I recently completed a coffee table per my wife's request. What makes it different is what is inlaid into the top.
She grew up on a farm in an old two story farm house that was heated with a floor...

The last time I was at Home Depot, I had approx. $75 worth of items in my cart. When I went to check out, the only check out lanes open were the self check out lanes. I am not a fan of these and...

Wow, people always say I make my work benches etc way to strong, but that thing looks like you could drive a truck over it and it would not give a bit.

This is what I use. It is a piece of metal conduit (1" I think) that swings on two arms. I relocated the switch so that a small piece of 1/2" steel conduit bolted on the left leg is in line with the...

I understand that I don't want to twist the top, but isn't that what you are doing by only shimming one corner? It seems like either both front corners or both back corners (depending on which way...

Glenn Bradley,

You made the comment "Lay the blade to 45* and repeat the front to back checks. Mine is out so I will have to shim one or more corners of the top to adjust for this.'

I have the...

I also like my original (black) quick grips, but have some newer (made in china?) versions that are blue and are pure crap. They will not clamp down worth a darn and WILL NOT hold. You can clamp down...

I would think that would make it hard to type --- but maybe you can type well with just one hand :)

I bought my fixtures (T8 bulbs, 4 ft & 4 bulbs per fixture) from a local electrical house in January, 2008 when I built my shop. I have 15 fixtures and did not have any problems until last week. One...

In my previous life (before retirement) I spent many years designing extrusion tooling for PVC pipe. The company I worked for is one of the largest in the US. I designed tooling for pipe as small as...

I have the three legged stand that came with my V3000. It is VERY solid.

I just sent an e-mail (or phoned - don't remember which) to Bessey and asked if I could buy some of the feet. The nice lady just asked for my mailing address and how many I needed. She sent them...

I'll take it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the 35 gallon fiber barrel on mine. I went to the local sheet metal shop and had them make a liner that is about 2 inches smaller in diameter than the inside of the drum and about 2 inches...

I bought a used DJ20 that does not have a mag switch. Would appreciate recommendations on where to get one that does not require taking out a second mortgage.

For my Delta 33 four poster, I took a piece of 1/4" copper tubing and bent it as necessary and stuck a small funnel into it at the top. You have to fill it slowly, but if the fill port on your...

I can give you the angles but only after you decide on what length you want for either the horizontal or vertical axis. Just saying 3 1/2" difference does not mean anything unless you know the...

I have a DJ20 and have the info for these type of adjustments in a PDF. If you want a copy, PM me with your e-mail address.

There is NO WAY to explain that because NO pair of shoes is worth that, no matter who made them or what the color is.:D

I have had rounding problems with square drive bits from McFeely's. I am careful to keep the driver square (in line) with the screw and keep enough pressure down to keep it from jumping out, but I...

I must have been half asleep when I posted. What I should have said was 15 pieces 1/16" thick with room for 1/16" thick cork on both faces.

I can do the layouts very accurately (CAD program), but...

I am making a clamping fixture to clamp pieces in a laminated curve. The parts to be clamped are 9 of pieces that are 1/16” thick. The overall laminated thickness is 1 1/16”

There are a number of...

Can anyone post pictures of Norm's version and the Jake's Chair version so we can see how they compare?

In other words, the rt.2 has the long side of the rectangle 1.414 X the lenght of the short side (or put in terms similar to the golden mean, .707 X the length of the long side of the rectangle gives...

I would just cut a triangle out of a piece of scrap. Use a nail or a dowel near two of the corners. These will ride along the inside arc. Then cut the scrap so that it projects past the inside arc...
