Thank you all for your responses. I haven't gotten back into the garage to test this theory out, but will do so in the next few days and post back what I find.

Here is a diagram of how the wiring is laid out:

I am just setting up the shop, so the bandsaw is the only thing that is being turned on. I have not tried another tool. It is only a 14" bandsaw.

There is technically a heater on that 60 amp line,...

So I am throughly confused right now as to why lights are dimming when I turn on one of my tools.

I just moved into a new house and this is my first experience with a subpanel.

The subpanel is...

Has anyone here ever had a request to resize a piece of furniture or just decided you made it too big and reduced it?

My wife is not happy with the size of our coffee table after having it for...

Bill,

Do you think that the fact that most of your tools are still functional from when they were made in the US would affect your decision as to whether or not to purchase a new tool? If they...

After cleaning up some stuff with the wire brush this weekend and jamming my thumb (which still hurts when too much pressure is made), I appreciate the above comments. I will go the more manual labor...

I just finished building my computer side table to keep all of my computer components out of the reach of my 13 month old and also keep everything looking clean. The door is kept closed with a push...

Hello all,

I picked up a wire brush to put on the slow speed grinder I have from woodcraft. It was meant to help me clean up a plane (which it did), but I now am in need of cleaning up my saw...

A beautiful piece of work! I love the maple leaves on the front. How did you make them?

So far, it seems that you guys are right on with the Millers Falls brand. I have started taking it apart and the only marking I can find on it says "Made in America", but no branding. That goes along...

Hi,

I am hoping you guys can help me identify this plane. A family member gave it to me.

I only have new planes, so if you could point me in the right direction for restoring it, i'd...

Matt,

I took a look at the Lie-Nielsen twin screw vise and it seems even more complicated to install than the Veritas one. Anyone have thoughts on that?

Also, if I am going to have a 4 inch...

Ken,

Thank you for this post. I can't imagine how you feel right now. Like the rest of the posts, I have had a few close calls too, but the jointer has never been one of those. I think when...

Ian,

I definitely am not a handtool only guy. I am just actually starting to get more into hand tools, but plan on this bench functioning as a combo functionality bench for me.

I am planning on...

That is great to hear. I think on top of that good experience with the phone number is to hear of the online support. Really adds to the customer experience.

So I am about to begin my journey on building a true workbench. I have been working off of a modified New Yankee chop saw bench for awhile and have realized that I am really missing out by not having...

I have been searching all over trying to find the replacement blades for the Steel City 13" planer and have not been able to find them. I do keep seeing the DeWalt replacement blades which look very...

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all of the replies. I actually was able to make it out to the store and check that exact piece of furniture out. First, I'd like to point out that it isn't the type of...

I am planning on making a nightstand very soon and I like some of the styles at Crate & Barrel with the lines in the wood where the wood is joined. How do they accomplish this in the way the...

Oh! I see! Many small pieces laminated (glued) together to make one big stronger flatter piece! :) Now I get it!!!

James,

I was able to give it a try and I war pretty impressed with how thin of shavings I could get. Next to the contractor plane, this is the first real plane I have used. On a piece of red oak,...

Will - I am not completley familiar with the process I would need to accomplish this. With the frames I build, I tend to route them to put my particular look and feel on them. If I were to route...

Hi All,

I just had a post about a problem I was having with sharpening the iron from the Stanley Sweetheart block plane I purchased. Well, I noticed that there was a gouge in the cap that I...

Matt,

I have calibrated my jointer and have yet to be able to successfully flatten a 65" board without purchasing something much thicker than the stock I want to end up with. It is much easier to...
