Did you read the post that I quoted?

The best thing about SMC is the fact that it is not okay to call moderators derogatory names. They flat out won't allow that kind of free discussion about other forums over there.

Has anyone mentioned starting your own business and being self-employed? I am self-employed and plan to be at the same job as long as I want. The only drawback is that my boss is a jerk.

I apologize for the fact that this post has nothing to do with anything pertaining to the original question. I just wanted to disagree with the statement made about stock prices. I don't think the...

The recent post about how much cleaning is recommended for planes got me to thinking. I just bought a Stanley No. 11 1/2 floor plane at an auction. I bought the plane with the thought that I would...

This reminds me....I need to take my AC down for the year. It was 15 degrees here this morning. :(

My raised panel set has a backcutter and I make multiple passes all of the time. Just move the fence instead of raising the cutter for each pass.

John, I swear that I have seen a table very similar to yours advertised in a magazine. I can't remember the magazine or the designer at the moment and it is driving me crazy. Please tell me that I am...

Add another vote for Global Tooling. Very good knives for less than it would cost me to get mine sharpened.

Welcome aboard. It is always good to see a fellow Idahoan around here.

I know it seems wasteful to throw away your old knives, but I have found that I can buy new ones cheaper. It will cost somewhere around $1/inch to have knives sharpened and unless you find someone...

Keith,

I don't mean to be argumentative, but it seems like there is a lot more urban legend at work with this topic than actual facts. After an admittedly quick Google search, I was unable to find...

I am not sure if you are serious or not, but I hear comments like this about compressed air quite often. For example, guys will worry that their compressor tanks might explode if they see a little...

I will cast my vote for the Makita miter saws. I currently have the LS1212 and it has been a great saw. It was dead on accurate out of the box and has stayed that way. As an added bonus the Makita...

I just noticed that he is only 45 miles away from me. If I get the chance I might give him a call and see if I can take a field trip. Personally I get too attached to my projects and I end up...

I didn't have much luck finding suitable vinyl cement in my area. The only cement that I found was in the small squeeze tubes and used for repairing float tubes. It would have taken several of the...

I made a 4x8 bag for around $30. If you go to the fabric section of Walmart they sell 54" heavy gauge vinyl for around $3 a yard. I bought the cement from Joewoodworker and have enough left over that...

Steve,

I understand you point and I agree that manufacturers like to put "Tung Oil" on their labels to help sell product. However, I do disagree with your claim that a product can be made from...

I like the results I get from Formby's so I am not too concerned about the ingredients in the can. However, the can on the desk next to me says, "Formby's Tung Oil Finish is a high-quality varnish...

When using the brass inserts I like to drive them in from the "bottom" side of the board whenever possible. This leaves the "show" side undisturbed and a lot cleaner looking. When doing this I will...

I also sort by price, that way the junk pretty much ends up at the bottom of the list. I normally use ebay to get a look at what is available and get an idea of the market prices for used tools. When...

Thanks for all of the information and suggestions. It looks like the Pocket PC versions might be more flexible. I will have to do some more investigating and see what is available. I have a...

I am planning to get my wife a PDA for Christmas. I am a bit of a computer geek myself, but I have never even used a PDA. The first thing I noticed when I started looking is that they come in two...

Holy cow....either I am a very slow typist or you guys are really fast. Either that or I didn't notice Page 2. :o

I believe the term "Black Friday" comes from the idea that retailers traditionally have counted on the big shopping weekend to put them "in the black" financially. In other words it takes them most...
