Does anyone have experience with the Kufos UFO-102B Dust Collector or any of their other models? I have been searching numerous brands/models and recently found this manufacturer, but have never...

I fully expect to purchase and install the knobs, but I think I'll drag it out for another couple weeks unless she makes a comment aboutit...maybe present the knobs to her for her birthday:) She's...

Well...after nearly a year of thinking about making end tables they are finally done. Solid mahagony with a drawer on the front. SWMBO would like brushed nickel knobs, but I'm hoping to wait long...

I agree...at 99dB there's no price good enough to put that in my shop. Hearing damage starts in about 15 minutes at that level with no ear protection.

You might also try Middle TN Lumber in Dickson. They're just south of I-40 on Hwy 46. Prices can be a little high though. If you're in Nashville, try Nashville Plywood for your sheet goods, and...

Jerry,
You mentioned that you made full extension wood slides from an article you have...what is the article and is it still available? I am in the process of building a similar table saw cabinet...

Zach,
I'm building a similar bench from oak (red or white or don't know or care). A wonderful friend gave me enough 1/2" thick x 4"-6" wide oak to make a 24"x6' benchtop. My bench consists of a...

Gordon,
I just picked up a scratch/dent/open box Xacta II fence w/out rails for less than half price. I'll end up with about $180 tied up in a $350 fence for a little sweat equity and some steel...

Thanks for all the ideas, that's whats so great about this forum!

Rick,
I saw that bag on someone's post and thought "that's a great idea", then realized I don't have belt guard, and the bag...

Ok, I have an old (1950's) Craftsman contractor table saw that I am in the process of building a cabinet for. I don't have a dust collector (yet), but would like to close off the back of the saw to...

Yesterday I was looking for something to clean my table saw blades and I found something that works great..."Purple Power"! I had bought some at Advanced Auto or Autozone to clean/degrease...

I've made about 6 cartridge/antler pens with no splitting problems either. The antlers I useder were all well dried (a year or more) so that probably helps keep them stabilized. I have used CA...

Hey Wilbur,
I'm working on my bench doing similar work. I don't own a jointer or planer, so I get to use the hand planes. I thought it would be a lot of work, but mostly I like it...it's quiet and...

I have recently started using the Freud 24t thin kerf rip blade and love it! I haven't tried others, but I get great smooth cuts with this one.

Dan,
1. I would let the lumber acclimate for a couple of weeks without any ripping. If you need to cut them to 7' to store them, I don't see that giving you any troubles later.

2. If you're...

I have more praise for Woodcraft stores after this morning's event's. A one month old Freud Combo blade lost a tooth while cutting some antler for a cartridge pen I was making for my nephew's...

if you can afford the extra price for 2' in height, by all means go for it. You won't be disappointed! You'll get better light distribution with a taller ceiling and you can store taller pieces of...

That's a great idea Jon! Set up a small board with some dowels, slip the brass tubes over them and paint them to match. See...I knew you more experienced turner's would have a simple solution. ...

Thanks for the tips on painting the tubes, I hadn't thought of that. It almost seems too simple, I normally make it harder than it should be. I'll also take time to do more research on chucks...

Hello to my fellow turners! I hope you have a great Easter weekend planned. I have a couple of questions since I'm a newbie to turning wood. BTW, this slope is extremely slippery and fun.:D

1....

Thanks for the advise. I'll start looking for some dedicated blades, and maybe a 1.5HP motor. Thanks again fellas.

I have an older Craftsman 10" TS (1952-54) with a 1hp motor and freshly sharpened Nicholson thin kerf combo blade. It seem to bog down while cutting stock 2" or thicker (rip or crosscut). As a hobby...

Thanks for the advice. I had a feeling you would answer that way, but since I have never done this type of work, I thought I would check. I think my friend will probably end up with some of the...

I just picked up some short (24") pieces of Purpleleaf Plum 4"-6" diam from my father-in-law and would like to make boards out of this for some small boxes/pens/etc. I don't have a bandsaw. Do you...

Matthew,
My wife and I bought a table and chairs from an unfinished furniture store and the wood species was Parawood. I stained it with Red Mahogony and it turned out really nice. Then recently...
