Mike, I did the seven for six deal on these blades. They worked well on oak & epoxy. However I just went to the site & multimaster blade sales are temporarily suspended.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate all viewpoints. I made up a couple of test corner blocks out of 2 x 4's. Also made up several test miters with a range of angles.

Realized that several of...

Through the years the whole house has been gutted out. Nothing original left. It's not a fancy house. It's a mansard which was the run of the mill house back then. I may offend some people, but when...

I am using 7/8"x3 1/2"x6" plinth blocks at the door casing bases. The ??? I have is should I also use plinth blocks at the corners? Should they be full size or split in half? What height should I...

Don't know where you are located, but I think this site has what you want.

I also have this one. Never a problem using it in home handyman mode. I bought it when Amazon had it on sale for $188. With Fathers Day coming up there might be deals at Toolking,...

This is one of those "Why didn't I think of that" moments.
Good job Dino.

Thanks Jim,
I didn't want to break any rules with a direct link.

This is actually a carving from a single block of Vermont sugar pine. Carved & then hand painted included the box. I've met Randall & seen other examples of his work. Posted it here to get the widest...

I just checked at the Boulterplywood site in Somerville. They have the BB at $69.00 for the 5x5 sheets.

I've got a 3M mask. I can only wear it without my glasses. Can't wear the dust masks either. Have never tried a "pigsnout". Like I said, I have a small face. Heck, decades ago when I was in the Army,...

Do any of you have both a small face & wear glasses. I have never been able to find ANY mask, respirator, etc that does not severely fog up my glasses. Not being able to see while using sharp...

I forgot about this on mine & powered it up without closing the box. Only took about a minute to let some of the smoke out.

I also used 1/2" ply that I pre-painted white. It's great just being able to screw in anywhere.

If you know anybody that has a boat, see if you can get some of the shrinkwrap. I've used gallons of West epoxy & once cured it will just pop off.

Have you checked Boulter Plywood in Somerville. 1/2" 5X5 is $49.00. 4X8 is $95.00. Still not cheap.

This is my goto tool. Japanese combo square from Woodcraft.

I bought a Dewalt to use on my EZ guide. What a POS! Don't remember the model # but it has a composite base. One corner of the base is a cut away design. The base warped & consequently rocks on the...

My grandfather who was a general contractor passed away in 1964 when I was 16. In 1979 my grandmother was selling her house & I took some of the items.

I was recently cutting down a tree &...

GB bars have a good reputation. Most of the Oregon chain is a little soft. If you do your own sharpening, that can be a good thing. If you want sharp longevity, see if you can get some Stihl chain to...

I started with a Coleman 20 gal airless. NOISY. Picked up a lowes clearance 60 gal 3 cylinder 14.5 cfm CH with a 100% duty cycle. It's wonderful. Had to put up a few hundred feet of oak molding I...

If the floor was put down with the old cut nails through a tongue, once you disturb the initial hold, then they should pop right up. If they were put in with any other nails; have fun.

Unless the epoxy you are using is a special formulation, I don't think it is UV stable. It will hold fine onto the wood, it will just degrade from the sun rays.
