Mike,
Along with doubling up the joists, I would look at digging out some of the dirt and mixing a few bags of the pre-mixed concrete and put a galvanized post bracket in and then carrage bolt a...
As in many areas we all have opinions, but when choosing a major piece of machinery I really like to take the time to actually see one in person. All to often the sales brochure either dosen't tell...
For new work I like my RO 125 but for refinishing, I find the RTS 400 to be a little less aggressive and more forgiving in tight spots. Either sander combined with the CT-22 make for a huge reduction...
You have several good used machinery dealers in the Portland area worth checking out for used heavy iron.
I have the Jet 1642 EVS and its a great machine for what I need it to do but with what...
Tom,
I picked up a General 2643 floor stand to use on my Jet 1642 and it has worked very well for my outboard turning needs. Stores out of the way nicely when not needed on the shelf under the...
Andrew,
Lots of good information and suggestions on lighting and paint choices.
One thing I remember from a few years back on using fluorescent lights in a shop area is that under certain...
Very nice! Your inclusion of a common sized item for reference is a helpful touch as well to compare the size.
Steve,
Once again great instructions! Like most, I chose to modify things a bit by removing some of the hose and the hose barb joints. A bit rusty on my tubing bend layouts, but it works just...

The table sure has the WOW factor built in! The bowl on top looks mighty fine also!:)
All, I did a Google on "Sphere Cutting Jig" and came up with http://vermec.tripod.com/id1.html that has a picture of this little gem.:)
Hope it helps.
Very nice seedpot, wish I had about half the skill to match what you just did. It looks great! :)
It looks like you shot your pictures in one of the white photo tents. if there is a menu option...
Just too outstanding of a project illustration not to copy.
A few questions . . .:)
Any thoughts to adding a small expansion tank and vacuum switch so the pump can cycle off and not run at 100% of...

OK, Thats it! I've put this off for about a year and a half now. You show pictures of my lathe so I had to place the order this morning with the guys at surpluscenter for the vacuum pump. Looks like...

Randy,
I have a my DC and compressor in a shed outside my shop area and gave up on the little sign on the door. Seems I ignored my own sign. . . So I picked up a few of the McMaster-Carr # ...
If you can catch a boat to get off of the island, consider picking up a mobile machine base. Most raise the machine about 1" and some creative shimming with plywood along with some form of bolting...
Brass plated, steel rods and the associated hardware has usually been available at any stocking dealer for curtain rods. You are looking for what is called cafe curtain rods. Rods come in several...
Curtis,
As long as the spray gun or other tool you plan to connect has a rated air consumption that is a lower CFM than the compressor, all is good.
I located my compressor outside also. Less...
David, I recently put up the large Jet air handler unit using the four bolt mount tabs that came with the machine. One of my concerns was to keep it as high up as possible. I went with a 1" birch...
John, I would fall back to the "Golden Rectangle" as a rough guide for my design. 13" diameter top would become (roughly) 8" tall and have a 5" diameter base if the intended load on top is light, 6"...
Last year I upgraded my 25 year old 14" Delta band saw with a 19" Shop Fox W1729. What an improvement! The vibration is gone. More HP, the blade no longer stalls or slows down when cutting (when...
Like most others who have posted. . . When in doubt, I sharpen to start and again when needed and usually when I finish, before they get put away.
That new Tormek system on my back bench makes it a...
