I was at my accountant's last week and asked him about the stimulus payment and he just smiled and said "Don't expect to get anything". It seems that working hard and being frugal has put me into a...

A faster shutter speed will minimize the effects of mirror slap just as it reduces movement when shooting fast action. The shutter is opened and closed so fast that the motion is not noticeable. ...

I got mine through Lee Valley.

The February Consumer's Report arrived today and they rate various elliptical machines. You can find it in the periodical section at most libraries.

Quote: "Ya didn't say where your from, but I'll assume ya don't have a neighbor you can borrow the use of some of the bigger power tools like joiner or planer, so I'd say get a 3hp TS, 8" joiner,...

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a sharpening system and this will help me decide which one to get.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the advice. I'm just starting to get serious about woodworking and find the experience of everyone on this forum to be invaluable.
Thanks again,
Tom

I've read with great interest the discussions on Tormek and Jet sharpeners. They appear to have a common design with a vertical wheel that is cooled with water. The grinding is done on the outer edge...

I would recommend taking the bar and chain to a GOOD chainsaw shop and have them regrind your chain and set the depth gauges to the proper heigth. It should be only $10 - $20 depending on bar...

Rick,
I think that's probably what I'll do, lengthen the slot into the hole. I don't want to go with a longer belt because that will cause even more "slap".

Here's a different twist to the same problem. My Shop Fox 1741 version of this jointer has the slap upon start-up but there is no means of tightening the belt!
The adjustment slots in the...

I'll add to the comments by Paul and Rob and Jason - a hammer drill is the way to go. Don't get a drill with a normal chuck and a hammer feature. They are better than a regular drill but a far cry...

How long does it take for the Members' List to show that one has made a contribution?
I made one a week ago via PayPal and I'm still listed as a member - not a contributor.
Just curious.

Beautiful! Such nice flowing lines.

Jim,
Yep, that should do it. The diagonal supports are what I was thinking of. You made it much more sophisticated than I could have. My solution would have been to start slapping steel together...

Keim Lumber in Charm, Holmes County. They have a great selection of Powermatic, Delta and Steel City.

I've had success using a diamond "steel" made by Henckel, the German cutlery maker. It has a rougher side for when a knife is pretty dull and a finer side for the finished edge. They should be...

I would certainly get it. I had a Craftsman from 1980 or 1981 that served me quite well until I fried the motor when making 70 repetitive cuts in thick material and turning off the saw when I was...

Jim,
My first thought after looking at you pictures is the entire mechanism has a "delicate" look to it. Small tubing and long lengths. If you figure the distance from the attachment point at the...

Lou,
Very nice vehicle. They have been considered the top shelf, light duty, work truck for decades.
I never drove one, but was pulled out of a snow bank near Forsteau, Austria by a Unimog. :o ...

I'm contemplating the same thing with my PM2000. If I come up with anything that works, I'll post it.

Installing door casing and baseboard in my wife's "craft room". Then I have to hang two sets of bypass closet doors in the same room.
When her hobby room is done I can get back to the barn and...

Rick,
I was trying to comment on Red's quote but it didn't look like it in my post. Sorry for any confusion.
Tom

One thing that you might want to check is the chip chute below the cutterhead that slopes down to the collection port. If it is the same as the Grizzley chute it is open on the top and will leak...

I also have seen the rediculous requests building inspectors have made. But since that is well covered I wanted to comment on your choice of T-111 for your walls. In our area, T-111 is very rough. ...
