If I am having tear out issues with a piece of wood, particularly if it is kind of punky, that is when I have to go with the 600 grit edge. Also...

I use long extension cables to be able to move my machines around the garage "shop", so I prefer the locking plugs/receptacles. The first 220v...

Thanks for the warning, Chuck. I was going to register and post my question there. I don't think the book is that rare - I'm pretty sure others...

FWIW, I purchased 3 workbenches at HF and attached them together. I'm not sure, but I recall the cost for each was less than $75. Each had drawers,...

I live north of New York City, and I agree upstate New York is beautiful! I also agree that I would not use that beautiful wood for an outdoor cat...

So the makita is now on sale half price, and I ordered one. However, I'm curious as to how...

My 17" Grizzly weighs 70 lbs more than that and does not have solid wheels. Finite Element Analysis can often shave off substantial mass w/o losing...

I've been using standard 6-30 receptacles. No problems or hassles so far.

I have created a similar 'carousel' tool cart. I started with a heavy base and then added about 50# of sand. Then 3 round shelves build on a...

Having a utility sink will be a very nice addition. I'm envious. Adding a water line and a drain pipe to my shop would entail a LOT (200') of...
