If I were doing this, I'd stay with the PM adjustable feet and make sure the "cradle" gave me access to adjust the feet, at least from one side. The...

Actually that's a pretty desirable router without either base. It's used by hobby CNC routers. It sells for about $100 with the fixed base (which...

My preference is for a smooth sole, but the corrugated soles seem to also work well. Though as you say it seems more a gimmick than anything else. ...

In addition to letting someone know there is a message (cause some people don't check email these days and only look at their threads), it serves as...

For tool-free connection, I often use draw latches. They're called draw latches because they draw two parts together as they are closed. For...

you got some great advise here, and the usual bickering, welcome to SMC ;) Just a few bits of input after tackling this myself... 1 Much depends on...

Makes sense. I could see drilling with a Forstner bit to provide ideal space for the adjustable feet - or- remove the feet altogether and bolts into...

I can’t agree that all planes get scratched up. Many old timers would never set a plane sole down ,even on the piece they were working on ! If it...

I just received my new G0766 (March 2021) and installed a Robust 12" Comfort tool rest on it with no issues. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that...

I have mostly Lie-Nielsen planes. The A-2 steel has not been a problem except for one use. The LN shooting board plane’s blade has a propensity to...

This showed up and I got a small amount of electrical done for the amount of time I spent on it :D

A hex nut would give a short flat for registering the grind and not require making the triangle stock. The hex might have to be used on some riser...

We're just talking about compression strength in this application. I should think it would be no problem as long as the footpads coming out of the...

I am far from being an expert, but using hollow grind and then Shapton stones, ending up with green compound on a planed piece of maple it has worked...

I used a 3/4 socket head for the coupler. Not shown here, forgot to bring the model of that home from my shop. It was threaded in from the back side...

Thanks Jack. Split heat pump did not cross my mind. It's a better option. I guess if I get a little bigger unit, it can cool (and heat) down one...

Reed also brought up 4x4s on another forum and it seems plausible. Wouldn't having some steel plates or something be stronger? I don't know. I did a...

And it is easier to scrape from inside corners when dry. And if you accidentally don't quite get all of it off, it is less finish-phobic than PVAs.

John, how’s the morel hunt this year? Sadly, I haven’t spent much time looking this year.

Wonder if it happened to be put in the dishwasher?

If it were me, I'd add riser blocks using a 4x4 across the width of the legs and 2x6s bolted to each side of the 4x4 to create a cradle locking the...

Garden club finished up Azalea sale yesterday. Served them hot dogs for lunch on both Saturdays. Today retrieved tent, tables, chairs , sign boards,...

I did a lot of work in the gas industry in BC a few years ago. While gas is available I think you will find that a mini-split heat pump will be best...

Thank you. I think so too, The silver knob is actually off the blade height adjustment wheel it broke off at some point im glad the previous owner...

I think you made a wise choice. The micro adjust in the F fence is really nice. That little silver knob sitting on the miter gauge might go into...
