Hello Woodowrkers! I’m hoping for some input on a Craftsman Shop Vac dilemma. I have attempted to solve this by looking online for hours and realize that the inconsistencies in dust collection,...
Not seeing your resolution to this so I thought I'd add my two cents. I like to look at the lumens per watt used. I am seeing lots of inexpensive LED fixtures in the last 4 months or so, priced at...
This thread is not very active right now, but just in case someone looks to it for ideas, I'll post a few. When I built the shop almost six years ago, LED light fixtures were relatively expensive and...
Late to the thread - but I'm looking for advice on "workbench casters" since there are "upgraded versions" out there now. I tried two different sets two years ago, the second set was a replacement...
Thanks to all for the thoughts and ideas. I created a little clearance under the sash clamps using plywood strips and I'll certainly be rounding up a couple toothbrushes to help me with glue...
Thanks for this idea. I already had some stands made for the clamps so, after reading this, I made a few plywood bars 3/4" x 1-3/4" and 28" long that sit in slots in the stands. I'll put packaging...
Good luck, Gene, sorting through all this information and making a decision! Given all that was written here from various-sized individuals, I submit the notion that we all generally work with elbows...
I built a moxon vise using the shafts of screw thread dumbells ($15) and it works great to quickly add a few inches so close work becomes, well, close. It clamps to my bench top and accommodates work...
I want to glue up some 3/4" alder to make wider boards. I've read about removing excess glue (squeeze) once it has become rubbery by scraping it off. But with a bar clamp every 10-12" how do you do...
After purchasing a pipe clamp (using Al) from a thrift store, I outfitted a few other pipe clamps with Aluminum pipe. The "grips" eat into the Al pipe just a little but get good grip easily. If used...
The email actually said you'd also get "free shipping if the order was over $35". I guess the rant is that you'd have to actually call them (takes more of your time) to make it work. I think my...
Perhaps you are right and I think I have a pre-disposition about marketing "geniuses". I worked in a production environment in two different industries and found marketing to be the tail that wags...
I decided not to buy the merch in my cart; I'll do without for now and shop elsewhere. The big Blue R woodworking company sent a promo code for $10 off of $50. I had more than that in merch in my...
Thanks Fred. With less than half the bandsaw weight hanging over, may 35 pounds, I do not think (hope) I'll get any bend in two 2x4s that support the 3/4 plywood top. I have some leftover...
I have a small can from sliced olives that I stuffed a coiled old towel into. I put several drops of light oil on the towel to begin with and refresh occasionally with just a few drops. I wipe down...
I’m just finishing up a bathroom re-model that turned out to be much more work than I imagined. Keeping up with this six-acre homestead,gardens, and a forty-year-old house are about enough to keep me...
Who doesn't like a bargain? I was sent a 15% coupon last week from the R woodworking and had a frustrating experience with a very slow website before sending an email to customer service. After...
I realize this is an old thread, but in case there are some folks just getting around to the change from fluorescent tubes to led fixtures and or bulbs, I want to offer a caution. I was the...
Hi Tom, Since you are the inventor, perhaps you can respond to me with info on the elbow included in the package. In plumbing terms, an elbow that is large on one end than the other is referred to as...
Jorgensen is back! Comment on the thread and a product review. Read to the end. Yes there's a wide variety available and sometimes needed. I bought quite a few 4-pks of Irwin quick-grip mini clamps...
I appreciate the info.
Looks like carriage bolts worked well for giving you more space than any knobs.
Excellent point, Andy. I'm sure folks would cringe to see me feed stock without the latest way of Gripping, BUT I am accustomed to anchoring my precious right hand by wrapping one or two fingers over...
I need to roder some t-track and am seeing the double cut profile as in the Powertec brand and I recently used a piece of Shop Fox (red) which simply had one flat bottom instead of the double...
400570So this is what I have for a prototype. The 1/2" fir and the bolt head let me pass a push "shoe" within 3/4" of the fence. I thought I'd try this just aft the blade. I bought some plastic...
