Please try harder :-)

I see the unit here.

Brian- No Secrets here... How much does Acme sell them for and how much was shipping for something heavy like that ?

I forgot to mention that of a few compressors that I own and all my buddies etc. The only
compressors that are still running after 35 or 45 years are belt driven and oil lubricated.
I guess when...

Cut your raw stock length to not much more than your finished pieces lengths.
ie no need to be cutting ten foot strips if what you need are two foot pieces.
Shorter pieces of the thin flimsy pieces...

Save your milk cartons and smaller plastic bottles and jars then mix your sawdust with
oil and or melted wax for fire starters. If with oil of course jars with lids. The melted
wax starters can...

Take a hard serious look to see if there is any way you can mount your compressor somewhere
on the other side of the wall in your room. That could mean an outside closet etc. Run the hose
through...

until a year ago I had an 18ga stapler and I used exclusively stainless staples for lathe
in decorating decks and front porches etc. I thought the staples held exceedingly well
and that was a...

I want to make the careful distinction between 15ga brads and 15ga nails. Yes I am concerned
about the holding power of the brads with their smaller heads and like I said it looks like the total...

I have used 18ga brads for many years in crown and base molding and other small trim
but I observed the obvious failing of how easy the heads would pull through on more
substantive structures. ...

Sears Craftsman had an online deal for $49 for 7 1/4" compound miter saw with laser beam alignment.
I wanted it because it was a great deal for a particularly small light and portable saw to carry...

The intake engine cooling fan and Muffler along with one blade of the propeller is visible in the drawing.
( engine inside the wing right behind the pilots head, and the propeller behind the wing )

This is another of those life situations where you dont know
what you dont know.

I would sort of like to hear from a "real" CAD guy what
all the things are that Sketchup cannot do that "real"...

The attached image is what I am gearing up for. The hull is basically
a wooden boat. The is the only plans drawn seaplane in history
that can be flown in the USA without a pilots license or FAA...

the threaded rod would be a good idea if I had long pieces of wood. The wood I
will use will be mostly 1 to 3 feet long and I dont have a planer or a joiner
but as graded lumber it looks good...

I have 4 or 5 new construction residential homes going
up within a half mile of me and I have an almost unlimited
amount of 2x4 and 2x6 cutoffs available to me ( in the dumpsters)
and I have...

"SketchUp has never been a CAD program. It wasn't designed to be one."

Well sorry but I dont understand that. Please explain. What the heck is Sketchup and what is the...

There is no question that Sketchup has achieved some phenominal success
in the marketplace but I think there were (are) several cheaper 3D and
(maybe 2d) full function CAD programs out there. ...

For less than $200 you could have purchased your own Home Design Program
and created 90 percent of what you needed to build with in your leisure time
and had plenty of opportunities to make the...

This question has been asked for the last 25 years but it bears
repeating on a regular basis due to the advance in technology.
The first personal use CAD programs appeared on the PC-AT
in about...

I have a dozen old putters and I would like to create some
display for the wall whereby the putters could be removed
easily and the rack dusted as needed.
Anyone have any ideas ? There must be a...

I have three circular saws.
1. a 40 year old super light 6.5 inch Skill saw that is not too powerful
but perfect for the top of the step ladder cut small stuff jobs.
2. a 15 year old very powerful...

I bought the kit years ago but after looking at the small screws
and limited penetration, I just didnt trust their strength.

Am I over reacting ?

I mix sawdust with the used motor oil taken from my vehicles
in a wheel barrow and fill a 40 gal trash can with it.
During the winter I scoop some into 5 gal drywall mud buckets
and add to fire in...

I bought a thin kerf hi tooth count hitachi blade from Home Depot a while back for about 7 or 8 bucks on sale for the express purpose of smooth
cuts and I am happy with the smooth cuts on oak...
