RE: "You can do anything you put your mind to Chris."

Don't forget to bring your WALLET!!!!!!

Retired Chemical Engineer: Over MANY years I used a couple hundred of them in industries ranging from sugar refining to waste materials (including sawdust) to munitions disposal. Only place I...

Andrew; A clearance of 1/2" +1/32 -0 means that the clearance may be between 1/2" and 17/32"; The -0 indicates that it can NOT be less than 1/2".

Therefore with your 10" opening, your drawer...

My sink is a standard laundry sink. It's located on an inside wall, back-to-back with my wife's laundry room, so I have hot & cold water available. Two things to watch out for, based on local...

WOW! Where did you find that package for $20? They'll sell a bunch if this crowd can find them.

WOW! You just never know where you'll pick up a useful tip! I checked the Off Topic forum just for grins, and look what I find.

A question for the Zenni recommenders - & other on-line options: ...

Thanx for the note, Chuck. I went thru my collection of Shop Notes - issue 86 to the end, and found several miter saw articles, but none that I found include that adjustable height deck. They all...

Thanx, Fred & Andy. I've been visualizing various schemes along those lines, but am still hoping to find that article. I'm a couple months of work away from that part of the install, so I should...

A couple years (or so) back I ran across an article in a woodworking magazine on mounting a miter saw into a workbench. It had a neat way of mounting the base so that it was height adjustable to...

Uhhhhhhhh?
Some may consider it tacky, but I just slip mine down the back of my jeans! Never lost, and since I seldom sit on anything but an open stool at the bench (no back), it works great.

Woody;
Take a look at this one from Wood Magazine:

The plans are fairly cheep - I bought them a year or so...

I'm with you, Tom: None of these high priced tracks & guides is any better than the accuracy with which you mark, position, and clamp them! And if you go to the trouble of accurately marking and...

I do have to admit: The topic made me so curious that I HAD to read this one.
And I bet I'm not the only one!! Education comes from the strangest places.

Alan: Any fan/blower - air mover - does maximum work when totally open to free airflow, i.e., the impeller is open to 'grab' and move all the air it possibly can. It is NOT running at no load! ...

James! You are revealing our ages!

Not a good idea, Scot. The 2 will fight each other, to the point that the more powerful may pull backwards through the less powerful. Blowers in parallel are extremely tricky to design and balance,...

Years ago my in-laws had a similar, 'hidden' table. It looked like a simple sideboard sitting against the wall, with a vase on it. On holidays when the gang assembled, the front face telescoped out...

Mounting air moving equipment (or liquid pumps) in series OR parallel is a very tricky process, and usually works ONLY after detailed engineering design. Occasionally someone gets lucky, but don't...

Thanx for all the comments, guys. I think I'll get the table top kit without the lift, and add one later if I use the router enough - although assembling my retirement dream shop, I'm a beginner at...

Situation: I bought a P-C 893PK kit (fixed & plunge bases) and intend to build an add-on table for it on my Rigid TS-3650 tablesaw. A recent Rockler flyer is running a table top special including...

RE: Anti-Fatigue mats: Check out Harbor Frieght. They carry a 4-pack of 2'x2' interlocking mats. usually around $10 - I bought a couple cases when they were on sale for about $8, and use them in the...

Several people have mentioned animal bedding. If you have a horse - or access to horse manure - you have the perfect solution: The 'horse' adds the nitrogen needed for wood dust composting, so used...

David has hit the nail on the head! You can install a 10hp DC and 12 inch duct, but if the shrouds at the machine aren't well designed, you've wasted your efforts. Those really interested in doing...

I wondered where that parrot went!!!!

I guess I'm the oddball on this issue: My home is fully sprinklered, including the garage/shop. Since the house is 1.5 miles off the paved highway, in the mountains, I was required to put in...
