"Very interesting...What appears to be nearly identical at Harbor Freight"
For the same money I will take Lee Valley quality over Harbor Freight quality any day. Mine was 27.00 to my door, still...
I have not done anything with Kreg tools yet, I do have the 20.00 single pocket hole jig though. I did buy the video for making a router table and the thing that I think all the other stuff give you...
Is the disstonian Institute still up? If so the guy that runs that site might have an interest in it?
I tried the heater like the one pictured but did not like it that much. I eneded up getting a fan assited torpedo type heater, still gas fired but it works well enough. I just warm the place up let...
"Steel drawers can't absorb the humidity changes and if you have high humidity and and a sudden drop in temperature, you will get condensation."
It's Florida Dave there are no sudden temp drops !!...
When Millers Falls discontinued its second quality Mohawk-Shelburne line, it continued to market the No. 900 and No. 814 economy planes under the Millers Falls brand name. Some minor changes in...
While I cannot vouch for many Craftsman pro tools I do have a 12 v drill that has been great. It is about 6 years old and survived a drop off the garage roof and kept on chugging. I would honestly...
Craig, That is the same saw I got from my Grandfather, it is an excellant example of a bandsaw. If the price is right grab it. I had to replace the tires shortly after I got mine, the blade kept...
You might also want to see if someone is selling any used Table saw's here or in your area. I got a 70's era Craftsman/Emerson with a Biesmeyer fence for 400.00, like the guy said I bought the fence...
If you have not seen it Lee Valley makes a spoke shave kit that I understand it is pretty good. If nothing else it might give you some good idea's.
I think the D on the chisel can either stand for defect or the Defiance line of chisels. Various discussion's on other boards seem to conclude either way it is still a good chisel. Todd H has said on...
Sergant planes as I understand it are the equal of Stanley's the Sergant VBM ( Very Best Made ) are better in quality. If it is complete why not tune it up, if you dont like it I am sure it can be...
Welcome to Columbus or Marysville as it were, Woodcraft is closest and the Rockler store has closed it's Bexley location and combined with Woodwerks. As far as a list of lumber dealers here goes. I...
I think most everything in Davis Mark's shop is old iron that he bought as he needed it. Except the Multi router, which he got at an estate sale.
I have Craftsman Pro 14.4 v drill that is still going strong after 5 years give or take a little. It took a nose dive off a roof and I thought it was a goner but it fired right up, just bumped and...
Dave, Thanks for the reply. Jay
Dave, Just a quick follow up question about the cork pad you use, I take that you have not had any problems with rust when using that method? It sounds interesting and I might add that to my list...
Lee, That deck looks great. I started putting the trex on mine last night. I found very quickly that per your advice pre drilling is the way to go with those tiger claws. Jay
"The screwdriver and X-acto handles were "turned" on my drill press"
How hard was that to do? I dont have a lathe and I have seen that done in a book that I have. That stuff looks great by the way
I have sheetrock which will be coming off to insulate behind it, hopefully this summer. Just a few thoughts here, you might want to add extra 2x4 studs and maybe cross peices for any area where...
Jerry, I have not found a picture but here is a link to DeWalt's website that gives a description of the collector.
Dewalt web site
I have that planner and I think De Walt doesnt recommend using a shop vac with it, DC yes. I could be wrong but check your manual. When I got mine I got the hose and fabric cover and with a trash can...
Awhile back Wood Magazine posted a new lube that they really liked. It is called Pro gold, it is used by bicycle enthiusiasts. I have not tried but I did print off the info. They can be found at ...
I dont know about websites but there are plenty of good books out there, you can probably get them from the library as well. Authors I would look for are Jim Tolpin and Danny Proulux, there are...
