    This has occurred to me but to be honest, I'm probably better off focusing on earning more money than hauling off debris. I'll have more decisions to make when the first quotes come in.

    Door options

    Also, I have a thing for sliding barn doors. Are they cheaper or more expensive than garage doors? Can you insulate a barn door or will it always have bad gaps?
  3. Where can I save money on my shop build, where shouldn't I go cheap?

    I have a pretty large stable (38x50ft) that I'm having converted into a woodworking shop. On a related note, I'm also having about 22x50 added on for automotive stuff. It's a pretty large bill to...

    I had something similar a while ago. I built a box for it and lined it with carpet that I had left over in the attic. I used weather seal around the door. It didn't make it silent but it did make...

    Looks like a good time. I really enjoy the productive days in the shop.

    Not that you asked for advice but you might consider turning your saw around. If you do, you'll have a pretty nice work...

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that a (S)CMS is nicer for long boards. I have a good sled (smartmiter) that I get a lot of use from. However, without a (S)CMS or RAS I don't really have...

    Shop Stereo

    I've been thinking about upgrading my 15 year old SuperRadio to something better. If possible, I'd like to do it right but for under $150 or so.

    At first I considered a "microsystem" (example )...

    The perfect fit would slide together by hand yet still be tight enough to maintain it's 90 degree angle when you're only holding one piece of assembly. However, I've been known to bang fit a...

    I have the yorkcraft jointer. It works nicely for me. The beds stay parallel, it has plenty of power, the fence stays vertical, and the DC works well. Having said that, I'd like more cuts per inch...

    Nice review. I have the 20" version and I'm just as pleased. Unlike you, I tend to hog off the full 1/8" until the last pass and it handles 20" of hard maple and hackleberry (related to elm)...

    I have an inexpensive 8" jointer (Yorkcraft). I've never regretted my decision to go with 8" for a second. As a matter of fact, someday I'd like to go bigger. If I was in the market today I'd get...

    I wrote a review on my website of the 20" yorkcraft planer I bought a few months ago. I'm going to post a link even though I can't quite seem to get my arms around the SMC rules. It's a...

    Indeed, it's a lot better but it's important to remember that Oneida does not have a good record when it comes to representing their competitors projects. I saw this on their web site, "Woodworkers...

    I laughed out loud at this. Attaboy!

    Frankly, as I was reading your post I was thinking that you were kind of lucky that all your mistakes were happening at the start of your project. If I mess...

    I can't tell you how much I'd like to have one of those. Please keep the update posts coming. With a little luck I'll follow in your footsteps someday.

    Are we sure they are better? I'll reserve judgement until they are proven. Sometimes the bigger batteries don't last as long. For normal batteries, I thought this was a pretty good article:...

    I'm pretty happy with this truck. A full sized truck would be better as a lumber hauler but even this one is kind of big to take around the corner to pick up a gallon of milk (or whatever). Coming...

    You bought that? I was looking at it every day. I just couldn't pull the trigger because I'm so far away and I already have a perfectly fine 8" jointer. Still, you have something special. Keep us...

    I got the 1 1/2" by 3" steel from my father in law's garage. It was under about 2 tons of other clutter. Sorry, that's not much help. :)

    I just built it yesterday so I've only used it on a test piece or two. The height isn't that critical. If the board is angled slightly up or down it still planes just fine. I didn't have any...
