On my 3rd or 4th bench I used a cheap vice and built it into the bench. I mortised the rear jaw into the apron. You don't want your rear jaw proud...

I think he's referring to having a GFCI breaker feed a GFCI receptacle. Doing so can cause issues with the electronics in the GFCI devices.

When I was young I carried a George Costanza style Tri-Fold. I wore holes through my back pocket. I use a small leather card case with additional...

Do you have an old one? If so, find a local battery supplier. Someone who specializes in industrial or commercial battery solutions, and see if...

I'm pretty sure Warren mentioned the chipbreaker in the thread where I asked my question about tear out. Obviously, it went in one ear and came out...
