I've got one of the little HF 3 wheel 1x30 sanders.

Ordered a selection of belts in different grits from Lee Valley, and a leather belt as well.

The thing works great for sharpening and the...

I notice you have an outlet in the middle just above the mantel. Just wondering if you use it, and what you might use it for? I'm in the process of installing a fireplace and it seems like an...

I built a set of those last weekend out of some borg pine kd 2x4 and some doug fir 4x4.

Not a bad little project. Pretty quick and easy.

Been using them the last couple of nights as a support...

Daniel,

I've made cutting boards both ways. The main advantange of the end grain board is not so much for 'hacking' things on it, as the way the wood fibers are arranged is supposed to be more...

Ditto on the Chuck.

One of my first tools I bought was a Grizz drill press. Used it for a while and then decided to check it for accuracy after a few years. The runout on the chuck was a...

She is quite the energetic yellow lab. 6 months old. My previous 2 labs look like slackers compared to her! :rolleyes:

I'm hoping she grows out of it, but knowing labs, that's at least a few...

For our new pup, we are using the 'water dish in a storage tote' method to contain the water.

She actually goes snorkeling and blows bubbles in the water with her nose, then takes a big mouthfull...

Proper winterizing also helps. Biggest thing is to run the thing dry, so you aren't storing gas in the carb. It will get sticky and make things run funny.

One other thing to look for is to make...

What kind of router are you using? You might be able to block access right at the firewall....

Those Cherry pickers really come in handy for more than pulling engines.

I've used mine for loading/unloading a 900# gun safe and other things that are just to big to move by muscle alone

If I recall, when I piped my old shop, I ordered a short piece of 1 inch hi-pressure hydraulic hose from Northern Tools.

Wanted to make sure I didn't constrict the air flow right at the...

I've bought from both Internet Lumber and Steve Wall. I've been very satisfied with both vendors. Lumber has always measured out boardfoot wise and been of nice quality.

Bruce, I know what you mean.

After a year, I just recently started making sawdust again.

Things are still in boxes, and this is really just a temporary shop in my garage until I get real one...

Well, I have just about completed my move, only took a year to do it... :rolleyes:

In order to move the house, it took one big moving van load.

I've moved my shop piecemeal. I've gotten real...

Snakes....

The bugs I can handle. Last few days I've had some big ole dragon flys come in to visit.

I've got some nice little lizards that come in to the garage. They give me a start, but I...

Biggest trick I've found is making sure the saw kerf and the filler of the knot is exactly the same size. Oh, That and making sure to have the blank exactly square and drill dead center...

Very...

I've got a rocking horse that needs building. I've got the wood, layed out the templates on the wood. It's all down to the cuttin, routin, fittin, and gluin.

Maybe some finishing, but don't know...

I'd have to chime in with the advice for getting a pair of compressors.

If all you are doing is a little power nailing, start with a small one.

I just picked up a small oil lubricated craftman...

I made a snakewood roller ball once.

Supposedly the wood was guaranteed not to crack, but crack it did.

Had a CA/BLO finish on it. I dis-assembled the pen, put it back on the mandrel.
...

When I still tried to wear contact lenses, my Eye doc tried so see if I wanted to do that one near/one far thing.

I just never really bought into it and didn't do it.

It sounds interesting,...

I'm not really expecting to have the vision of a twenty year old, but I've been wearing glasses basically my whole life.

I'm already at the point where I playing with my glasses all the time. I...

Just wondering if anyone here has experience with Radiant floor heating systems for older houses.

We've got electric baseboard heating, and while I like the warmth, the electric bills are kind of...

Of course, if it's long enough, you could always cut the pins off the long side and try again...

I use a little wax paper between the bushings and the pen blank. Just makes seperating a bit easier.

And the CA on the bushings? Nothing a little acetone soak can't fix.

Just wondering if anyone here has had Lasik?

Getting to the point where I wear bifocals about half the time.

I like the idea of getting lasik so that I don't need normal glasses, but could...
