I am going to use biscuits with wood glue for the miter joints. I don't really have equipment or knowledge to do anything else.

Thanks for the recommendation. Do you think a 4x5 ft frame would hold on the steel cleat that's attached to the top only with the side and bottom are just hanging? Wouldn't the weight of the boards...

I want to build a frame (sort of like a picture frame) out of 1x4 weathered boards that's going to be 4x5 ft. The frame (without a back or anything else) will go on a wall to create an area where my...

I need a small portable saw for occasional use. I just sold my big stationary Ridgid table saw because I didn't have space to store it. The table saw spent most of its time on the deck under tarp...

I am a hobbyist too and do only few projects a year. I got three sets of Mirka sanding disks on Ebay (80, 150 and 220 grit). Each box has 50 disks. This was about 2 years ago and I still have more...

I am using Raspberry Pi with Volumio software and have access to hundreds of radio stations. I am actually streaming every day for 10+ hours at home.

Thanks. I will stain and finish first then paint. Will report back with results after I am done (it may be a while).

I am working on a nightstand similar to this one:

The inside is going to be painted and the outside stained with...

Few years ago, I have purchased Craftsman cordless circular saw. I was never happy with it. It was OK for any soft wood that was 1/2" or less but it would struggle with 3/4" plywood. Even with the...

Didn't Stanley Black & Decker bought Craftsman not that long ago?

Wouldn't be easier to tie it to the light switch (off when lights on)? Sort of like the switch controlled wall outlets in rooms?

Thanks guys. I will get the saw setup in my garage and see if I can shorten the Xacta fence rails.

Thanks to a helpful advice from SMC members, I am now an owner of an older Ridgid table saw (model TS2412). The original fence that came with this saw is incomplete (no rails to slide the fence were...

I can do that but that's going to be end of 2017 project when my father in law visits us. He's an electrician. For now, I will have to use the saw on 110V.

Today, I bought the Rigid table saw (model # TS2412) for $125. I haven't started it yet because it is setup fro 220V but motor can be connected for 110V. It came with extension wings, blade guard and...

I understand that safety features are there for a reason and I would definitely would want to have them in my table saw. I also know that experienced users can work without them because they know...

I also found this saw:

According to the seller, fence is included but removed. It is only two towns over so easy to drive to even just to...

The $140 Craftsman saw is already sold (just got a reply from the seller). If not sold, I may check the Ridgid saw for $240 this weekend.

I really appreciate the recommendations. For the past few...

Thanks again for the replies. You guys are right. I am not going to jump into woodworking as a hobby or source of income. I am just looking at having a table saw (or more tools) as a time saver and...

While at some point I may be able to afford $800 saw, there is no way I am going to be able to fit one in my garage as I only have a single car garage. It is a bit longer than standard garages so I...

Thank you guys for all the very informative replies. After your input, I am leaning toward a saw with some of the safety features. Problem is that most used saws either lack those features or parts...

I am pretty new to woodworking. So far, I have built a workbench and couple of reach-in closet built-ins. Both which turned out pretty nice for a first time project. My next project is a big walk-in...
