It appears to be a model 93. It has the square table and is a two speed. The crank can be moved forward to the shaft with the larger gear. Both turn the same mechanism but of course at different...

Baird Brothers in Canfield OH? They're not a mom/pop size mill but there's no middleman and they put out high quality lumber products.

I have a similar shop that is 40x64x16 and also insulated. However, the concrete pad has a vapor barrier underneath so I don't seem to get much, if any, moisture up through the concrete. I also don't...

That should be nice. The white should reflect the light real well, not that you'll have any lighting issues anyway.

It's coming along real well. Fun to watch.

Hey Mike, can you hurry up and get the electrical done? I want to see some of that slat wall up.

Just kidding of course. I started my shop several years ago and you'll probably surpass me before...

John,
I did a quick experiment with it. I had my 4" flexible hose not connected to anything and started it up. Once it was up to speed I slid it on the connector for my router table which has...

John,

I've connected it to my router table which has a 2" port to which I've attached a 4" to 2" reducer. I then attach a 4" flexible hose that I can move around wherever I need it. I've also...

Interesting. I have the 3 hp Smart DC and installed it on a dedicated 20 amp circuit since I guess I did not see the 30 amp recommendation. I looked at the amp draw specs on the motor and also the...

+1 on the leaks. I tested mine and it leaked from then on so I had to replace it.

So if you have to replace it after testing, how does one know the new one will work if needs to? Can't test it...

Just catching up on this but thought I'd post what Waterlox says in their FAQ about using MS for thinning or even wiping in case others run into similar problems.

Do NOT thin, mix, clean brushes...

Hi Yoshii-san,

You have some very interesting creations that must take a long time to make. Nicely done. I was especially intrigued by the Temple Bell. That's a very creative way to make a wooden...

McMaster-Carr always seems to have the stuff I'm looking for.

ezwoodshop.com makes a telescoping story stick that I think fits your description. I have one and it works pretty well.

Tough choice. Assuming the decision would be at the height of their careers I'd go with Wilt, a scoring and rebounding machine.

I switched to Mac at home about 5 or 6 years ago. I don't regret it and so glad I did it. It's the simplicity factor. Yes you can get Linux and find lower cost alternatives. You pay more for a Mac...

Mike,
I have a couple of those in my shop and they light it up really well. That was a good find.

i had to replace a bulb in one of mine recently and in the process learned a bit about metal...

I like oak, especially rift and quartersawn. I generally don't like a lot of the rotary cut veneer that ends up with unnatural looking grain patterns. It seems oak cabinets can range from gorgeous to...

Last year we had a squirrel hanging out near my son's Jeep. I think he was licking road salt or something underneath. He also chewed the gas line. We didn't know it until my son drove his Jeep to...

Great to see USA start out with a win and a good deal for US soccer in general.

+1 for the corner kick. Brooks gets all the credit but what a great kick by Zusi to lay it in there.

Well, if the first match is any indication it will be Brazil. Not because they played well, but because the refs appear afraid to make calls against them for fear of the hometown crowd.

I built one almost exactly the same size - 40 x 64 x 16 1/2. I have a mezzanine along one side and the end. The mezzanine comes in 12' from the outside walls. That added an additional 1100 sq ft of...

Last year I bought a Gorilla Garden Cart. For the money ($129) it's been a great cart. It's poly not metal but pretty tough. Hold 12 cu ft and up to 1200 lbs. I've had it loaded to almost overflowing...

I have a Minnesota shop much like Jim L's. 40x64x16 pole building with fiberglass insulated walls, steel on the interior walls and ceiling with blown insulation in the ceiling. I heat it with propane...

For the plywood question you can look up "plywood deflection" and get a lot of info on how to calculate sagging and so on. There's a cool tool called the sagulator at the following web site that...

Try a search for ladder feet. Here's one I found.
