I've recently used Dewalt, Bosch, and Porter-Cable ROS side-by-side. I don't like the PC - the dust collector keeps getting knocked off by the cord (this wasn't a problem with my old PC ROS) and the...
I second ereplacementparts.com. They provide "obsolete" replacement parts. Weird stuff happens on the business end of manufacturing. Turns out companies/brands sell rights to selling replacement...
I prefer the sticky backed sandpaper for big sanders and H&L for handhelds. I imagine a H&L set-up on a big disc would give a bit. You might not want that. I often use mine for sanding to a line. ...
I do this. I can pick up saws, chisels, and braces for next to nothing. I've got so many chisels that I can make matching sets from ones I've bought individually. I've built more than one rack to...
It's worthless. I'll do you a favor and dispose of it for you. Seriously, rough cut random width walnut (not necessarily figured or graded) runs about 4 bucks on the low end around here (St. Louis...
Perhaps add pocket screws underneath the shelves. That would hold them in place, but wouldn't help to solve the joint failure mystery. Without a doubt epoxy is stronger than wood glue, but I've...
Count me as impressed! Nicely done.
Wow. That's a once-in-a-lifetime score. Hopefully, I'll do that one day.
I didn't make the show again this year. Truthfully, there wasn't much of a draw. I reads the email they sent out. The advertised "show prices" were no better than what I can order online. I was...
I just replaced the pads on two sanders. They needed replacing a year or two ago, but I kept holding off until the second one finally quit holding discs. It's like getting new tools. I'd go with...
If they fit and work that would be welcome news.
I think you're going to have to look for a compatible battery from a third party. I was in the factory shop today picking up my planer. I asked about PC 18v LI batteries and was told they quit...
I learned about pocket holes! Not fine woodworking, but they have a place. I needed a shelf in the shop and made a nice looking one in 1/2 the time I normally would have spent. No need for...
I have a Lumber Wizard. It has worked well for me. It's supposed to work to a depth of six inches. That might be an issue if you are sawing logs. I've only really needed it for thinner material -...
I also have this vise. I don't use it too often (I don't carve too often), but I am impressed with the quality. It's sturdy, easy to use, and easy to maneuver the project into different positions.
Jeff,
I've had good experiences with the sales guys at Rockler in St. Louis. Always very courteous. I'm sure they were trying to be helpful. Sometimes they're limited to what they have to sell....
That's higher than here in the St. Louis region, at least for the domestic hardwoods I buy. I can buy S2S cheaper than this. That said, there are places around here that charge about what you quote...
I mallet or two is always useful. Tool handles are too, but I'd rip the blank down closer to size before turning.
I made a jig using three pieces of mdf (it was handy). Glue two of these together, one of top of the other so you have a 1.5 inch board (trim if needed so you have a true edge). Drill holes the...
I bought a nice old Stanley miter box for $2 at a local auction. There is a time investment. I go for fun and enjoy the experience so it's not a hassle for me. Many auction sites have online...
