This may seem crazy, but I'm looking for a tip on how to glue up the above referenced joint when the mortise is facing the Earth. Any tricks to keep glue from running with gravity and messing up your...

It seems pretty far if if you're going vertical with ducting. I've got a similar Delta unit in my single car garage shop and I ran everything on the floor along the edge of 2 walls. The DC is in the...

Steve,

This table will be assaulted by small children on a regular basis. It'll need a durable top coat. I was thinking that the General's gel finish would work because of the urethane. From what...

Hmmmm.... I knew there were other properties in the Minwax product, but I assumed some tung oil was involved. I've already passed this step in the schedule, and it looks pretty good as is. Am I going...

I'm finally finishing a coffee table I've been working on for some time. My finishing schedule looks like this...

- transtint dye mixed in water. .5oz dark walnut/.5oz golden brown per quart.

I need some advice for wooden slides for the 8 drawers in the piece of furniture I'm building. They're not that large... with the largest being about 19"W, 15D, 8"H. The faces are black walnut and...

Looks like the shellac I have on hand is de-waxed pale. I tested it out on a sample and it, combined with top coats of arm-a-seal, comes out pretty nice.

Any comments on the style of the piece?...

I'm building this largish coffee table with drawers on both sides for my wife in solid walnut with maple insides. I think I'm going to go with a natural finish. Probably a coat of orange shellac,...

Thanks for the advice guys! ... I think I'll try it on one piece and see how it turns out before I start ripping the the rest.

Being a novice, I don't generally work with stock above 4/4. However, I'm about to get started on a walnut coffee table and I want the top to be 1" thick. My local hardwood place only had 4/4 and 8/4...

I've been thinking about coating my garage floor with epoxy too. It has paint, oil, and dye stains that aren't very attractive.

For those of you who went the epoxy route, how does that finish do...

I have a small Delta jointer as well. It's a JT360. I've been using it for a couple of years and I've never been happy with it's performance... until just this weekend. I really recommend getting a...

For me the sander wouldn't really be for woodworking. I'm restoring an old truck, which is turning out to be a multi-year project. I have compressor envy. People with big compressors have more...

I'm getting a new compressor primarily to try my hand at spray finishing. I'm considering the 60 gallon 3HP Ingersoll Rand unit. However, in doing some research around all the things I "may" someday...

What is the smallest compressor you can successfully use with common spray gear this days? I'm about to finish a larger piece and I know if I do it by hand it's not going to come out the way I need...

You really need both to cut down on the time it takes to make a board flat at a specific thickness. If I could have only one it would probably be a jointer. You can't make flat boards with a...

or place that can turn a set of maple knobs for a project I'm finishing up? I'm trying to match this....

Thanks.

I'm making a desk to match the piece below for my daughter's bedroom. I need to get the colors right. It's hard maple and probably dyed the 2 different colors. One is sort of cranberry and the other...

Hope someone here can point me in the right direction. I'm building a student's desk and hutch to match the maple armoire in the images below. It's part of a discontinued collection from Ethan Allen....

The 2440 kit is on sale at Amazon through the weekend for $117.00 with free shipping.

Oh... and the .125 WWII is on sale too.

Rant on.

The first PM2000 shipped by Amazon arrived defective. Here are a list of the problems:

1. When raising the blade the whole trunnion would wander towards he fence by at least .020.
...

That turned out really nice. My wife would love it.

I have a 50" fence in the single car bay of my garage. It takes up a lot of space, but the extra extension is nice. If you do end up getting 50" fence you'll need wheels. I keep my saw pretty close...

I recently purchased the Incra 1000SE. It's very accurate. It's nice to be able to conveniently get perfect angles all the time. I like it a lot.

Looks like this was a mistake and the drill press has been removed from the Sears web site. I shoulda jumped on it earlier!
