Fred,

I am thinking about getting the same 2hp Collector.

How do you have it wired? On its own 20amp circuit? My only hold back on buying it right now is that my shop is so woefully...

Virginia seems to be the one corner of the country that did not get any precipitation (or cold weather) this weekend. Plus we were all walking around in shirt sleeves.

As for the shop, I got more...

Does anyone know where I could get my hands on a 15% or 20% off coupon?HF has the 2HP dust collector on sale again, and if I can get the additional deduction, that would be a sweet deal!

I'll start the weekend off with the usual Saturday morning ritual of whipping up buttermilk pancakes from scratch for the family. Then my oldest son and I will head to the BORG for the monthly Kid's...

Since my parents live in Williamsburg, and loml and I both went to William & Mary, we try to make it down there a couple times a year for the free babysitting.

Of course, loml usually drags me...

Was able to finally start putting together a dado cutting jig that I have wanted to build, hope to finish it up later this week. My goal for January is to bang out 2 or 3 jigs that I know whill help...

Welcome, Larry,

I am more than a little jealous of you being able to enjoy New Year's Eve with a new toy. I myself am glued to the computer trying to make sure I have finished enough Continuing...

IIRC, The "Save" feature means that NF does not current have the movie in its library. However, by saving it in your Queue, you are indicating that you would like it if it ever is added to the...

Anyone know a good place to find large boards of Baltic Birch plywood in Central Virginia (Lynchburg)?

I can get smaller boards (12" x 24") at the local Michaels, or an hour trip to Roanoke will...

Great job!

As someone who does quite a bit of work on a laptop from home, you have my creative juices flowing...

I may just have to take a stab at making one like it. Any hints/lessons...

My wife has convinced me that we need to go down to visit my parents in Williamsburg. Even though she gets along with them just fine, I have a feeling that she has something else in mind...

You...

Actually a pretty good weekend, overall...

The gift card from the May HD Power Tool promotion (finally) arrived, so I headed off to the borg with my son in tow to pick up the Freud Stacked Dado...

Seeing as it is my son's 5th birthday this weekend (my how time flies!) I doubt I will get a lot of time in the shop. My parent's are coming down tomorrow afternoon and will stay through the rest of...

I made great progress on assembling and adjusting my table saw this weekend. Hopefully after I mow the lawn tonight I will be able to finish adjusting, attach the motor, and fire her up!

I also...

I am about halfway through with assembling my TS3650. Hopefully I will be able to knock that out on Saturday. After that I will work on getting my shop organized so that I can fire it up.

As a relative newcomer to the hobby, one thing that I think feeds into the 'gotta have it" mentality with respect to tools is the way many articles (and television shows) concerning woodworking are...

We are supposed to have a neighborhood yardsale tomorrow a.m., but the weather is looking like that will be a washout. The in-laws are having a big Kentucky Derby party Saturday afternoon/evening, so...

That is a wonderful piece. Surely it will be a cherished heirloom for generations to come.

I only hope that someday I will have the talent (and patience) to produce a piece that is half as...

Congratulations to Mike and Wolf!

Spend it wisely!!!

OK. As promised, here are some pics of my latest (and first) project in use...

Since most store bought sandboxes are too small to comfortably accomodate 4 children, our family was in need of a...

Mark, this is an extremely generous offer.

I know from my relatively short time on this board, that there is a wealth of knowledge to be found. I have (finally) found a hobby that I am excited...

Lets see, where to begin...

Well, I started off the morning shovelling 1500 lbs of play sand into the new sandbox I built. (Pics to follow in a separate post). After basking in the glory of...
