Can anyone recommend any good lumber yards for domestic and exotic lumbers in Jacksonville or Charleston. I'll be driving from Savannah to both areas within the next month and wanted to take pick up...

Jack, basically the 12x6 would be facing up where the 6 inch port is straight down. So cutting a rectangle in the table top behind the saw and creating a box with angles shaped towards the middle if...

I have a 12" sliding miter saw on my bench at my new shop. My old shop, I had a 6 inch pipe from up above to just a square box around the saw.

In my new setup, I am running the 6 inch piping down...

It has angled rafters from the top plate. Good thing you said that because I also thought about doing that to tie into a middle free standing rack anyways so that just goes to make me feel better on...

Jim, what do you mean by spanning between the walls?

Thanks for the tips John! I buy deck screws 2 or 3 boxes at a time because I build just about everything shop or yard related using them. I'm not a nail person except when building walls. But for...

Thanks John, meant to mention that I am going to use 4x4's to upgrade the walls. I do like that idea and it's not much extra cost.

The horizontal support you speak of, should I do that at the...

Andrew, I like your method and think that might be the way I go instead of mine. Your shelves are a lot deeper than mine will be.

John, trust me I completely understand your method, but I am not...

Ok, so I have....ALOT of lumber. I bought a storage shed full of cherry, white oak, mahogany, and some various other woods. I have a 10x16 shed that I want to put it in. The shed was built by a...

Great advice John. I will be using reverse for sanding right now. Might use it for more later on, but that's the only intended use as of now.

Thank you Adam! Was really hoping to find someone that had the combination for their opinion and glad I did.

Hey guys, haven't been here in a while. Irma flooded my shop last year and took my Rockler mini lathe with it. Wife asked what I wanted for Christmas and I've had my eyes on the Nova 1624 II lathe...

369217369218369216369215Does anyone have any ideas on a good dust collection setup for a 12 inch sliding compound miter saw. It is mainly used for 90 degree cuts, however, I do use it for 45 degree...

I have the Hitachi 12 inch dual bevel compound sliding miter saw and absolutely love it. It's the C12RSH2 and set me back about $400 at Lowe's. I think theyre 450 but I had a %10 off coupon and got...

Mark, even with a brand new really sharp bit on the shaper or router table, I still have to sand a good bit to blend it all together.

I do, but I hate the annoying sound of a pneumatic sander haha. I have used it before. I just like the feel of my other sanders more.

Bradley, I do not but that's something I am probably going to invest in very soon. I just spoke with a friend of mine tonight about a Supermax. The biggest sanding issues I have are how I round my...

Thank you Mark for the extremely kind words. I started doing boards aout 5 years ago and I do so many of them in so little time that even actually buying lumber to supplement the colors, I end up...

Bradley, unfortunately I think you're right. I have people coming back year after year and don't want to change that. I think I just need a sanding apprentice.....

Pete, that board looks great...

Marc, I hate scrapers so that's out the window haha. I have thought about that, but it's probably quicker to sand 10 times than try and mess with a scraper as far as my skillset goes with them.

Thanks guys, I have sanded to 220 and then wet sanded 220 again, and then oiled a board, and tested and after just 2 or 3 washes, it's fuzzy again. My method is the only way I've tried so far that...

368802368802So every year I make cutting boards for Christmas and sell for extra Christmas money. They're scraps from everything of the previous year. The first time I made them I sanded to 220 and...

Awesome, thanks for the input guys!

Ok, so I lucked out on a Epilog mini 30 watt through an auction and I finally got it up and to my surprise, it fired up and started engraving. I do not have a cutting table for it. I see epilog...

Looking forward to seeing the shop built and good luck Jeff!

Let me just add that I'm extremely jealous since I only have a 16x30....
