I have owned a 26 and 38 inch woodmaster and loved them. If you have the space get the 50in and put two different grits on the drum. A widebelt would be better but that 50in has a 10hp motor and 6in...
I second the suggestion of a flush cut Japanese trim Saw. I use it all the time to trim plugs and dowels. Then smooth it with any handplane.
I've got four of those Dubuque clamps, 48 in and I really like him. Sometimes you need a lightweight clamp and they fit the bill.
I second the notion of using a pallet jack for a mobile base. When I had my big shop I moved all my machines around with a pallet jack. Right now I have my 12 inch joiner on a double piece of plywood...
I saw that also. Makita used to make a side by side, model 2030N and it was well reviewed. Hitachi made one too. But like you said, it would be nice with a larger jointer. One of the advantages of...
I put a 24 foot steel I-beam in my last shop that was 12 inches high. The contractor who helped build my shop just happen to have that size laying around as salvage. We also put an I-beam of the...
I spared no expense and used mahogany on my boat. Most cypresses is new growth and just doesn't hold up in my view. I've had to repair a lot of rotten Adirondack chairs made with new growth Cypress....
The 10 x 4 double-sided course/extra course DMT diamond stone is what I have used for years. I find it convenient to use it under running water if that's available.
I pre-finish the panels and the inside edges of the rails and styles. I even rub the panels out and wax them as it's much easier to do when they're flat and not in the frame. Any glue wipes right...
Well looking back the boat was really my favorite build. I learned how to scarf plywood together and that really started me down the path of woodworking. I built a design called "Lil Gem" from Swan...
International pickup trucks. My grandad bought one in 1960 or thereabouts, drove it for 25years then sold it for more than he paid in 1985.
I put the runners on before I put the resin. Though the resin wore off pretty quickly over the oak runners. My boat has lasted 20 years and that's plywood outside using the resin. Also used a good...
I built a 14 ft row boat back in 1996 out of Marine Mahogony ply and used West epoxy on the inside and out, everything except the teak seats and solid mahogony transon. Just coated it with no glass. ...
I remember seeing him for the first time as the drug addict in "Midnight Express" in 78. He was certainly a gem and will be missed.
I just needed something to blow out my cylone filters and run a brad nailer so got one of those little California air compressors because they are super quiet and cheap. I put it up on a shelf out of...
Great post/ I saw those cane grinders with mules growing up in S Florida. We ate cane syrup on pancakes, bisquits etc. Thats what most of the cane went to down there. Now the best cane syrup comes...
Well depending on you budget I would recommend a split unit AC/Heat pump. They are great, you dont want a window unit, loud and you lose a window. I love sanded plywood floors on sleepers with...
I also have a 333 thats been going 15years and many pads. My understanding is the new PC sanders are not near as good as these older ones.
I recall hauling a very heavy duffel bag back with wood from New Zealand myself and some it was Rimu. On another trip I bought back some bowls from Tasmania turned from reclaimed Huon Pine. Been...
Can anyone tell me with the Mirka, do you have to have the paddle down all the time for the sander to work...or is there a way to lock it on and take you hand off the paddle. The reason I ask is...
Is noise an important consideration? My shop is about same size of yours, an attached garage so didnt want to pollute the house with two much noise. The Oneida V3000 is quiet compared to other...
I haven't use one of those bits in a long time but doesn't the lumber have to be an exact thickness for it to work without having to adjust the bit?. If it's a three-quarter inch bit and then the...
Wall lumber has ash blanks for $14 apiece. They also make good table legs.

My previous set up was hooked up to a dust collector and worked very well. I currently just have a shop vac inserted in the Triton router and it's Ok, but not the best. I'm really looking forward to...
