Well almost done, I'm still waiting for my wife to pick out the drawer pulls she wants. This took me about four months and is my largest project yet. It is built mostly from cherry. I used soft...

I searched the forum and was unable to find any thing on this. I managed to knock my kreg miter guage off the table and now it is out of square. Is there a way to square it back up aside from using...

I just installed my fence readout to my 30" biesemeyer, but it looses the calibration when it crosses from one segment to the next. If I'm very careful about moving the fence over the segment it...

It has a quill lock, I use the on on my Steel City all the time.

The spyderco sharpmaker is probably the easiest system I've found. Not sure what they run now, but I got mine for about $50 a few years ago. It doesn't have guides or clamps. It has 4 ceramic stones...

I've got the 36-979 with a biese and I've been happy with it. It's really more saw than I need and not as much saw as I want if that makes any sense. I added a link belt, an mj splitter and a kreg...

Made these boxes for my wife and parents.

My wife gave me permission to get this myself for christmas. 30% MS Cashback, 10% ebay coupon and $100 rebate from SC made it a nice deal.

Off topic, but the improved SAPI plates will hold up against 7.62x54 AP, but the little bullets aren't the ones that really worry me.

Another soldier checking in. Kevlar will stop objects flying at a high rate of speed. Knives and other piercing objects can cut kevlar because they aren't transfering energy quick enough allowing the...

I got mine at lowes for $99 and use it fixed base and in a table. I don't think the plunge base is anywhere near as good as my dewalt 617. It's just not very smooth at all. Aside from that the above...

I really appreciate everyone's input. It sounds like the general consensus is cosmoline with plastic wrap. I feel pretty comfortable with it since I've never seen the Army give me anything rusted...

I initially thought about putting everything in my storage room with a dehumidifier. It would be a tight fit, but not impossible. My big concern with this is the dehumidifier has to be emptied and...

I'm going to be away from home for about a year so I'm trying to figure out the best way to prevent rust on my tools. Right now I'm debating between thick coats of T9 on my cast iron or just going...

I just received my steel city drill press a few weeks ago. I'm really happy with it. I was looking closely at the jet, but decided on the split head and extra quill travel. If you look on ebay you...

Another vote for the Dewalt 735. I got mine NIB for $370 from HD. If you aren't in a rush to get one, you should be able to come across a good deal. Ebay with MS 30% cashback and the Ebay Fall 10%...

I got the BU Jack Plane. I think my next plane will be the BU Jointer.

I got to use my LV for the first time today. I've had it for a couple of weeks, but work has kept me on the road. All I can say is WOW. I now understand the difference between these cheap planes I've...

That's why I decided to jump on it. The order is already in. I didn't get all three blades for it, but I'm sure I will pick the other two up later.

Thanks for the advice. I decided to go with the LV low angle jack. I'm really excited about seeing what one of these can do. Household 6 agreed I can have it as an anniversary present.

I'm seriously considering getting a LV or LN plane soon. I already have a no 3 bedrock my father-in-law gave me and an old stanley jointer. I also have cheap (modern) stanley 4 and 5 jack planes that...

Does anyone have any info on this drill press? The stock number is 354173 and it's listed in Jet's latest catalog, but I can't find any info on it at all. I'm really curious about when it will hit...

I'm sure this has been asked a hundred times, but I just can't seem to get the wording right when I search. I'm looking for articles on basic hand plane techniques for getting stock square and the...

It's an 8" Jointer.

Is this worth $550 plust tax?


Ticar 8" Jointer , no base/stand, no motor... This machine is over fifteen years old, but has never been used. Original cosmolene has dried on machine, but we...
