I just bought one of the steel containers made especially for such purpose. I think it was about $60 on Amazon. I increased the safety by putting a galvanized old bucket inside of it with water in...

Rick, you may want to try a sheet of pegboard, cut to the size of your bench, as an accurate way to layout the hole positions. Just put a circle around the pegboard holes you want to use and ignore...
Joe, see Dennis Tebo's post with photos further down, that's the saw. You can get an idea of the small scale by comparing it to the left and right miter slots of the full size table saw.
Yup, that's the one that I have too. It truly is a masterpiece. Bob Michaels.
Joe, I will try to post photos tomorrow.
If you don't mind spending some bucks Proxxon and others make mini table saws for people who do model railroad buildings. About 7 years ago, when I was interested in a mini table saw for small work...
Thanks Mel.
I'm making a 4' x 5' exterior sign board for mounting a few commercial tenants individual sign boards on. The sign board is a sheet of 3/4" MDO epoxied (West system) to a 1/2" sheet of MDO. That's...
That is a beaut. 30" wow!!!
Thanks, Ed.
I have been using Fein MultiMaster for years and it's an amazing tool. I have a project repairing a free-standing directory sign that is not near power so I purchased a bare DeWalt 20 volt Max multi...
I would also be interested to hear what blades other people use and where they buy them. I have been using the corded Fein MultiMaster for years with expensive Fein blades. Just bought the Fein 18...
Julian, I have pretty much the same L shaped setup with wood edging & open squares to slide the clamps in. Mine has been in a 4' x 8' white laminate outfeed table for several years. Very handy. ...
Same as Paul Girouard.
Fred, my wife always cleans and saves used cottage cheese containers as well as deli containers & other round or square food containers for my use to mix 2 part epoxy. I really love West System...
Has anyone tried the Air Shim or Air Shim Pro and what are your comments? I would appreciate your opinions.
Doug, the good news is that cast iron is soft and easy to drill and tap new threads, if necessary. I realize this is a big purchase but once you get past this you'll really enjoy the drill press. ...
Jay, just a wild thought but you might consider hinging the house at the midpoint of the side wall so it opens like a book. Since your home is traditional in style it probably has a center bearing...
Randy, the nozzles are not reusable from session to session for the reason that you stated. I remove and discard the used nozzle at the end of a session and replace the small divided plug into the...
I would follow Jim Becker's response of simply staggering the joints. My preference would be to use longer members and arrange the joints in a random, but sensible, pattern. Use several culls...
I used 4 ball bearing hinges per door when I built frame & panel garage doors out of 2 x material with 1/2"ply panels. These doors were not 200 lbs each but pretty heavy. The 4 hinges were used to...
I agree. They work pretty well for me. I have 2 of them on the lathe and one each on band saw, chop saw, router table, drill press, grinder, sharpening station, belt/disk sander and oscillating...
Thanks, Jason. I think you're right on the money. Since it was less than 24 hrs since I applied the poly, even 120 loaded up. I sanded with 80 and that was loading but I finished up taking it back...
I just stripped an old pine door and brushed clear oil based Minwax quick drying poly over the raw pine. Now, I really don't like the result and was wondering if i can just scuff up the oil based...
I may be misinterpreting your drawing, but, are the small rectangles under the sheets of plywood supposed to be floor joist locations? If so, the decking is not running perpendicular to the joist. ...
