Here's one I made for my MIL a few years ago who also wanted to display her seashells. No drawers, however. The glass top can be removed to change the display. I remember having to do a lot of...
I received an unsolicited email from Andy's EZwoodshop touting his ezwoodshop planner. Has anyone had any experience with this product? http://ezwoodshop.com/ezprojectplanner.html
I have the Grizzly GO555 with the riser installed. For resawing, I use the Timberwolf 1/2" 3tpi with satisfactory results. I have used TW blades exclusively for the past three years and have been...
Richard, I have owned the DW735 for 3 years and have been very satisfied with its performance. I do have the extension tables and would recommend them to you. Attached is a pic of the planer stand...
I have used cedar for several standalone planter boxes and finished them with a 50-50 mixture of tung oil and spar varnish. They sit out year round in Central Indiana, and an adjustable shelf allows...
Randy, they have a website. Just Google frank miller lumber. You'll have to call them, however, to get details about the upcoming sale.
Matt is correct about Frank E Miller Lumber. They are on the Ohio-Indiana border about an hour and a half from Indianapolis. Their once-a-year blowout sale is next Saturday morning.
Northwest Lumber is my number one choice in the Indy area. I have purchased cherry, maple, walnut, poplar and basswood from them as well as cherry and oak plywood. Prices will be more than what you...
Indianapolis got 7" of snow over the weekend and saw some nightly lows in single digits. My newly installed Dayton 73g took my 26 x 20 (2 1/2 car, uninsulated) workshop from 49 degrees this morning...
Here's the pic.
Vol. 12, Issue 71 (Sep 2003) of Shop Notes has a cut-off bin plan on page 29 which can be built from one sheet of plywood. It looks like this.
Welcome to the Creek, Dave. Add bifocals to your list of assembly plagues and you'll have just one more frustration the deal with. Once the GO586 is put together and set up, you'll like it a lot....
Rockler's online catalog has a 14" shaker felt bag for less than $25 advertised as 1 micron which will fit the Jet 650. You'll need to extend the bag support arm by about a foot. Click...
I used the Rustoleum product in my 2 1/2 car garage 4 years ago and today it looks as good as new. As others have commented, preparation is a key and sweeping is much easier than bare concrete. When...
The Marathon motor on my 3 year old DW746 table saw started making a very loud noise...like when a bearing(s) is going out. What I learned from the local authorized repair shop (after they listened...
Welcome to the Creek, Lynn. I would just like to tag along on this thread because I have been looking unsuccessfully for months. I've found a few but none that really "talk" to me.
Nice gloat, Larry...and welcome to the Creek.
I wrestled with this decision several months ago and finally decided to build my own table (next project.) You can search this site and finds lots of outstanding examples. I plan to use/modify one of...
Thanks guys for inspiring me to finally get an avatar posted. It's always good to be able to put a face with a name! :D
I placed an order for a #4 Stanley from Akbar 'N Jeff's (aka Tom Bruce) last weekend and by Sunday night had received an email stating that the handplane would be shipped on Monday. It arrived on...
Thanks Mike and Ben. Your comments were most helpful and validated what I thought would be the case. Looks like I'll be placing an order with Tom Bruce soon. And, Mike, I have been reading and...
While searching for a Stanley #4, I came across a site called Electronic Neanderthal Site. It is also headed "Akbar 'n' Jeff's Tool Hut. Has anyone had any purchasing experience there? As always, I...
A quick search for "GO586" will yield a lot of useful information for you if you haven't already done that.
Make that a welcome to David Boland. Nice first post with a Timberwolf blade recommendation!
