    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.

    Dog Attack

    Thread Starter: Tom Bender

    There are dogs in the world and sometimes they attack. That is not going to change. So here is my question. If I have no weapons and no objects within reach how can I best defend myself? Maybe the martial arts have something to offer.

    Parallel dust collectors

    Thread Starter: Ben Grefe

    I have an opportunity coming up - the roof of my shop needs a new support beam (the 1950’s framing is sagging by almost a foot in the middle). Looks like with the remodel slowdown, I’m going to get a contractor in to do the work, but to do so I need to take everything out of my shop, including...

    Poplar

    Thread Starter: Rob Luter

    I've not used much Poplar in my time woodworking, outside some trim that was going to be painted. I've seen some folks use it as a secondary wood for casework and such. I've been watching a YouTube channel from Engels Coach Shop where wagons and coaches are restored or built from scratch, and in...

    In The Grocery Section, Disappearing Store Brands

    Thread Starter: Bruce Wrenn

    Recently (in the last year,) I have noticed more and more "store brands" disappearing from the shelves. The stores where I regularly shop (excluding Aldi's) now only have Campbell's soup. Walmart has a very limited selection of their in house "Great Value" brand soup. Same goes for oatmeal, only...

    Thread Starter: dennis thompson

    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".

    Can the rear rail on a SawStop be removed?

    What are you using for an insert? One mine it holds the mdf table onto the rest of the saw.

    Creeker's Past Week's Accomplishments

    Went to beach house of a friend to replace child sized toilet. Then the fun began. First, toilet flange was installed so new toilet wouldn't fit. Bolts
