Peter-
I currently have the Lee Valley x-cut carcass saw and I like using it for cuts in 3/4" or thinner material, up to about 2" long. Beyond that size I keep going to the saw bench and panel...
I'm wanting to get medium sized saw for crosscutting at the workbench. On my short list are the Gramercy Sash Saw and the Wenzloff Half Back Saw available from Lee Valley. I already have a small...
I used a Multimaster in a profesional capacity to undercut door jambs for years and loved it. I think that type of cut is the Multimasters strongest area. It's not super fast, but it's fast enough....
If you hold a large grouting sponge that is fairly damp right at the back end of the spinning blade it will work well to catch most of the dust as it comes off. Go slow and re-wet the sponge every...
I have cut nails with the semi-circular blade on the HF multi tool, and it eats up blades fast if the nails are even modestly hard. Nice thing is there are plenty of teeth on the blade, so I just...
That looks more like a lightly toned clear coat than an actual stain to me (at least from the picture I see on my screen), which would make the finish process pretty easy if you are planning on...
I have some birch veneered interior doors that I will be installing in my house soon. They have some dark reddish grain patches that are characteristics of birch. I would like to dye or stain them...

I finished the main areas of my house with the Behr brand concrete translucent stain and a high gloss clear coat about 3 years ago. Mind you, it is not a shop, but I did put it down in the high...
I've cleaned up a bunch of that stuff to prep floors for ceramic tile or stone installation. I usually used a Jasco brand heavy duty floor adhesive stripper, available at most flooring outlets and...
My wife and I have done number of jobs re-finishing kitchen cabinets with magna-lac lacquers in a base coat, glaze, finish coat type of finish. The first one we did about 8 or 9 years ago and I saw...
I've only ever purchased the orange Chicago Electric ones. The other thing that's nice is, because they are so cheap, I can keep 4 or 5 going with different blades instead of switching. This is...
Figured I'd share a couple of positive HF experiences.
I've been a professional tile installer for 10+ years and have found a couple of items to be great for the money. I buy up 4" and 4.5"...
