I don't suppose I am the only one who has a lot of 1-1/4" coarse drywall screws I use for just about anything. Then when I want to use them outdoors I get the gray prime coated ones. On craigslist I...

When my company wants to prevent corrosion on buried uncoated cast iron or ductile iron for a very long period of time, we use a paste wax primer such as Trenton Wax-Tape Primer and then we layer on...
I designed one that i've used for about a year that has the following features:
The top is flat due to the dado vertical strips of MDF and torsion box type of design, but I also made long and...
I predict that hand craftsmanship and time spent will be a factor.
Wyko's humidor will be a contender, and I wouldn't be suprised if a CNC/laser box doesn't get runner up. I didn't compete...
Crimony... a thompson submachine gun.
I'm in
I can do an unbiased review and can even modify the review into becoming a biased one per the manufacturers request.
I have clamp sizes from 6" to 48
By far I use the parallel jaw 24" clamps the most, then I use the 12" "F" style bar clamps
Harbor freight now sells a clone of the festool/bessey mechanical...
I have the 750X and it makes the bits much sharper. It's quick and easy once you get the hang of it.
I have both the high grit and the low grit grinding wheel. The low grit is for large drill...
I might as well confirm that the Grizzly T10687 is a track saw for less than $200, and the cost of the 102" rail is about $100. At that price point, it probably spanks the other brands listed by the...
I don't really side with either, i'm glad we can make a choice.
I know the Hammer is made in Austria, has to ship to delaware, and then shipped again to client. They arn't exactly stock piled...
I have a gingher 5" knife edge and the Fiskars 10" tailor shears. Both are great scissors. If I had to have one all purpose scissor then I would buy the orange handle 8" classic fiskars. They are...
Not that i tried this, but if I wanted to use the sliding table to remove a thin strip from a long board maybe I could adjust my rip fence so that it's spaced from the blade the correct amount of...
I checked and HF doesn't sell a cheap enough metal break to cut that cheaper than a $50 Oshlun Kapex blade that can cut aluminum from Amazon.
I'd probably just buy an off brand kapex replacement...
Another option is to use a rabbet edge so that the plywood layered edge reveal is small. Then you can use a router to cut away that edge and replace it with solid wood edging. The color might not...
Looks like a handheld shaper. I have the OF1010EQ which looks like a dremel compared to the 2200.
Perhaps an improvement to the business is if all of this information pops up prior to clicking "purchase" with one of those "agree" check boxes. Then it could reduce confusion to buyers.
However...
I agree with above that the wood should definitely change color over time so I wouldn't stress over the color difference. Even if he diluted a stain to get the colors to match right now, it might...
If you're just a recreational player then you might not even need slate and can use an MDF top with economy bumpers and cloth.
If that MDF top has a torsion box type of design then it can be a...
Just an idea to throw in there but can you make a 3/4" MDF template table first and have that table a couple inches undersize. Then you can use double sided tape to attach it to your top and then...
That's the same switch I have on my home made router table. Works fine to me... :)
I bought a 1 ton folding engine hoist from Harbor Freight for $100.
Used it on oneway lathe, hammer jointer/planer, and grizzley shaper.
I also used it once on an engine, though it was just to...
This seems like a good thread.
Read and follow the instructions for all of your machines. Instructions can often tell you the smallest piece you can safely cut on that machine, etc. If you havn't...
I would get the scoring blade. It actually came in handy for me in some situations other than sheet goods for I achieved much less chip out cross cutting small slats of pine using the scoring.
On...
The wood turners would probably do a segmented platter this way if it had an even number of segments.
6 pie pieces for one half with 2 of the end pieces could even be a tad oversize, then use a...
I chose MDF for my router table because it's flat, stable and MDF is heavier than most plywoods. More mass typically means less vibrations.
