    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.

    Dust Collector recommendations

    Thread Starter: Michael Rutman

    Oh boy, reading the archives I can see this is not a simple question, which makes me feel good because I am completely lost. I have never owned a dust collector mostly due to inability to figure out what I need, and that needs to change. So, let me go over my shop, my needs, and then beg for...

    glue 1 surface or 2

    Thread Starter: Richard Hutchings

    After reading Stephens post where he mentioned gluing both faces of the laminated legs, it got me thinking. I generally avoid that and feel gluing one surface is plenty. I think if I was gluing up a mallet, I might go that extra mile but I'm more of a glue one surface guy. Prove me wrong and I'll...

    Cost effectiveness of a slider vs. tracksaw & tablesaw

    Thread Starter: Jonathan Jung

    I thought about posting this to the business section, because I'd really like input from professionals who use their shop as a business. For those of you who make $ or even a living making furniture or cabinets, how long does it take for a sliding table saw to pay for itself compared to a track saw...

    Solid Walnut bookshelf dados - is glue enough?

    Thread Starter: Bill Brammer

    Building 6 ft high, 28 in wide, 12 inch deep solid 3/4 inch walnut bookshelf , no adjustable shelves. I have dados for all shelves. The sides are a little bowed, requiring some pressure with clamps to pull them together with the dados. Not a ton, but some. I'm trying to decide if I need to add...

    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. ...

    Here's my review of the Worksharp 3000 and Henry Taylor's paring chisels. I'm doing this because some threads I started recently have generated a lot of interest and I've been fielding a lot of PMs and e-mails about these two products. ...

    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".

    I think my zero turn mower is cursed!

    This sounds like a problem old (6 Volt) VWs had. The voltage drop from the battery to the key then to the starter was enough to prevent the starting solenoid

    I think my zero turn mower is cursed!

    I have two Kubotas that acted like that. The service tech put a relay between the battery and the starter solinoid
    To provide full power. Solved

    Miter Saw Vertical Cuts not Square

    I think this is the case, it is not tracking at a perfect 90 degrees, only ends up there, and when I check it with a longer combination square, it doesn't

    I think my zero turn mower is cursed!

    If starter works when you "tap it", sounds like a stuck brush set to me. Just my two cents worth and worth exactly what you paid for it.
