Yep, a laptop - old but functional kinda like me - with a wireless connection to the house. I'm trying to find a small footprint recliner so that me and the crapped out back can take a load off for...

That helps a lot, Glenn. It was mostly the proportions that I was going for. If you get the chance for how the vac gets the dust, if it's other than the holes in the corners of the centerpiece, and...

Ditto, Shawn. I like to rig up some sort of dust collection when I'm using a hand-held router and I can readily accomplish that with some scraps, sometimes a bungee and a few drywall screws driven...

Glenn, buddy, ya gotta give us a better pic of the completed unit and, if you don't mind, how 'bout some overall dimesions. That is waaay nice.

I'm a total 'noob' at the sharpening game so pardon the lame questions Randall;
1. Are you using abrasive compound sticks/ whose
2. Do you need a different cotton wheel for each compound? I'm...

Sorry, Mike, I don't have any personal experience with this unit but here's a thread from 2005 with a pretty thorough discussion. Check it out. I enjoyed it.

Edit: I was having trouble finding...

I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you for granting my wish. Beauuuuuutiful, man. You are fortunate. Now, back to the thread already in progress...

I would never have thought of doing my carving...

Sceeeeeeech!!!!!!!! Let me catch my breath... A '56 Healey?! Oh man, I know that this is a carving forum but... could ya, would ya post a pic... in any condition (the car or the pic)......

Well put, randall. Even a beginner can get into a zone when the knife is right, the grain cooperates and the picture in your head is coming out in the wood itself. Fun stuff! :D

Randall, I'm thinking that you could literally 'break' a fifty- LOL! Very nice stuff. The wife and I took a basic wood carving course offered by the local club via adult evening classes at the...

Another one... oops, Glenn's link pretty much covers what I posted. Note to self: pay attention!

Give Lou Iturra a call (I have the # at home - sorry!. He was very helpful with my beginners questions and he didn't try to rush me to placing the order either. His shop makes their blades to custom...

Just another offering for your container. I located a business that makes chains in custom length for industry. They get their bulk chain in what looks to be 30 gal metal barrels - they look like...

Although not a drill press but still pretty stout is my Shopsmith which I kept for this particular job as well as a sanding station and hopefully a little lathe work. I blew $180 on the mortising...

I'm hoping that you don't mind some input from a newbie. The window in my shop is pretty standard height and I enjoy looking out. Now, a friend of mine took a different tack on the situation. He...

I think taht you hit on it with the stirring between coats. See all answers below in RED.

Thanks to you, Howie, and all who ironed this out for me.

Chiz

I finally finished my Uncle Chiz's coffin flag display box and decided to concoct my own blend for a wipe-on topcoat. I used equal parts of Min-Wax satin, fast drying polyurethane and Woodrcraft...

Hmm, good points to be had in both posts. Thanks. Here's what I'll try. Since I have a limited supply of the blue latex I think that I'll experiment with another color by the same manufacturer. I...

I am planning a cabinet for the shop to be made of BB ply. I would like it to be at least in the same color tone as the blue on the lower half of the walls. I am considering using the same blue...

Hi Darren, I have the same machine and when you have the weight of the machine supported by the Herc-U-Lift there won't be any pressure on those foot-bolts and the nuts. It's a bit of a chore to...

I was able to scavange some laminated particleboard from a CVS drug store closing so I can finally built this table (with a bit of support for the particleboard!). I designed a dust collection box...

Sorry 'bout the moniker, Tod. I wend back thru my CP and don't see how to change the displayed name to 'Chiz Eisenhuth'. Not trying to be coy or anything, honest. I also updated my CP so that it's...

I need opinions and options for a project on my hunting rifle's stock. It appears to be birch with a pretty heavy, matte topcoat which has some deep scratches but not into the wood in most cases. ...

So, what's the 'real' time that I can expect the cherry to look nice before I have to re-sand and topcoat, Jim?

Long time lurker here with not much of value to share but now I need some help. I'm buiding a cherry porch swing - maple striping on every-other seat slat. The porch is an enclosed deck and the swing...
