    Interesting...but why do you believe the Husky to be of superior quality? Is it made in the US? Also, if the unit is smaller, that is smaller motor and tank, does that mean anything in terms of...
  2. Tell me what is WRONG with HF compressors..

    ...you can tell me anything you want good or bad but here is what I want to know: Have you had experience with their $89 specials? They have a couple of them. One is a two tank, 5 gal unit, the other...

    Why, James? Are their compressors dangerous or just unreliable? Would appreciate more support for your position. Thanks.

    That's a killer, Vaughn. Nothing like experience to make you love/hate something. If my time was worth real $$$$$ I would not take a chance. One day lost with a helper on the payroll and you have...
  5. Has anyone had bad experience with HF nail guns?

    Horbor Frieght has a little brad air gun on sale for $19.99 down from $49.99. I don't use them much but I don't want to fight with a tool that does not work properly either. They also have a couple...

    I thought the same thing but I'll bet the highly figured stuff is out of this world expensive. I guess if you made some VERY high end furniture it would be worth it at $100/ft. It is certainly some...

    Scott, are you going to get those logs carbon dated? It would be interesting to know exactly how old they are. Another question I have is whether the logs were buried as the result of some particular...

    Anybody heard from Scott Banbury?

    I hope his ancient log project yielded some usable wood but I would not be surprised if it did not. From what I have heard, logs that have been submerged for a mere 100-200 years can be so inundated...

    Thanks, Glen, I like the tri-fuel idea even though it costs nearly as much as the generator itself. There is also a wealth of information on noise attenuation. Hopefully I can come up with a good...
  12. Noise reduction for portable generator?

    Has anyone ever built an enclosure for a small (4000w) generator so that you can run it in a suburban neighborhood without driving everybody nuts? I was thinking a little wooden structure with...

    Scott, I spoke with one of your fellow Woodmizer owners yesterday. I told him about your project and asked if he would be interested in obtaining some ancient logs. He said the problem was that in...

    Scott-you are saying that these logs were buried in mud some 12-15K years ago? Wow, seems like more loggers would be out there trying to get those logs. Can't wait to see the lumber. What does that...

    Best value: HF 1/3hp drill press: $44.95 from the store. I am sure they turn out a few that cut oval holes but mine has been fine. Someday I will buy a bigger/better one and dedicate the little one...

    Thanks for the kind words Kurt. Actually it is not the "Craftsman" that revolts people as much as the fact that Ryobi makes the 22811. In fact, when I realized Ryobi made my saw, I was not thrilled...

    Roy, I have a Craftsman 22811, which is a Ryobi BT3000 in disguise. The blade and knife go straight up and down together. It is a controversial saw because it is aluminum and has a universal motor...

    #10838 spokeshave?

    Does this model number ring a bell with anybody? It was given to me from somebody's estate and it was still in the plastic bag with an impact printer printout. I don't think it has ever been used.

    I found a guy here in Atlanta that has a Woodmizer portable sawmill and he graciously cut up a dogwood stump for me. I had hoped it would have a lot of crotch wood but it did not; some but not much....
