There is a real simple method, no jig building, safe, fast, accurate. Let's hope I can put this into words. Use the bandsaw. (that part is easy), cross cut some boards the thickness you need,...
Back to an early question, the mini-split consist of wall mounted inside unit, 2-3" hole in wall, tubing and control wiring connected to small outside compressor, power feed goes to the outside unit....
If budget is a major issue, then absolutely try the Narex mortise chisels as sold at Highland. Metric sizes, well machined, hone to shaving sharpness easily, nice handles, edge seemed to hold up for...
Yes it works fine for wide blades. I just did two wide blades last night, starting with rough old blades for a Stanley 8 and a 4 1/2. I had tried it a couple months ago, using the roller clamping...
You all gave that poor guy a such a hard time. Well he sold it. Got two bids, first for $12, upped to $16 & change. Now aren't you all ashamed. Ray
I always pickup at the terminal, shipping is cheaper, there is still occasional forktruck damage, but then we (me and friends), unload and move in. Don't have to miss work to meet a truck, save a bit...
The appraiser is generally correct. The late 1800's square pianos are nearly worthless as musical instruments, and nearly impossible to sell as antique furniture, some are more empire style and less...
I had not heard of a 203, so I just looked it up on the stanley history site, blood and gore. They state that it is a smaller less bells and whistles, similar to the 60, but without adjustable...
I don't think I sure would do anything but drill a pilot hole roughly the size of the thinnest part of the nail, and let the nail take care of the rest of it. I have been using square cut nails in...
I went through this same discussion before I finished my shop. I went with drywall and a french cleat at about 80 inch and 50 inch. I marked the studs on the floor with permanent marker, and screwed...
Not to be impolite or anything, but who is Phil and where can we see the baffle modification for HF DC. I searched SMC for Phil and DC and did not find anything. I am not brand new here, but don't...
If you are going with framed wooden floor, concerned about how to have essentially floor joists connect to concrete slab, then the next question is why spend the money pouring a slab you won't use,...
or at least there was earlier this afternoon. starting price about $9 Ray
Not to highjack your chat, but what is the difference in the Bosch 4000-09 and the 4100-09. The boxes and web descriptions seem to say the 4100-09 has digital read on fence. But looks like it is...
I was in exactly the same dilema. (1) Buy a Grizzly 1023 now, or (2) wait until I had more money and buy the Sawstop, or (3) buy some other newer saw with riving blade, or (4) wait to see who makes...
I'm confused. A card scraper is sharpened with a burnisher and a turned edge. Are stanley 80 sharpened the same way? How is a scraper plane sharpened? If like a plane, at what angle? Ray
Sorry for the double post. I just put my box of cutters back in the box and decided to look at the small 1914 stanley tool catalog that was in the box. By looking at the picture of the 45 and...
The box that came with mine - contains 20 cutters - all shown on label "cutters for stanley plane, No. 45". But the enclosed cutters are number 1, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 18 1/2,...
I haven't used the Veritas, but looked at the pictures. It looks to be top use only with tool rest, all of which is included in the WorkSharp. But the beauty of the WorkSharp is the speed and...
I am redoing a #5 stanley plane. The machine screw that mounts the tote is corrodes badly. I went to the hardware store to buy one. The thread didn't match up with any of the available machine...
How do i know if a board at HD or Lowe's is SYP. They don't appear to be labeled, or are they? Ray
I went to the Indy show and actually had a good time. Grew up in Indy and used to go to the statefair and hear the hawkers. It was like being a kid again. Bought some Jet clamps, Kreg kit, and a few...
Appreciate the answers. I anticipated several of the responses. I have enough space that I would like a dedicated dado station. A dedicated TS is a bit expensive, haven't mastered the router guide...
Can I cut dados with a sliding miter saw. Will dado stack safely fit on arbor? How big? Most sliding miter saws have adjustable depth stop. Looks like it could be done and would make nice dado...
