I watched this video about installing cabinets and saw him use a magnetic-style finder. It is at the 6:50 mark of this video...
Hi Bob,
I don't know you and I'm probably missing your sense of humor, but the last sentence in your post appears to indicate your planer was fine and you're swindling Amazon out of shipping...
I'm probably the exception here, but I used the 1/2" pre-finished drawer sides with pre-finished plywood for the bottoms. I also made blind DTs for front and back. Use of sacrificial boards when...
I also recommend the Sommerfeld bits. He has an interesting strategy of matched bit length - you cut the rails and stiles without changing the router depth. As Sal mentioned, Marc hits the...
If resale is an issue for you, I'd go with the Festool. They rarely go on sale so you're likely to get a good price if/when you decide to sell. I'm not sure the Makita would hold its resale value...
Target will now tint their topcoats to match any Benjamin Moore color. I couldn't find the link on their user forum, but if you call them they will explain how it works.

Hi Joe,
I went the path of a lot of folks here, starting with an 8" jointer (Jet) and 12" 'lunch box' planer (Dewalt). Like many people, I ended up selling them both and upgrading. I decided on...
Thanks for the feedback. After looking around, I don't think there is a clear consensus whether the floor or cabinets should go in first. If you go to the installation KB at Woodweb, there is a...
I am coming down the home stretch on replacing my kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are built and stained/topcoated, and demolition will start right after Thanksgiving.
My question is on replacing...
Here is my outfeed table on my SS. As others have mentioned, I have a fixed component that is about 12 inches deep. The part that folds down is the exact height of the drop, so it helps maintain...
I used electronic gates that turn on the cyclone when I open them. I think I got them from Grizzly.
I have been happy with the solution.

I think the best source for all bandsaw accessories is Iturra Design. They don't have a web site, but if you do a search on the company name you will find several sites that allow you download the...
Thanks for the tips.
I have switched to the 1.4 mm tip on my Fuji gravity gun for the topcoat material (I had been using the 1.0 mm tip for the shellac washcoat and WB-stain from Targetcoatings)....
I am using Targetcoatings 8000cv. They recommend coats of 2-3 mil on a horizontal surface.
I don't have a thickness gauge. I think I have been applying too thin of a coat, as it starts to dry...
Do folks here worry about removing the sharp edge on doors and drawers when finishing kitchen cabinets? FWW had an article (mostly having to do with looking better) and finishers say it helps the...
Sorry, but I have to ask. Are we looking at a two story, six car garage here?
I agree with Richard that they are too difficult to use due to the changing denominator in the fraction. Doing the math between 8ths, 16ths, 32nds, 64ths and 128ths introduces too many opportunities...
I have had similar experience to Matt gluing face-frames with pocket screws. I had to replace a couple of rails, and when knocking it apart the wood on the stiles splintered. I ended up having to...
The cost of concrete is worth mentioning. The cement pad cost more ($7K) than all of the raw materials for the rest of the shop. I was shocked.

If you live in a city you'll have 'green-space' requirements, i.e. you can't have a building take up your entire backyard. Every city will vary. I could have gone a little bigger, but for aesthetic...
I don't think you can build any legal/permanent structure (with permits) for less than $15K by the time you get it ready for move-in. I spent more than that, but I'm in Northern California so my...
I use these #7's from A&H Turf: http://ahturf.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&manufacturer_id=531&product_id=6434

Regardless of what you buy, I recommend you check out the Smart Table Top Kit from EZ. For $70 and some scrap wood you have a nice expandable support system that can sit on top of any table or...
