cut roll cage tubing. He ended up running it over and like the good friend he "was" :mad: replaced...

Curt your link does not seem to have showed up. I am only taking on the wheel challenge, not going for a full wagon. (yet anyway)
