+1000. I have a MLCS cast iron router table top, and although it's extremely solid, I really, really wish that it provided more room in front of the...

Agree with most comments above. I built my 1200 sq ft shop four years ago, and added a basement pretty much right before we started excavating. Good...

I must've missed the post in question. But I"d like to respectfully inject a couple comments on the Moderators here. Please know that I mean no...

I ran into a snag on this build. The 3/4” bar I wanted wasn’t available from McMaster-Carr when I got materials, but they had a 3/4” galvanized, so...

Knowing engineers, they design the system to work with 2/door, so with larger doors they might not be soft close at all and I suspect it may shorten...

My advice would be to use fully threaded #10 wood screws so they screw into both the wood jamb and into the stud behind it. As long as the wood the...

I'm not a big fan of cordless tools for jobs where you need to hold the tool in your hand that use a lot of power. Either the battery just doesn't...

Mine is long since glued together to a 2" top. Frankly I've been a little scared of screwing it up by drilling it, but have lost the utility I need...

My last Tesla could automatically open the garage door, park the car (centers it around obstacles), then close the garage door behind it. With no...

My friend parked his car where he wanted to stop and then hung a tennis ball on a string so it just touched the windshield. My shop is in a one car...

I've had a few #18 and a couple #65 too, all in the 2nd generation Knuckle Joint format. The screw height is as important as it is on any plane with...

I realize I'm kinda late to the party, but yes, thank you! I've got a particular piece of hardware I want to make an install template for, and I...

Dave Thank you for your reply. That is the same purpose for which I purchased the D-way 3/4" BG. I do most of my turning with 5/8" BGs, but...

I agree you should go as big as you can. I too have never heard anyone say "I wish my shop was a little smaller." One thing to consider is climate...

Makes me think of something that was done many years ago where I used to work. They were giving a fellow tradesman a hard time. They drew several...

It is the off topic forum so most posts have little or nothing to do with wood working. Also many of the threads in this segment meander like a lazy...

That's pretty vague and doesn't appear to violate the TOS you quoted. I have seen many threads where politics of some sort are mentioned and threads...

I'd also be worried about what all the water would do to my apartment when whatever they used as a lining fails and the water comes pouring in....

Post number 2 in this thread explained it.

I don't think there's anything you can inject that will help much. You need fasteners that run through the Jamb into the framing behind it, whether...

Why leave everyone to speculate? It would be nice if the moderators just explained the reason for it's deletion.

Folks, Per the Terms of Service which you all agreed to abide when you registered for membership: It is our policy to support the free flow of...

Guessing they're used to it by now. I mean solid bulk cargos are a major issue, it's what kill the Edmund Fritzgerald of the famous song, but I...

Aaron, Having gone through the same planning/reorganizing/purchasing exercise last year, here are a couple of comments/questions for your...

Thanks John, this makes sense. Since the slides should all be matched in their movement relative to the diameter of the chuck body, the jaws should...

An electrolytic capacitor is a "polarized capacitor whose anode or positive plate is made of a metal that forms an insulating oxide layer through...

Many years ago I had the same situation. I wanted a somewhat quiet somewhat small portable compressor I could use to do remote work (my main...
