It has been a month now and I have eaten enough crow to confess my ineptness and apologize to PSI. PSI did well. I wrote to them explaining in...

Found Silvo catalogs from 1979 on eBay. Thanks for this. Will bring back lots of good memories.

Klingspor mac mop.....

IF, very big if, you want printed copies. Yes. If you want to be able to just read what has the effect of law, then access should be and in some...

Stanley no. 40’s are still some of my favorites. I have a bunch.

Those all got a lot of my money then and the decade before. Silvo Hardware got the most by far. I still have all of the tools and still use them. ...

Thanks for the insight guys. Per usual, was being a little too optimistic. I’ll stick with clear poly. Decent all around and quick build with the...

Pfeil still makes that tool. Woodcraft calls it an Abegglen detail knife. I have one and I like it for setting out and controlled undercutting. ...

I've used this method several times and it works really well. Leave the crack un-clamped and possible opened up a bit. Place a liberal amount of...

So what you're saying is, all you need is a small brain to be a woodworker :D Come to think of it, I have seen evidence of this from time to time...

2 or 3 inexpensive ceiling fans would help to bring the heat down.

richard made a good point I have two Invincible combos. Wiring on one was toast and new switches SCM was know past like 60 years ago for some bad...

Looks like a spoon bent chisel for deep excavation. Or something yet more exotic. If you can read the Pfeil number on it you can probably look it up...

Geoff I'm sorry, but I gotta take the opposite position here. Trading a 500lb, 15" planer, for a bench top machine that weighs 1/5 the weight, is...

I have the C26 which was purchased new more than a decade ago. I paid a lot more than $500. Anyway, it has been a great machine. Only real issue was...

looks a lot like this one: https://quickwood.com/collections/flap-wheels/products/flap-wheel-10od-28-slot

Me too! There were some old 1980s era Woodcraft around here. Not sure if they still are. jtk

Are you a farm boy Jimmy? What kind of maintenance are you talking about? Ever heard of "dead as a door nail"? That meant that you drove the nails...

Thanks, Richard! I'm not terrifically innovative, just had an idea that I carried out. The well may be dry at this point... ;) Rosette inlay...

Your issue is semantics? Not the nine bills needed? Your version of "mint" must be "unused" which is fine with me. He sells a lot of stuff at...

Patiently waiting for the second set of pictures. Excellent "canvas" to start with.

What's crazy is that this, if correct, predates Neanderthals. Which, with a larger brain, there are many scientists who believe that Neanderthals...

That looks to be a fairly wide crack. It shouldn't be too hard to repair. Flood the crack with PVA glue or epoxy, let it sit for a few minutes to...

Set it at 78ºF and the shop at "working level" pretty much stayed at about 75ºF. Barely affected our power bill. Cooling is "more efficient" than...

For $500, I'd buy it just to have a second machine. LOL

The DW735 has been known from the very beginning when it was introduced years ago to be an "exceptional screamer" compared to other portables.

Lowes & Home Depot sell flap wheel sanders for not a whole lot of money. Use a light touch with one though - - they go through wood like a hot...

Thanks to this thread, I now own this saw. It just came today, and I love it. It's in the original box, and doesn't look like anyone ever used it. ...
