Garry,

What is the trim wood? Is that Cherry? It looks like quilted maple on the panels, but this screen isn't doing your work justice.

Kevin, that's a pretty cool idea. You bring woodworking "functionality" to an all new level.

Craig, you might consider swapping roles. The dryer hose might not hold up to the constant moving whereas the DC hose is pretty durable.

Thanks Al for the reply. Where would this spring be located if it has one? Something else I can tell you is that the axel for the front rolloer is pushed all the way up against the side wall. This...

I agree with Larry. That's how I get almost all of my wood. And what I don't use, the small stuff, I give to the neighbors for firewood. I wouldn't pay anything.

As I put in another post,...

What is the benefit to the cyclone DC over a regular DC? Everytime I have looked at one, I see the same HP and CFM ratings as regular DC's for less $$$. Plus they take up more space.

I'm not...

My uncle gave me this very stout Milwaukee 4" belt sander a few weeks ago. He said it is pratically new as he never really used it, but it must be 5-10 years old.

I finally tried to use it last...

Thanks Rob for the thorough answer. When you say "inferior" what do you mean? I my mind, a spring is a pretty simply piece of metal. What improvements did you see by changing out? I don't use the...

With all the talk about bandsaws lately (and gloats, congrats guys), it reminds me to ask a question. I am a new bandsaw owner too and new to using one, got a Powermatic about a month ago. ( I...

I came across an ad the other day for a Performax 18/36 sander for $500. Ad said it was a "few" years old and in great working condition. I had convinced myself that I did not need to spend the...

So I take it using PVC for compressed air is BAD??? lol Well if you use PVC after those posts.....


I just have one question, does anyone need 200 feet of 1/2 inch pvc pipe?????? I won't be...

OK, this is an area I am familiar with. But first, Do you have any able bodied guys that can help get the top onto the stand? I have the same model and it only took two of us about 2 minutes to get...

Dave,

I don't know what hardwoods are native to your area, but just a thought. I have a pretty nice racket going on where I am that saves me some serious $$$.

I found a local miller that...

I'm just trying to think outside of the box here, but...

What is the moisture content of the wood you're using? I have not had this particular experience with a router, but I do remember having...

So I'm in the middle of biulding my workbench which will have two columns of drawers and shelves below. I've built the cabinet itself and my next step is to construct the drawers. So here's the...

I usually go the "WD" route with the scotch brite. Then I use a can of brake cleaner spray to pull the oil out, then buff with a protector. If the scotch brite scratches the surface too much and it...

That third video was pretty awsome. I really liked the "pin" idea. I would have never thought of that. Now if I can only build the jig?!?!?

I know I've seen David Marks use a taper jig a hundred times on his show. And although I understand the concept, I can't remember exact method to build one.

Does anyone use a taper jig and have...

Thanks Ken. We're excited. I now have another excuse to hit the shop!!;) You know, to build the baby furniture.

Jackie,

I have the same issue. I forget just how long ago I contributed, but since I read your previous message, I just wanted to follow up in case you are still haeving problems with your...

Don,

I notice you went for the Steel City. How do you like it? I just purchased one and I've only gotten as far as assembly and toying. Just curious if you have accumulated some hours to give...

I use it on the underside of my crosscut sled and it works very well. I also put it on the skid of my jigsaw to prevent scarring.

Thanks guys. Just a suggestion without knowing the history. I appreciate the explanation.

Cool. Dave & Rob thanks for the detailed answers. Now, any suggestions on how to go about finding the stuff cheap? I went by both Depot and Lowes. One had a whole two pieces and the other was...

If I could only convince my wife to give up the basement for a shop with a "house footprint" !!!! I'm jealous...but,

Have you built your assembly table yet? If not, integrate some large, thin...
