My favorite part about using the table top buttons is I almost always have a 1" wide scrap from a project, and they're a good use of that material instead of just adding it to my offcuts bin.

I finally got to do some serious cutting on my 17" grizzly bandsaw. I resawed some 8/4 poplar into 4/4 without the saw breaking a sweat. Going from a 1/3 hp 12" saw to 2 hp 17" saw was a big jump,...
I believe there a few exclusions beyond this, but the meat and potatoes of the exclusion list I've been told are "anything with a power cord". I'm always in need of another can or two of my go to...
If I were adapting a non-track saw to a track, this is the method I would use. It meets 80% of the track saw functionality at a very reasonable entry cost.
As a follow-up since I missed one of your questions, when I built my bed, I used a metal support structure like this: https://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Bed-Frame-447S-I-Support/dp/B091G5SFM
I will...
I'm a big fan of the bed bolts. With a good mortise and tenon, they'll lock solid, and if there is ever any movement of the wood, shrinking primarily, they'll let you tighten the legs back up. I've...
Bill, are you talking about a second round of clamping in the same or a similar direction, or in a different direction? I wouldn't hesitate to keep working after 30 minutes if the clamps would close...
I had a router bit spin in a collet once. The collet was integral to the motor shaft (cheap router) and once I removed the bit by destructively opening the collet with a screwdriver, I was surprised...
A hairdryer won't be fast, but any amount of thermal movement should help break the two apart. A heat gun would be better, but I would try the hairdryer if I didn't have a heat gun.
The Columbus store also seems to be doing pretty good. Lots of classes they run, the owner is very nice and I enjoy chatting with them. I also shop there when I can to make sure my dollars are...
Years ago I bought an a118c off Amazon. Its selling point was a capacitor instead of a battery to hold enough charge when the car turned off. Well after a few years of service, we had a really bad...
So I'm not super well versed in car buying, but my experience in the last few years has been dealers giving a number of "x below MSRP, that's our price". Are there places that are still doing the...
I'd be surprised if the threads weren't 1/4" NPT, but I could be wrong.
When I pulled the old drain valves off my compressor to replace with ball valves, the proper size wrench (yes I checked ...
If you're looking at a Hyundai/Kia, I'd make sure you get a quote from insurance using a VIN you'd be interested in buying. Even if it's not affected by the theft issues, some insurance carriers are...
The stock filter bag will let a good amount of fine dust out. Depending on how you set up the shop, you can manage this by wearing a mask, working with the garage door open, and cleaning out the...
I'll second the harbor freight dust collector (the upright one with a separate filter and debris bag). That's what I have in my shop and it's not perfect, but it's a heck of a value. There is a lot...
It's been a while since I've cut dovetails on mine, but I want to saw the big issue with alignment for through dovetails is making sure the same side of the joint is against the stop for each cut. ...
I assumed my shopvac could keep up with my new jointer and planer in my basement the way it did well enough in a garage with a tablesaw (the shops I kept clean with a leaf blower). I want to say it...
Are the 120V outlets you currently have on a 15A or 20A circuit. I've got 2 120V circuits and 1 240V circuit in my shop, everything at 20A. It's been good enough for running a harbor freight dust...
It's been a while since I've watched his videos, so I can't confirm his instructions. I'll add that the saw was very measurably out of plane and the adjustment was a few careful hits with a rubber...
I had a bandsaw that drifted. It turned out the wheels were out of plane. Once I added a riser block and aligned the wheels, it had no drift issues. In that process, I also learned I could fine...
I'll start by saying that the g0513x2bf has been the easiest to move out of anything I've put on my appliance dolly. Once I had one strap secured, moving it around was really easy to balance it on...
Given that a good dust collector filter (not a filter bag) would be looking at 200+ square feet of filter area, I'd be apprehensive about trying to better filter that air through a 4 square foot...
Lee, here is the sketch I have so far. I'm thinking mortise and tenon rails top and bottom with panels on the sides and back, and doors on the front. The doors will hide pull out drawers for...
Long story short, I bought a bunch of 8/4 poplar for an aquarium stand a while back. I cut it into appropriate length pieces for that project so I could get it into my shop and start acclimating it....
