For a finish I used a blend of Red Mahogany & medium oak stains that I had left over from another job (see pic) and then 3 coats of a post cat laquer.
I drilled two 3" holes in the back panel to...

Just finished the file cabinet and desk today. I won't have any shop time until next winter. Have to go out of state until May and then I'll be fishing every spare moment.
The desk and cabinet were...

Tommy, I used a brass darkening solution that I got from either Rockler or Woodworking Supplies. It works on brass or copper. I used it to match some drawer pulls that were no longer in production....

Sorry Ken, I never ever thought of it or meant it that way. It's a stupid expression when you think about it. I love going south even if only for a few weeks.

Glen,
Thanks, I've checked the brushes and the switch so I guess it's more than likely the motor. Power has never been an issue so far. Do you have your Mil in a router table and if so how does it...

My DW625 has decided it doesn't want to run anymore. The switch had to be toggled several times before it would start and then there would be subtle changes in the speed. Now it won't turn on at all....

Just finished a version of a David Marks piece. I used some walnut that I had left over from a previous project for the tops and legs and cut the wedges in the tenons from some padauk. The legs are...

Thanks everyone,
It is "cold" this morning. It is only -1 but we have 30 mph winds and we're supposed to have wind chills of -40 by this evening. That's one plus for an attached shop.
I really...

Paul, When I set up my system I tried to neck down the hose from the 6" piping to the sanders but I didn't have hardly any air movement and had fine dust every where while sanding. I now attach my...

Paul,
I just recently bought the Jet 1100 canister DC. I spent a lot time reading all the posts and Bill Pentz's articles. There is so much information out there that I just ended up being confused....

Hi everyone,
My name is Ron Hill and I've been visiting this site for about 4 years now and have made a couple of posts. I'm semi-retired and spend the winter months woodworking. I started...

My wife bought me a Bosch Pro 1024 ripping blade for X-Mas and tried to use it today on a piece of 8/4 walnut and it made a horrible sound when it started to cut and then sounded ok for the rest of...
