Hey guess what, that router plate is actually threaded, so removing the nuts only got me halfway there. Removing the bolts and voila!

I'm trying to simply remove a router from underneath an old router table. Probably been on there for decades. I removed the four nuts and the router won't budge. I'm guessing maybe all the years of...

I want to strip the paint on the outside of an old mahogany door (1908 house). I did a search on here and there hasn't been much discussion in a few years. Anyone have experience with Peel Away 6? ...

I often use Tried and True oils for my finishes largely because they are pure oils with no toxic chemicals added. I have a basement shop and a wife who is sensitive to "toxic fumes".

I was...

I wouldn't let my kid have such a beautiful piece of furniture. I would put that in my bedroom and you might consider putting it somewhere else a little later during the "destruction period" of a...

That's the kind of thing where a burglar would probably make off with the box and leave the jewelry behind.

Hello Creekers - I had a crazy idea and thought I would just put it out there. My daughter goes to a fabulous young Charter school here in Portland OR that is underfunded...

Please count me in.

I've never owned a new car and have only bought 3 cars over 30 years of driving age (1976 Datsun King Cab, 1981 Mazda RX-7, and 1991 Mitsubishi Galant (with roof rack = truck)).

Maybe someday...

This is borderline off topic but in my 100 year old house, I've got hinges on a door that are barely hanging on because of screws that aren't biting into much on the jamb. Someone before me tried...

Yes I finished both sides but may have given an extra coat on the top side.

How could the linseed oil have done nothing when the feel is notably smoother? Do you mean the shellac (two coats)...

I made a box out of ash with a two piece glued up top (resawn bookmatch). It is about 8" x 12" x 1/2" thick. It was initially finished with two coats of shellac, but then I thought it might have...

I'm in too!

Thanks

Opt in, opt in.

thanks

I'm a hobbyist and am just putting together my first shop which i've wanted for about 8 years now. Had to move to do it. I had money invested in the stock market which i had earmarked for getting...

I don't know, all the guys in these photos appear to be alive to me.

I've certainly less experience than most on this forum, but I built a sturdy step stool out of ...here it comes...poplar and was very pleased with it. And no, I did not paint it. The boards I got...

I have read a number of DC posts and the general idea is bigger is better because it means more airflow. There are a number of different materials options and some that can be obtained in 5".

Is that indeed true that cutting a bevel on a right tilt is more dangerous? My understanding is that the reasoning is that the board is wedged against the fence and therefore could bind up. But...

Tom - I was wondering the same thing the other day so that's why I was interested in your post and lo and behold we're both in Portland!

I just moved here so I'm certainly interested in finding...

I think this has been a very interesting post, if I can say so.

So based on what I read here and my young shop needs, I bought the following the other day:

1 9" Quick Release WW vise - on...

What I mean by quality and cheap is that I prefer to buy quality when it makes the most sense to do so. There are things that I think being HF thrifty might make more sense to do so. It seems like...

I'm sorry, I'm not the one to answer this question, but I did want to welcome you and to welcome any future bits of wisdom you might share from your 30 years!

I think it's a terrific forum and...

I haven't been in one in a long time, but I just moved and there is one close to me. I'm just wondering what tools might be worthwhile getting here. I appreciate quality but I'm also a bit of a...

Count me in, as well.
