Having trouble finding the right protection for a Cedar deck railing I'm planning on building. Most people are referencing higher quality deck stains/coats for the deck itself but I'm just...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Clearly this is over my head and not worth keeping anything. It was a complete replacement, furnace, coil, condenser, blower. All almost 20 years old but the...

Getting a new furnace and condenser today. I'm guessing they just throw out the old one. Motors run fine (had different problems that led to the replacement). Should I keep parts (almost 20 years...

Great thread! I've always thought about what I'd do if I were forced to (always found a way to avoid it).

My cheap HF oiled air compressor is plenty loud heh. Doesn't bother me though as I keep ear protection on most of the time. Wish I was smart enough to do that when I was younger playing in bands......

The thing about the good deals on CL is they sell fast - like with in hours. I've missed out plenty (not on a table saw though) even replying the same day. I've had some luck too. To increase...

I had a thread exploring this option for a smaller table. I have yet to get to the project. I'm making a a tablesaw Mobile base too. I got lazy and did similar as previously suggested - 4 swivel...

Is it that much of a con to have some build up of dust in the cabinet? As in if you don't clean it out will it affect dust collection and/or cause wear on the moving parts of the saw?

Would you guys buy them despite already having standard paper or just wait until you're out and need more?

I think we can all at least agree the vent looks good :)

Similar to Steve's post. Might give you some ideas. http://www.iliketomakestuff.com/automated-blast-gates/

I actually think my HF clamps have more clamping power than the Irwin and will buy HF ones in the future. I have the Bessy Duo clamp as well and seem to give the strongest hold (and maybe slightly...

+1 on the wiping varnish if you're new to finishing. I don't have very much experience finishing and even managed to mess up spray lacquer on a tiny box. The first time I used general finishes...

I had the same problem on a new Porter cable 890. This was a month or two ago. I had another router to finish my job so out it on hold. I also bought a new collet just in case but I haven't tried it...

ooh nice tip!

If it's anything like the smaller dust deputy (which I've heard it is) for shop vacs you'll be golden. I've got one on my shop vac and it's like magic. I recently got the HF dust collector and it...

Far from elegant but I go the rigid insulation on the floor method http://m.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Corning-FOAMULAR-1-2-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-R-3-Squared-Edge-Insulating-Sheathing-36L/100320356/. I like...

I have the Woodcraft one you referenced (from steel city but identical) from my jointer and it works great. 3/4 cheap plywood for base. I don't think it matters much as you cut it to size and the...

The two most popular woodworking youtubers are Steve Ramsey and Matthias Wandel I believe. It's interesting as their content is on opposite extremes of woodworking. Maybe because I'm relatively new...

Yah the bosch Ts2000 would definitely save space. Like previously mentioned it's not cheap though. The one thing I don't like about it is it puts the saw really high which is a pain for a short...

That is awesome! If positioned right I think it could be better that a retractable reel since it can pivot directly over multiple areas especially if paired with a hose (which presumably wouldn't be...

I appreciate all the expert advice. I think I'll stick with all cherry and use plywood where I can to save some money. It's my first highly visible piece in the house so I'll give myself the best...

Thanks for all the tips. Definitely beyond my skill to try to pull off. Yonak those are beautiful but like I said beyond even attempting something that nice. Bummer it's that hard but I suppose...

Is mixing cherry stained pine with arm-r-sealed cherry plywood (no stain on cherry) in a single piece a bad idea? I'm building a mud room bench and want a wainscoting back. To save some money I...

Just wanted to up date that I got a cheap HF belt sander to clean up the lines. Takes a lot longer than I thought even with a belt sander! I'm guessing with a better sled setup like suggested it'd...
