A couple of years ago I built an Adirondack out of Lyptus and set it outside in an area that gets sun, cold, and rain. After 2 years that chair has weathered nicely, not splintered or degraded, and...
Thanks, I have found that orienting the camera to top view and exporting as a 2d graphic gives me a good file to print from.
For years, I have been a paper and pencil designer, appreciating CAD but never fully embracing it. With drafting tools and oversized notepad, I could draw anything. I decided to suck it up and dive...
re consensus, it screws up my thesis to suggest these are actually valuable :)
Is that pipe your vent pipe or is it a waste pipe from a 2nd floor?
I was reading the recent thread on laser guides and miter saws, the universal consensus is that they are a waste of money. This led me to think about the phenomena of group think in product design...
I have one on a circular saw and it's not worth a damn there either.
I don't like the rubber faced hold downs either... you have to put a lot of downward pressure for them to hold, which then works against you in the jointing operation.
A couple of push sticks and...
I'm inclined to agree with Bill... and I have no hesitation is saying that if you deal with the doors in the manner you describe they are going to look like crap.
You might be able to rip a strip...
okay I understand better now, makes sense.
I probably would not put an abrasive pad on the table, thinking instead that putting it on the face of the fence would be more effective. Try it and see...
I have the Whiteside vee-panel T&G router bit set; it's not cheap at $150 for the matched set of bits but I use it a lot, preferring the vee-panel look to straight T&G for cabinet backs.
Anway,...
I've been itching to replace my LS1013 with the new 1016 saw, it's a really impressive piece of engineering and builds on all of the class leading features that the 1013 brought to the table. There...
I don't understand why your work piece would not be up against the fence when you are cutting?

my friend owns a couple of Woodcraft stores and he has said on many occasions that hiring and keeping good people remains his biggest challenge. I don't think this is all that different from any...
That router sled idea is something I've been wanting to try. I have a couple of large slabs that are good candidates for the treatment, but then I'd have to build something with them :) but I also...
I had one for years and really liked it... then I gave it to my best friend because I was convinced I needed a more "industrial strength" machine. I bought a Powermatic 31A to replace and there...
good Lord, people still drink Anchor Steam? My friend, we may agree on many things but our taste in hops inspired beverages is a point we will be destined to argue about. :)

I have the Delta 17-968 which has variable speed adjustment and after using that for a couple of years I could not imagine going back to a manual belt adjustment. I'm not sure if the 968 is still a...
will do based on your suggestions... but like yourself I am fond of the Waterlox line and averse to wasting material with a generous flooding process.
BTW, I've also used spar varnish reduced by...
It's always a concern but with the advent (and chaos) of CPSIA everything that comes in through U.S. customs has to include a test certification for lead and other regulated materials.
BTW,...
I have a metal supply cabinet (not a full fledged flammables cabinet) that I use exclusively for stuff that is hazardous in this regard.
Over the years I have learned from others that this is...
I learned a lot reading Bob's reply... but one lesson I had learned prior to reading it was to avoid the Minwax fast drying polyurethane as when all things are considered it's hardly what you would...
I built this about 6 years ago, it's MDF. As you can probably tell from the mixture of artwork on the mantle, I have young children; durability has not been an issue. MDF is brittle on hard edges but...
The Braun is a mass market consumer grade appliance, which is why it is noisy. The grinding mechanism is also not as precise as a good burr grinder and the entire unit generates a lot of heat which...
