One has to start by being a bit picky about the lumber they are going to work. Also size has something to do with it. It is difficult at best to...

Didn't know about this tool. I see Home Depot rents them. Probably the ticket if it's cast. Thanks

It's a vertical pipe, that could be cast. We think the pond is 40+ years old. Not sure of the water source, maybe a spring, but about a dozen acres...

Thanks Bruce. Cheers, Tim

It has been almost a year since last setting foot inside the local Home Depot. My hope was to get out quickly. Candy needed to use the restroom. She...

I bought the gripper to strip small pieces of wood. Have not,used it yet but I was also eyeing the jessem for sure. I own their router table guides...

My saw doesn’t have a riving knife. I use a splitter for long rips and a feather board. It is critical that your fence is properly aligned to the...

Part of the art in it is knowing which boards not to bother with - the ones that should be cut up for the inevitable smaller parts most any furniture...

Before purchasing a decent JP, I jointed all edges by hand. For thicknessing, I would knock down any twisty boards by hand and finish on the...

I have a fairly old 3 HP dust gorilla Oneida. Outside of full scale production I can't imagine needing anything more. I use an appliance remote...

Don't follow your logic in this case. If we were talking about Alaska and people who moved there from Texas then yes the transient population...

I'm in the process of building cabinets for a neighbor. The carcases are made out of 3/4" maple veneer bought from Home Depot, about $50/sheet. ...

Hi weogo I'm working on turning 2x6 construction material into a table top. Doing large boards is definitely a challenge. Especially edge jointing.

We need photos Jon...I never tire of looking at Yates snowflake bandsaws.

I still have the original motor on mine. About once a year I pull the little plastic caps over the bearings and add a few drops of oil. My motor is...

I've bought from Boards and Beams many times, good selection and I thought the prices were OK

Thanks Dave. First to clarify, I also have the Jessem ones, not the board buddies. Two, I think he meant with the knife it was less likely the long...

Hi Michael, On occasion I've run in to the same thing with both manual and hand flattening. If a piece of wood has a different moisture...

Well this sort of falls into the category of lumber yard. But my brothers carpenter friend was shutting down her shop, so we got a chance to go...

If you don't live in an area that deals with cold temperatures, you don't know the simple remedy's. When we lived in a trailer, even with insulated...

for my juice board I have blueprints from a wood magazine, so it shouldn't be that hard. But then i have to use the band saw which i don't have to...

Fairly recently I installed the JessEm guides on my SawStop, which are similar to the board buddies. For long boards, or large plywood pieces, they...

My dilithium crystal powered warp drive phaser table
