Post number 2 says it got political.

Aaron, a clever idea. Thanks for all the insights.

This all sounds good... it will likely be a week or two before I can put the advice into practice!

I would (buy and) use a shaper, and don’t think I could ever go back to a router for something like this or much else but I have been corrupted. I...

Wait. So your proposal is to NOT throw the baby out with the bath water and instead employ a rational well thought out transition away from total...

SCM - Sliding Compound Miter. The station is fairly crude cabinet that provides storage for hand power tools, nail guns, files …The dust hood is just...

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. I appreciate it.

Thanks everyone for the replies, responses are pretty much in line with what i was thinking so good to know i am not totally nuts. (Unless we are all...

Ok, "landscape picture using wood slats"...Does Not Compute. Auto-correct artifact or some obscure form of lawn art that I'm unfamiliar with?

Mine are Nordfab also. The slide channel of the blast gate can fill with sawdust preventing slide from closing. You are just lucky not to have...

Doug, very good post. I am not thinking nationalizing the oil companies is practical or possible. I do think you are on to something with getting...

For unloading equipment like this, it is great to have a Hydraulic Table Cart from Harbor Freight. The cart will lift to bed height for most 1/2 ton...

That’s fair. I tend to use my tracksaw in a shop where I don’t want dust everywhere. For construction jobsites, I imagine a circular saw would work...

I've made a lot of cuts on my Hammer K3 saw featuring the pivot mount arrangement in question and agree with the above opinions that the measurement...

Tenons on handrails is traditional, for a reason. It's a strong way to attach the hand rail to the newel post, and it's easier than an angled cope...

Jim, a nice project. Using scraps to make a functional attractive piece of furniture feels good. Like you, my daughters are some of my biggest...

This is my understanding of the situation. I just looked it up, and in Feb 2022, 61% of the price of a gallon of gas in the US was the cost of crude...

Gel stain is used on fiberglass doors so I suspect it will work on the laminate, as long as you rough it up a little with sandpaper as you did in...

I'm with Kevin and David...simulate the through and through at the surface but use a half-lap tenon in an easier to cut rectangular through mortise...

Make a custom scraper with a piece of steel and some files that you can get in close to scrape the roundover followed by refining that last little...

I think I must be trying to accumulate chisels for an ultimate chisel test. I have sets of Marples (from the 1970’s), modern Stanley Sweetheart,...

That was my conundrum - with the angle (120) and amount sticking out (1" on either side) trying to scrape it seems problematic. I can try the chisel...

OP stated that Windows compatibility was required. That's not a happening thing on M1 or M2, other than fudging with the ARM version of Windows which...

I felt the same way....until I moved to a basement shop. I bought a Makita Cordless Tracksaw to break down sheet goods and do straight line rips. ...

I think I would assemble with square edges then use a chisel, scraper, and sandpaper to shape the edge. You might be able to get a homemade scratch...

These suggestions are what I was hoping for. I'll start studying the websites for these makers. I spoke with Carbide 3d today (makers of Nomad...

Automatic discount searching + discounts from participating vendors. You know, buy more stuff, spend more money... Capital One replaced my check...
