I've turned several pens from Corian and used CA to glue 1/2" thick slabs together. Totally invisible glue line on both white and very pale pink pieces.

I could not agree more, but that's me. I have a 1.75HP contractor-style saw, and will likely upgrade to a 3HP SawStop at some point. I just like the ease of sawing with more HP behind the blade. I...

Justin,

Come on man -- you need to stay current with the latest -- 180gm vinyl. :D

I used this system -- bought it at Woodcraft during a sale. Very high quality. I've had one aluminum block installed for over a year, and have 3-4 more for additional runs once my shop layout...

I think I'd find a new friend to hang out with ... :rolleyes:

Go to the penturners.org website (also known as IAP -- or International Assoc. of Penturners). Search for Rick Herrell. He makes lots of custom lathe accessories, and his tool rests and posts are...

I have a 2HP Laguna, and most debris goes to the barrel. and very little into the smaller filter bag. And certainly not chips. I am assuming that the 2HP and 3HP Laguna units are pretty similar in...

Wes,

Are you painting the trim? If so, maybe pine is OK, but we have Andersen pine trim, and I hate it. Dented really easily, when our kids were young and banging toys into baseboard or door...

I use Private Reserve Easy Flow refills. I've never had a skip from them.

I bought this PC combo set last year for about that price -- it was on sale at Lowe's. And then I used my Lowe's card, and got another 5% off. I really like this set. For my typical driol or...

I bought a bechtop Delta drill press a number of years ago, and some day it will get replaced with a floor model. I just have too many other higher priority wants. It probably meets my needs for 90%...

Mike,

I jsut received a spindle gouge and parting tool from D-Way Tools, so I noticed your comment about the roughing gouge. It is actually slightly over 3/4" (.767"). The shank is turned down...

Scott is right about the difficulty in mastering the skew. My heart would race every time I'd pick up my skew, after having catches at the seemingly least likely time while turning. I stumbled upon...

Well, you can probably find a used one, but not sure they were ever imported. And I'm thinking dust collection was not quite as good as today ... :)

Use a tall, wide-mouth Mason jar, or other tall jar. Strain the lacquer thinner when done, and store in an can marked "Dirty Lacquer Thinner". I buy my mineral spirits and lacquer thinners by the...

Digital calipers make great Imperial to metric converters, and vice-versa. Try to do that on a dial caliper. :D

I have not seen large tools at HD for awhile, but that does not really surprise me. I also own a Ridgid jointer, and bought it at HD because it was on sale. It was built by the same company that...

Congratulations Mac! Living with a basement shop with only a single window (although it is an escape window) I long for an above ground shop with lots of natural light. I think I'd try to find a...

Crazy? No. Poorer? definitely!

I am a hobbyist, so it never has been about an investment that will pay for itself. Everyone has vices (and all of us probably have vises ...) but if it brings...

Julie,

Does your bandsaw manufacturer offer a mobile base? I have a Powermatic, and really need a mobile base. I am going to order the Powermatic base, which is expensive, but I've read good...

Unless you get a large sealed container and soak the bowl for awhile, I'd sure not recommend applying by hand and scrubbing or scraping. The smell is obnoxious, and unless you have chemical-proof...

My Honda self-propelled mower that I bought in 1986 blew its guts out last Fall. You'd think they would build them to last ... :p

Seriously, though, it always started on the first pull for the...

I have something like 10 sets of jaws for my Nova chucks (a G3 and a Midi). You can never have enough jaw sets. My saying originally was "I never have the right jaw set".

Now I do not have...

Permit! We used a licensed roofer, and his office manager was to get the permit. Apparently it was forgotten. Shame on me to not notice that it was not posted on house. I called him and he called...

I'm not so sure you'll see the 3/4" size bench dogs and accessories vanish anytime soon. I built my own super-sized MFT-style workbench, and went with 20mm holes since I had purchased Qwas Dogs to...
