Seems like you thought of all of your possible options and using the skilsaw seems to be the best one. Considering how many of those 14' slabs you...

Why would you use anything other then a table saw for that operation?

I think you're under pricing yourself on that 603. There are two versions of Bedrock planes, round sides and flat top. The round side planes are...

I recall the article well, as Bob posted it on several websites (where pictures may still be available). I recall saying to him that an easier way of...

the Harvey is a superb lathe, and might also be a good choice here. it has a CNC servo motor that is incredibly strong, efficient and quiet. If you...

I have been using iTunes. For a long time I thought you could only use music from the Apple store on iTunes, but that is not correct. You can use...

Could you take some banding strap and make a circle? Pop rivet ends together (using steel rivets, not aluminum) to form circle. A hint for drilling...

As Mike has mentioned, tang handles are generally easy to make and fit. The advantage of tanged chisels is that they have lighter blades, which...

Just my two cents' worth, but most common acme screws (press screws, vice screws, etc) are right hand thread. Used in a wagon vise as depicted...

Ok, a couple of updates: 1. Groove was a waste of time. It seemed to work ok, until I discovered a bunch of missing music: 10 hours of runtime, it...

Derek, FWIW, I have Muscle Chucks on two different routers (Bosch 1617 and PC 7518). Neither have required any balancing whatsoever. They do...

Gotta say I’m a bit jealous But congrats on the great find!

OK, I read your original post again and see that you have a gravity feed cup on your gun. For EnduroVar (about 45 seconds #4 Ford cup) you should be...

I have a 8" Forrest Dado King for my 10" PM 66 that is 20 years old, and I have a more recent 12" Forrest Dado King for my 16" saw. They are...

World's largest delivery drone! Once in Louisville, I watched rooftop heating units being set using a helicopter. Helicopter leaked hydraulic oil, so...

Consider the MuscleChuck. This will raise all your bits as it is an extension - and makes above-table bit changes very easy. I use one. However, it...

Steve, your right on the mark about promotion: you should see the wall of Milwaukee tools at the hardware store! And all over the store they have...

Julie, I have not bought the loose tenons for my Domino. I make them myself from the inevitable scrap on any project. The domino is genius...

Martin, I am unaware of the hose-cord combo you mention. Any part number or photo you can supply? Craig, I looked up that part number. It refers...

I don’t have it anymore but my favorite stack was an Infinity Dadonator. I sold it when I moved from a Unisaw to a slider and the slider couldn’t...

I have a mortiser on the back of my older FS-35, which I got as part of the deal when I bought the machine, used. It's great for the 5/8" x 3+" deep...

As you probably know, not only can mat'l prices differ, but especially labor (contractor) prices differ on Geo location. Can be BIG diff's. Marc

I had the same conundrum, and bought the Domino. Domino is portable, better dust collection, holds re-sale value better, more useful (IMHO), and...

A lot of good sound advice guys thank you. My bad for not making it clear that this trade will take place via the internet. I won't be able to see...

A horizontal mortiser is only as good as how stout it is built. Any vibration or weakness in either the table or slides will create inconsistencies....

Socket chisels can be a funny animal concerning handles. I used them starting out and than went to plastic 60s I think they are called. The one thing...

I have a dewalt set and love it. I suspect there are many that are good though.

Thanks so much. Think I now have an idea what things should cost.

One optician I trust the most has tried several top brands but mostly Varilux and Zeiss. He would love to provide me the best vision available. He...
