    If you live in the Menard's footprint, I noticed they're selling one identical to the HF version. Can't remember exact price but if I recall correctly it was about the same as HF. Not sure if they're...

    I picked one up for $30 for a current basement remodel project. It's been well worth the price. Used to cut drywall flush to rough door openings, scrape carpet pad glue off concrete, flush cut shims ...

    Hi Scott.

    Regarding spray guns....In my opinion the Gravity Feed guns give the best bang for the buck.....assuming you have a decent sized compressor. I use a Kremlin Gravity Feed gun. Not sure...

    Scott - True oils (ie Tung oil or Boiled Linseed Oil) never fully harden or develop a gloss shine. They are an "in the wood" type finish rather than an "on the wood film" type finish. While fine for...

    Thanks guys!

    Dave - that's exactly what I was looking for!

    Jamie - I like your idea too, especially the spline idea. Might have to try that.

    Thanks,

    I picked up a couple of the $5 Woodriver rabbiting bits yesterday. I was told they are the same bit as the Woodcraft house brand bits. Never tried them before, but figured for $5 its hard to go...

    I have that exact compressor. I have used it a few times with my Kremlin gun. It works fine, the compressor cycles frequently, but I've never run out of air. I'm not sure I would want to spray a...

    What to do with leftovers....

    They're not scraps, they're leftovers right? ;) Leftovers just waiting for the next project. They're only scraps if I can't figure out something to do with them.

    Some time back there was a thread about straightening a cheap aluminum BORG ruler/straightedge on a jointer. IIRC, the poster jointed it straight with no notable damage to his steel jointer knives. ...

    23 Gauge Pin Nailer - works fine, shoots pins below the surface, never misfires. It doesn't have a soft tip so it tends to leave a small ding in your workpiece, I solved that by taping on a piece of...

    Go for it, you'll love it. I own a Powermax and use it constantly. It fits the hand very well. Plenty of power for driving screws. OK at drilling but the speed is a little slow.
