A lot has to do with where you live. Here in CA, a couple of large insurance companies say that they will no longer offer home insurance. They claim...

Nope, no need. I designed the arch for 18" logs. That's why it looks under built for the 32" logs it can now handle after I upsized it. But I've...

Figure out why it's cracked before bothering with cosmetic repair. Looks like there are dissimilar materials below. Can't picture the "cement...

In California some companies are no longer selling home owner's insurance. Fires and flooding have been devastating to their finances. Parts of...

Epoxy does not like a tight fit. I typically make the tenons about 0.005" undersize. 1/64" is pretty sloppy, however, but would be OK if you use...

I use moly (powder?).

It depends on how a company is structured. I've worked in manufacturing where everyone was in a position to stop the process if something wasn't...

Thanks Mel. Boy, this place has really gotten to be sleepy-town. All these views and only one comment. I guess we have morphed into a membership...

Ours went up a lot, but the house value hadn't been changed in a long time. It went way up when adjusted for current value. I don't know what it...

AZEK or KDAT.

Have you priced helium lately, lol.

I replaced the decking boards (outside) with hardwood decking. The old pressure treated stuff was checking and splintering. It's been 10 years and...

I’d like to have them. Will PM aim a few.

Several years ago I did something similar to what Lee suggested. My jointer did not have provisions for dust collection. To make it work I made a...

Go with the 3/8" x 1" LOC, will work fine. The 3 flute aluminum grind has plenty of positive rake. Any end mill ground for aluminum will eat wood...

I discharge mine to the outside, year round. Mine is in my garage. Not sure about how you work, but I am not runnning dusty ops for 3 hours at...

I own the 1450 (or what looks to be about the same as the 1450). I have had this for a very long time. Two items to note: I purchased the...

I was able to find 2) 6" dryer vent gravity dampers for discharge. A wye and blastgates may end up having significant leakage into your space on...

I have a #7 bought new in the 1960's, was my primary user for 10 years til I got an older 8C. It looks like I lapped the sole, very flat checked...

Perhaps to you, Jack :) For a long while now, I’ve been making the front groove 1/4” and the slip groove 1/8”, with a 1/8” rebate/tongue in the...

This is what I use.

I bought a new 1998 Kia Sportage and it was in the shop more than it was on the road. I ended up trading it in around 8 months later while it was...

Thanks for the info Jamie

lots of machines here no surface grinder. I did think about the edge sander but just not right think how I did it fine, I had no coarser stroke...

I use NLGI #2 grease, as recommended by my saw manufacturer, works just fine…..Regards, Rod.

Sold out, of course. I was just about to buy one. Price is good, all depends on if the angles are correct for wood. I have heard that it is the...

The groove on the front looks peculiar. I usually make it the same width as in slips, but just raise it one groove width up.
