    Best Hitchcock movie introduction

    Thread Starter: Bill Dufour

    We have a friend about 45 years old. She has never seen a Alfred Hitchcock movie in her life. She likes modern shoot um ups and super hero movies. It has to be in color. What would be the best movie to introduce Hitchcock to her. The Birds, Psycho, or what. Bill D

    On the Feedback of Sharpening Stones

    Thread Starter: Jimmy Harris

    So I know a lot of people love their sharpening jigs and claim it's the only way to get consistent and repeatable angles on their blades. Which, being someone who's freehand sharpened their whole life, always struck me as kind of odd. I get it if you don't do much sharpening or are new the realm...

    Nova Viking Floor Model Version

    Thread Starter: Doug Walls

    I'm looking at getting a Nova Viking for my garage mainly for woodworking use. I'm probably going to go with the floor model version because of the extra height adjustability, but the base seems kind of narrow for a floor model drill press! Has anyone had any problems with the Viking floor...

    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.

    Cabinet doors - wood panels or pegboard?

    I prefer making sketches and lists on yellow pads, that eventually get stored in a drawer taking up space and never to be looked at again.
