My parents had the control board in their furnace go out at least once a year. The HVAC tech recommended a good surge protector. I had a real nice...

I have some guides similar to these: (note these ones will extend to almost 4' long!) These work great-- however, I like mine better because...

I've never done it myself - but - I've seen videos of it. Wow! is right!

In all my years I've only seen anyone do this once, when I was like 8 years old-- A family had a new house built and moved in a couple of doors away....

John you are giving away all my 'trade secrets'. Agree 100 % with everything you just said. My shop is full of machines that except for a 24 year old...

No idea where you are located but the classified thread has a Jet 16-32 for $800. Seattle area. Maybe you could get it shipped and still have a good...

I have 40 year old NM (Romex) cable pulled out of my house that the insulation and wire still seems just fine. I scrap most of it because it is NM...

I believe it is a standard breaker as my memory is that AFCI was not required for bathroom receptacle circuits under the 2014 NEC. It has only...

Try switching to stainless nuts (or if they're already stainless, some zinc plated steel ones). Galling is most likely to happen when you have two of...

Nice. I wish I could do that. But I usually park the trailer in tight spots, on hills, rough ground, across shallow ditches etc. If I can’t hit the...

This wasn't a bad option before backup cameras but as Jim says with a camera it is a cinch. ...

In case it helps anyone, the shop director who has say-so over repairs got back today and said those nuts are bad about galding internally. The...

Members of the FOG own equipment from vendors other than Felder. there are other options for controlled resawing including building appliances to...

Odd, because their website says that’s it’s not compatible with the metric miter slot on Felder bandsaws.

Same idea as a tennis ball on a string. I thought that was a truck wheel but it could be a big camping trailer. A painted line would also work. and...

off a wheel gives a hollow grind. Then rest that on whatever you use to sharpen and it rests on the two high points. Hone that side and back. when...

None, and I guess my point got lost. My jointer has dovetail ways, and is 79 years old.

Really nice Lee, thanks for sharing! This is also good inspiration for using up scrap materials as trays of this nature are always useful and worth...

One a jointer the dovetail ways are more for a set up rather than for wear. Its not a high wear application. On my mortise machine the chain and...

I think the WS is really meant for the quick and dirty (good enough) crowd like onsite carpenters or those that just want sharp edges quickly. One...

Jared - exactly how many dovetailed wayed jointers have you worn out in your career ? I've got one , third hand that's over a century old and...

I like the scrapers holder also. Thanks.

I simply take them off and store them in a small pimento jar full of lacquer thinner.
