It seems to me that someone on here said something like this; "it's not IF an accident will happen - it's WHEN it will happen." These words stuck with me ever since I read them.

Just so you know... The first thing I did was to take off the bags and bring them to the landramat... couldn't talk the wifee into using her machine.:rolleyes:
Next... cut out the guard on the...
Funny this should come up... I've been making doors for cabinets this past week using pocket holes. I do use glue. It may not offer a LOT of strength to the joint but anything is better than...
Now there's something that I didn't think of... cutting out the guard. When I took the hose off to unblock it I noticed that the blockage started at around 1/3 of the hose and stopping at the guard....
Hi all...
I have the DeWalt DW 734 12-1/2 thickness planer and love it... it does everything and more for my needs. However, I'm trying to find a solution to the mountain of chips that it makes....
Quite a while back after just getting my pocket hole jig I discovered that I could get 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 screws for more than less than what Kreg wants for their screws - course thread. They are...

I have 2 that are a 30 minute drive out in the country. One of them isn't very good... nor are their prices. But the other one is a thing of beauty. There's any kind of wood you would want. He is...
I am in the market for a new band saw. However, here in Montreal, Canada I'm am really limited in my choice of machine. I have to get it from 1 of 2 big box stores. I have Home Depot who carry the...
Yep... straight edge and circular saw to cut full sheets. Just too dangerous trying to do it myself on the table saw. Plywood is expensive here and I would hate to mess it up trying to wrestle with...
Hi...
I bought my house - a fixer-upper - 9 years ago and the first thing I did was install new hardwood floors throughout the house. No experience in that department - just figured, "how hard...
Gotta say that it was the best 6 bucks I've ever spent!!! I just happened to stumble over this site... wow... it's like I found a pot of gold!!! This is my first post but I'm sure you'll start...
