Paint brushes make great dusters..... and my shop vac is usually the blower to get the wood chips out of the shop. Easier than vacuuming them up and then emptying them into the compost.....

I have a PC jig. Correction: I HAD a PC jig. When my bit started to get loose, and I didn't realize it, I ruined the jig, and the bit. Plus, it was only 12" wide, and I had to make 12 drawers........
You know how, when you build a swing set from a kit, you always have extra parts? I don't know how many times I've made all the parts for a project, laid them out on a bench and built the...
George,
I see that you still live in Williamsburg. Do you still work for the foundation? And I'm assuming that in 1986 there was a big purge, or maybe a recession, that caused the mass layoffs. I...
Dan, no offense, man, but you gotta be kidding! This Old House magazine rates DW consistently near the top, and that is usually up against the best in the market!! I too have a multi-colored shop,...
Marty,
Send the rain to the NorthEast!! We need it bad!!
I'm truly gratified to see someone take the time and care to do things the right way, when framing, and setting up. You have...
I'll have just coffee, please. And a doughnut. None of that fancy schmancy foo foo poo poo :D . And, I'll be sending in a contribution, too. Can't think of a better way to spend my money!

First, a HUGE THANKYOU to Vaughn McMillan:cool: for the tutorial on how to resize pics for posting.
Second, and not any less important..... THE GLOAT!!:D
Last year, I was told by the LOML...
Jerry,
The sam's club mats are easiest to use, I think, because they can be re-configured for whatever area you need. I bought a pack of them last year, and have now covered my whole shop floor...
If you "talking heads" are done, then you may want to put on your "wings" to fly over the "traffic", so you can get to the store run by the "ink spots", where they sell "canned heat" as well as...
You call that chewed?!?!? That's just lightly gnawed!:D How big is your dog? I will show you some pics of what my dog, a 95 lb, black lab has done to my hammer handle..... well, I could, if the...
John,
The "Tim Allen" hammer was originally called a "California Framer". The head of the hammer was originally a rigging axe, used by boat carpenters, and someone got the wild idea to replace...
I'm sorry, John, but I think it's just too out of place in your shop. I have an empty spot in mine, though, and I could get it to blend in quite nicely!;)
Nice Addition! I'd be curious to know...
Nice toy Karl. I'm interested in what flavor bean you use to grind for you coffee with that thing?:p
Spent most of the day yesterday in the shop, playing around with some ash wood that is going to be a crib for my 1st grandson.:D Got the plans from Rockler for the heirloom crib, and have been...
Pete,
I echo the sentiments of the other guys... Thanks for showing the pics! I don't feel so bad about my mess... umm... shop, either.:rolleyes: The best part of a forced "jamming" is clearing out...
Stu,
I agree with all the afore-mentioned ideas of magazines. They would benefit by making a multi-issue story, and we would benefit by seeing it all again, and being able to keep it in our...
I'm a full time "home repair specialist". People break it, I fix it. I've been in the home building business for almost 30 years, and I'm self-employed now, going on 5 years. It's not an easy way...
There is a place right outside of Annapolis, on the road to the Bay Bridge that is very good as well. It's Exotic Lumber, on White Hall Rd. They have some of the nicest wood I've seen. I've found...
In Tokyo, they call that an earthquake..... no one pays any attention, since there are about 100 small ones everyday anyway....

Stu, I know there are some of them...
Richard, this says it best of all the posts..... And, if you're always in a hurry, you're going to miss some of the greatest, yet subtle things along the way, and you will regret it later. Take your...
Stu,
I feel for you on the noise issue. It seems that when there are a lot of people in a small area, tempers are short. I remember that the Honda company has been very successful in quieting their...
As industrious as the Japanese themselves, eh?
Stu,
What do you do for work? It sure seems like you spend most of your time in the "dungeon", and out getting wood! The dungeon sure is clean, btw.....
Do you ever get a chance to get any...
I am considering the same type of thing. But, I have a smaller shed attached to the side of my shop, so I am going to put it out there. To remove any extra dust producing machine from the mixture...
