I use a Veritas Scrub Plane from Lee Valley to do initial clean up on rough cut wood. I usually hit the board with a wire brush to do the initial cleaning and then use the scrub plane. It makes...

I've had mine several years and am very happy with it. Just make sure it is on when you switch from low to high speed.

Jim,

I haven't ordered these yet - the glass for the cabinets just came in so I wanted to get that done (and paid for) first. The lights I am leaning towards are at...

I just completed a display cabinet for my wife's pottery. I'm going to try LED strip lighting. They have these little 4" strips that can be connected together for whatever length you want. This...

I'd plan the layout better, but the biggest thing I would do is pick a different house! The house is nice, the location is excellent. However my shop is in the basement and I do not have a walk out...

You might check to see where all your bathroom and dryer ducts exit the house. On my house the builder ended the bathroom vent's ductwork into the attic. I've since made it so that it vented out...
