My dad is giving me an older air compressor. Not sure on the details except that it is a craftsman and lays down. I ve been wanting a pankake style to clean the tools, inflate the kids bike tires,...

I really appreciated all the responses and I am sorry I didn't respond soon. I came down with a rather large kidney stone and didn't get back until tonight. THanks again for the info. Very...

I have never used air powered tools before but see them used on Norm's show a lot. My question is not about which brand to use. I am confused by the functions of the various types of nailers and...

I just took carpet off my stairs and found some nice but not fancy wood. There are large nails (about 8 per stair) and there are holes from the carpet staples. Do I push the nails in deeper and...

this is my first attempt at any real project beyond a shelf. I decided to build my son a desk-he is a Seattle Mariners/Ryan Newman fan (they both have similar color schemes which helps). I started...

My saw was backordered until March 21st-it shipped yesterday!:) :p :)

I started with shop notes. Has both jigs and projects with a wide variety of info. Best idea though-go to your local library or Barnes and Nobles and look through the mags.

ALso, look for...

I just ordered the 12 inch model. Had been ready to buy at xmas, but the washer went out so my tool money went down the drain, so to speak. What a great deal.

Thanks for the previous advice. I opened up the case to my Delta 618 PK router thinking I would blow it out and then check the brushes due to a loud whine. So, is it bad when parts start falling...

I have a dewalt 618 pk router. It is used in a router table. Last time I turned it on, I heard a loud ear piercing whine coming from it. Can someone give me an idea of where to start diagnosing...

After the great suggestions earlier this week, I think I like the bosch sliding CMS(after looking at both it and the makita) but ran across two models on amazon. Was wondering about the differences...

thanks for the replies. I had not looked at the Bosch so I guess I better do that before I plunk down the cash. After I posted this I went digging through my mags and found FWW review of the...

I am about to buy the makita 1013 miter saw. Anything that might change my mind about this machine? I'm wanting a slider and the ten inch seems the way to go. The fence on these doesn't look the...

thanks for the advice. Getting close to finishing now and cant wait. I hope to finish the desk this week. Really appreciate the help

I am about to finish my first woodworking project. It is a pine desk for my son that will be painted.

I am working on the top of the desk. I am planning to use particle board as a base and...

I am about to finish my first real project (a desk for my son). I built it out of pine due to lower costs and the correct assumption that I would make several mistakes and use up lots of wood. No...

Delta 50-761 2HP Single Stage Dust Collector :confused:

Does anyone know about this machine. Any recommendations in the same or lower price range (I can't go any higher than $550 which is what...

Well, it's all your fault. :rolleyes: Everyone who responded has convinced me that I better get that dust collector too! Of course, in convincing the LOML I put the blame on the experts here. So,...

Here are the models I am considering. I just don't know enough about the features to know if an extra hundred is worth it. I looked at the delta that was $500 but the magazine review said you need...

I bought the DEWALT 618 PK which had both the plunge and fixed bases. I use the fixed base on my table, and just pop out the motor when I need a plunge which has been seldom. I'm a newbie, so I...

Quick thanks again for all who helped with my jointer decision a couple of weeks ago. As I mentioned, my wife went with me to the woodworking show and the presenter made a good arguement for getting...

Thanks to all who helped me select a jointer as my next tool. Picked up the delta x5 six inch jointer at the Tacoma woodworking show for $400. Will pick up next week.

Now, what accessories if...

I purched the six in delta x5 jointer from Delta. With rebate, it came in at 400, originally priced at 600. Seemed like a good price compared to the rest of the jointers at the tacoma woodworking...

This is what I was basically thinking too. Wish I had college or place to take classes-Forks is isolated and about 3 hours to a major city. Our local community college doesn't offer much in the way...
