+1 on Vertical Storage... I have 2100+ board ft of Cherry, Oak, and Walnut that had to be kiln dried or let mother nature turn it to dust. Storing horizontally would have taken up way too much...

That is another reason I am not leaning towards the Zambus casters... The wheels look to small for it to roll easily... I do admit they would have several practical applications in the shop.. Just...

My welding skills are medicore at best. But this may be what I need to improve in that area. Have any pics of your mobile bases? I fortunately have access to a small stock pile of angle iron, ...

The other night this popped up on CL for $500 and I jumped on it.. needless to say right now it is immobile... and I need to get it out of the bay of the my lift as I have some vehicle...

This is who I bought mine from last year... pretty reasonable considering that anyone else I would have had to order from all wanted twice the price and about 5 times the quantity I would need for a...

Well I went to an estate sale today and picked up 3 planes. 2 are E.C.E block planes, the non-adjustable kind. I just kind of liked the look of them, $12 and $15. And a Wards Master plane. The...

Unfortunately the best welder I knew (my dad) passed away almost 3 years ago. He was amazing when welding or working on a metal lathe. My one regret is that I never had him teach me much about...

Thomas, I have been over there a lot reading up. This weekend I am going to pull the wheels off the band saw and make sure the bearings are the special one the one of the members over there makes. ...

Don - Thanks, and no, I have not stopped smiling. Best thing is that the wife isn't all that mad about it either. At first she kind of was, but then when I sold the dust collector, she was like "oh...
