In the case of the South Bend planers specifically, they have a separate dc variable speed feed motor similar to my wood master sander. I have had...

I am talking about the photo Jim showed of his office.

My old ones all have steel bars, I know because I drilled them all for the black plastic end pieces.

Is it jarring to know a door cannot be a jar, but it can be ajar? Don't forget about auto-antonyms, words that mean the opposite of themselves. ...

You asked for cheap, Jacob. Here are two ways. Both start with a $10 used plain solid core door from Habitat for Humanity's ReStore, in many...

In theory, when the humidity goes back to what it was, the moisture content of the wood should go back to what it was, and then the shape of the wood...

The biggest question to ask yourself (and give us the answer because it will help guide our responses) is what do you plan to do with the bench. A...

Which side? DARK SIDE or LIGHT SIDE? With stripes you could use both colors

Glad it wasn't worse Steven. Thanks for the safety reminder!

Can't put holes in the garage walls? That's not a garage it's a car apartment. I hope you're allowed to use the toilets as intended. Sorry I...

You'd end up with someone who was desperate enough to jump through your hoops and they'd constantly be under funded and behind deadline. The best...

My shop is 24 by 36 feet with a 9 foot ceiling with three garage doors and one personnel door well insulated walls and ceiling. The garage doors leak...

:D ...

Now slap a new coat of paint on the old place and tack another 100K on to the asking price. But reject any and all offers less than 50K over that!

Hi Michael, Fortunately the CFM is 1,850. 2.5 SF (w/ filter). My shop is basically a one person operation with usually only 2 machines running...

Feeling your pain, err, joy. So sorry to learn that you have to (get to) build a new shop. The entire Sawmill Creek community feels your joy. :D ...

Exactly! My experience was with 6 year old tires with about the same mileage. First one slung the tread off. Second sounded like a gun shot going...

I like that combo. What is the grey color called??

The company I work for does custom dust collection equipment for industrial applications. Not the same as a woodworking / homebuilding business but...

Ed pointed out the Anarchist's Workbench book. It's nice it's free, but it really covers only Christopher Schwarz's conclusions, i.e. a Roubo out of...

If you are sure at least one thing is working on that circuit and it’s just a single lever breaker you have a loose or burned wire. Turn off all...

You might check out the General Altimax rt43 tires. I had a set on an older sedan and they improved the handling but weren't too noisy (though a...

You probably want to wait for the lumber market to calm down a bit. This matters because basically a bench is going to be one of the most lumber...

I understand. You have the same size shop as mine. I have a little advantage in that my lumber storage and cyclone are outside. All my ducts are 6”...

In regards to ducting thickness required, it depends on the negative pressure in the branch/system, not necessarily the collector capability....

Congratulations Jim! Word of advice, keep the shop smaller than the house to prevent marital poaching upon sacred ground.

I would find another project for now. Let the table rest a week or two with good even air circulation . I would place it on its end and out of...

Good point. This house is 1 block from the ocean which likely factored in to the design.

My first question would be do you have enough DC to deliver 1400 CFM? Maybe you do if you don't have a cyclone? That is what it will take in an 8"...
