Right. If money is an issue, those are good choices.

That's the one Richard. For my needs, 300# is more than enough. Interesting fact. I checked two HD locations near me, and they were not the same...

Thanks for the video

Got it. Thank you. I guess since I see Jarrah in so many of your forum posts, that I assumed it was a common species in your neck of the woods.

Erich, I prefer to re-use what I can. For many years I built with old roofing trusses - it is amazing (and alarming) how much good hardwood went into...

Yeah. Not sure the exact type of material but basically some type of plastic. In later models they put some aluminum strips on some of those pieces...

I've used spoke shave only for precise ,light cuts. For any cutting heavier than that ,I prefer a draw knife.

I just started using a spokeshave several years ago when I needed to make a slight curve on a table top. The tool I purchased isn't anything high...

You'll want to check the top wheel mounting hinged bracket. Those can crack and mess up the travel. Download a manual and make sure you have all the...

I have a hammer k3 winner 48x79 slider. My son has the griz 0623 so I have used both. I bought mine first and it was a hard decision to make. I also...

Maybe look at a Bosch then or a Japanese made Makita.

Cool! I showed my wife, her Mother raised those too so it brought back childhood memories. Her Mom had many varieties of chickens, quail,...

I don't see it on their website. Is it made with exterior glue? Best exterior finish is paint. Best clear finish is an exterior oil. A clear film...

SOLD. Thank you.

Mike, Depending on how many years ago it was that you first "published" this paper, you likely don't need a copyright notice to protect it. My...

I don't normally pay any attention to the stamps on gas cylinders, but I remember seeing a couple with swastikas back when I started in 2000. In...

Beware of the $1 bf lumber. It might be crazy cheap for a reason. Make sure the boards are straight grained and dry.

Bobby, impressive video. Are most of the black components in the video thick PVC type plastic? I remember reading that somewhere but can't find it...

Another bump.

Thanks Fred. This year it kinda sucked,no fireworks or anything.

Not to hijack the thread, but in what circumstances are the auxiliary fence called for? Just to make the plane more stable on narrow pieces?

Sorry, I guess I was really trying to ask why modify an existing piece vs build from scratch? (Preservation of resources/Scarce wood? Sentimental...

Clarence I run a rotary phase converter at my shop to power three phase machines. My converter will start up to a 10 h.p. three phase motor and run...

Funny, when I got my DJ-20 17 years ago it was pretty much "the" jointer to have... especially in a hobby shop. Norm had one and the related...

Mine seems to spin fine. Ratchet works in both directions. I got it off ebay, but picked one that looked to be in good shape. I added a few drops of...

Shark and rigid should never be used in the same sentence. I had a Shark for my first machine. From a rigidity standpoint, I consider it more of a...

I've been running a MS261C-M for about 6 years now and it has been great. The dealer talked me into the M version and there are no fuel adjustments....

I used to own a Minimax Sc2. mine was an older one,like 1980's vintage. It was an excellent saw and I still miss it. (replaced with a bigger slider)....

A couple of Oxygen tanks ago, I got one that had U.S. Navy stamped in it. I didn't ask any questions, but do get some with obvious, strange...
