    Time for some levity

    Thread Starter: Dave Anderson NH

    With all of the negativity and political stuff going on with the Covid-19 virus it is time to look at the humorous side of things. Feel free to add more, but keep it clean or it will be deleted.

    What 8" jointer would you get and why?

    Thread Starter: Alden Peterson

    I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on an 8" jointer. I don't have one right now and I'm tired of having to planer sled/table saw sled for jointing and not getting perfect cuts on those anyways. Prices are all over the place between brands. I'm wanting helical and probably...

    30w Fiber Laser Not Firing Help Please!

    Thread Starter: Nick Marchesani

    Hi All! My 30w fiber laser stopped firing when it was about 1/3 thru engraving an aluminum bracelet. Can anyone give some advice? I'm using ezcad2 14.9. Are there any fuses inside the Laser box? Can anyone also tell me if a dialog box opens with a Agree/Disagree dialog box when you start...

    "Unboxing" - Harvey G700 DC

    Thread Starter: Jim Becker

    I mentioned in my shop build thread that a new DC system was needed once I move in. Despite that being a few months away, I took advantage of a sale on the G700 and it arrived on Thursday. (I will say that for anyone interested in this machine...bide your time and watch for the $2499 sale price. I...

    Paving the driveway

    Thread Starter: John K Jordan

    After waiting a month for a dry spell we finally got the driveway paved yesterday. Sure creates a different look at the farm. I left some unpaved for now where I need to move heavy trucks and equipment (and because paving is not inexpensive...) My Lovely Bride was especially interested in...

    What do you use 2" long 23 ga pins for?

    Thread Starter: Rich Engelhardt

    My PC 23 ga pin nailer uses up to 1" long pins. I use it quite a bit. So far, I haven't run across anything I'd use it on where I'd prefer it had the ability to shoot a 2" pin. What am I missing?

    I purchased my Grizzly G0658 back in 2009. At the time I was a novice wood turner and I did not give any thought to whether I needed reversing capability on a lathe. I have since added a JET 1642VS-2, which has reverse, to my lathe cell. Having found that reverse is a handy feature after using the Jet for a while I decide it would be nice to have it on the Grizzly. ...

    I recently ordered a few new gouges from Thompson Tools. Doug is a great guy to deal with and I will definitely order from him again. Since I’m on a tight budget and needed handles for my new tools, I decided to build my own. At first I was going to make some nice wood handles but then I thought aluminum would look nice. ...

    About 5-6 months ago I wanted to turn a piece of Cholla, but there wasn't any solid wood to center on to. It took me about 30 minutes to come up with what I call a "Chuck Plate".

    The link below is my review of the 62" Excalibur Sliding Table I purchased in 1999. More than productivity the principal reason for purchasing a slider was safety.
