i have bessey k kody clamps and the glue is titebond 3. so aside from wiping off the clamps when the glue is still wet is there any good tricks to getting off dried titebond 3? (it gets in the...

my local woodworking machine store had one at their open house last month (li am on vancouver island, canada). i looked at it but not really closely as i am not in the market for a new scm saw right...

i have a cadex 23 guage pin nailer that will take up to two inch pins.

on an unrelated note, isn't aromatic cedar quite soft? how would it last after years of use and abuse inside a toy box? i have never used it so i can't say just wanted to throw this out for the...

what is the traditional spacing for hinges on doors (entry doors). i think they are done symmetrically now so that doors can be flipped either, but didn't it use to be something like 7" from the top...

the most important thing to take into consideration is that the bessey are red and the jorgensons are orange....so it really comes down to what colour palettes you have used to decorate your shop. (i...

my vote would be for option #2. go with the 1/4" dowel, i think the 1.25" of wood/tenon would be plenty strong.

that is a very good point....and something i would have figured out on about the third side. :D

the only problem i have had in the past with mahogany is that you sometimes get reversing grain which isn't the most fun to plane but other than that it is a beautiful wood which is nice to work...

what if you were to take a slot cutting router bit (something like this, say 1/8" thick so you don't waste too much wood)....
...

at this point i haven't set a budget, not to say that i have an unlimited amount to spend. i just don't cost to be my first deciding factor. i am more concerned with quality and functionality.

i am looking to upgrade the fence on my bandsaw (17" general international). at this point i am looking at the kreg fence that lee valley has. does any one have recommendations on a good after...

does that mean that if my machines have 4" ports there is no point using anything bigger than 4"?

i have a smallish shop (20x20) and i have a 1.5 hp steel city dust collector.

my plan was to run a 5" main line (maybe 20 or feet long with two elbows) to a central area then branch to a table...

i agree that most better quality planes when well tuned can produce really fine shavings. it might be that infill planes tended to made with slightly higher bed angles (47.5 or higher) and because...

you could even try a local sign maker, some one who makes those magnetic signs for vehicles. they might even have offcuts that you could get for a deal.

can't really argue with that. so simple.

if i were doing this i would mark out the mortise with a mortising gauge on both sides of the joint (making sure to reference off of the same face) and if it were me i would drill out the waste from...

has anyone had any experience shipping grizzly tools into canada? is there duty charged on these tools?

also, is that a cup holder?

that is a really beautiful work bench. you should be very proud. i quite like the inset pencil sharpener....that is sweet (i might just have to steal that idea!).

what are those black lines in...

have it. used it. love it.

easy to install and use. it is a well designed tool and i am usually not a fan of "add on style" gadgets (which this is most definitely not).

cheers,
