Hi Scott, When designing based on acceptable levels of deflection, strength becomes a non-issue unless you’re using very stiff and brittle...

I would likely pre-drill and use a #4 screw from behind. You could also drill through the door and the handle with a dowel rod, set with epoxy, and...

Something to consider if direct importing EU machines - check the motor frequency. My understanding is that EU machines run 50 Hz, hooking up to 60...

I'd certainly be willing to kick in to pay for Dropbox if that were necessary.

They are neat but only effective and practical in yards. If the snow doesn't blow out you just melt it. They've evolved tremendously too. They used...

How would fill in you purchased a new grizzly lathe in November. it is January 16 and it is still not working due to missing parts?

It’s not worth the 3/16-1/4” width of plywood for me to check it for square, dings, chips etc. I know my slider cuts true and so everything gets a...

I believe the OP is not asking for an easier way to change the bag but an alternative to the bag altogether. A quick search turned up this:...

Hey Garrad - how’s the saw working for you?

Spent my career in operating rooms. Hopefully your workshops have less blood and yuck in them.

I truly hate the 1" dog holes on my Sjobergs bench. I had a machinist friend of mine make some bushings for me to reduce them to 3/4", but there are...

My "team" is me, and two guys that no one else would hire, that can almost read a tape measure, if they work together. I have a method for skim...

I too use my jig infrequently, however when I do use it, I want it to work. I had the old jig, but never could get the joints to come out the way I...

sorry that was misleading. I just meant the walls, which in my case are sloped because they are against the roof rafters. Here is a photo. The...

Mike, I have the Nova Voyager and the new Woodpeckers DP table. Overall, the table is quite nice. The drawer underneath is actually quite handy....

There was a similar ventilation issue with that 1828 house on the Insulation page. Here's a picture that shows the gable end vents I added. There...

I use the universal solution - duct tape. I usually empty the clear bag into a trash bag when it gets half full. I find half full easier to get out...

I run mine at 75% to full power for most finishes. Like Dave said,, I don't mess with it much. I just was spraying Target Coatings EM8000CV at full...

If it is what he wants and he is the paying customer, go for it. You can not win an argument with a customer even if you are right you loose the...

I have the Katz-Moses and the Veritas, Katz-Moses 100% the difference I like to cut tails first (stacked) the width is easily handled by KM not...

I use blue tape to hold the bag in place and put the strapping over the tape.

7 years ago a thunderstorm took down a rather large branch out of a maple tree in the yard. I cut some 3’ logs out of the “secondary” lumber and...

I’d agree it’s likely not walnut. There are a lot of light toned burled veneers, and whether it’s oak or not, the oak veneer you pictured would be a...

Not getting a mental picture of "sloped sidewalls". Is there space between the ceiling joists, and rafters being used for living space? I'm not...

There is a mill near me that makes low quality logs into pallet lumber, mud mats, temporary construction etc. Really low prices. I have gone there...

I like the jet engine snow blowers for cleaning the tracks and switches.

Is there a set-up to replace the bag? I seem to recall seeing like someone install a clear tube to a receptacle below.
