    I did not put a clear coat on top. I just tossed the flakes, which happens to be the funnest part of the install. After a while you can get pretty creative on how you toss the flakes. They settle...

    I used the regular Garage Flooring, not the "professional". The regular Garage Floor Coating is water-based and I felt comfortable using it inside my basement. The Professional Floor Coating is...

    Like you, I got tired of the concrete grit and dust on my basement shop floor. About 5 years ago, I covered it with Rustoleum EpoxyShield Garage Floor Coating and it's been one of the best...

    I've had the Rikon BS for several years now and really like it. I use it to saw large logs and resaw boards without any problems. I moved it into my basement shop by myself (going uphill might be a...

    Hi Jeff,

    I used the Rustoleum Garage Floor EpoxyShield kit and love the results. Most of the work was in the prep and it sounds like that should be easier for you with a new floor. I mixed in the...

    Riving knife a necessity

    Whatever saw you decide on, put safety first and make sure it has a riving knife. Sounds like you are looking for something better than my entry level Ridgid R4511, which I love. For its class, I...

    Hi Joshua,

    Interesting thread. I'm a beginning woodworker who, like you, got started by turning (also relatively new at that). My Jet 1642 EVS 2 HP lathe was my first piece of equipment. I soon...

    Maybe I'm thicker skinned, but the DVD mailing didn't bother me in the slightest. I get junk mail every day. I already knew that anything sent to me without my request was free for me to keep. Their...
  12. Recommendations on my green ash wood?

    Yesterday I had a large Ash tree taken down due to Emerald Ash Borer disease. Being a new woodworker and turner, I had them leave some wood so I could attempt to make some of my own lumber and also...

    There are the high end vacs such as the Festool and Fein. I've heard these are great but are pricey. I have the Ridgid WD1851 and love it. I think it's the best of the "lower tier" shop vacs. Home...
  14. Recommended skill progression for new turner?

    Hi all,

    I'm new to turning. After taking two week long courses at John C. Campbell, I decided this was addicting and bought a nice Jet 1642 EVS-2. I now have more time to devote to this hobby and...

    That is correct. As long as there is a load (motor, light, etc.) connecting the black ('hot') wire and white ('neutral') wire, or the two black wires in the case of 240 volts, there is current...

    Hi Terry,

    Actually, John beat me to this answer and did a better job at it anyway. I'll post mine anyway so you can read the same thing in different words.

    In 120 volt AC circuits, the current...

    I am assuming that the popular saws in this price range all have close to no axial play in the arbor. This would include the Makita 5007 MGA, Milwaukee 6394-21, Porter Cable 325MAG, and the DeWalts...
  18. Circular saw where base edge can be adjusted parallel with blade

    I'm thinking of buying a new circular saw for edge guided sheet cutting. My 25 year old inexpensive Craftsman just doesn't "cut it" when trying to make straight lines. In one article I read, it was...

    From what I read when I was researching my electrical setup, you generally install all your conduit first, then pull the wires after. I think the NEC even specifies this so as to avoid any damage to...

    I agree with you. If the window bottoms are at 48 inches, I'd also do separate drops for each location just to keep the outlets above any carts, etc. The other advantage of separate drops is that...
