    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.

    Future infrastructure for residential electric service?

    Thread Starter: Stephen Tashiro

    The recent thread on electric vehicles brings up questions about future infrastructure for residential electric service ( power lines, transformers, etc.) Will a future home need 500 AMP service? Can contemporary power poles safely hold the power lines and transformers that can supply that much...

    Talk me out of building an eight foot bench please.

    Thread Starter: Scott Winners

    I think I can make it work in my space. I am going to leave enough overhang past the legs to maybe install a tail vise on the distaff end in the future, or whack a little length off and not have a tail vise. My current bench coming out of the old more cramped shop space is all Doug Fir, 24x48...

    Move from 15" to Dewalt 13" planer?

    Thread Starter: Geoff Crimmins

    Several years ago I was looking for a planer with a helical head for my hobby woodshop. I ended up with a 15" Grizzly because I found a good deal on a used one. It's a nice planer, but it's taking up a lot of space in my small garage for the amount that I use it. I've been thinking of replacing it...

    Hi everyone, I have come across an opportunity to add the minimax C26 genius to my shop from only $500, but already have a shop filled with individual tools. I spend most of my time in the woodshop slowly making mediumly sized pieces of furniture for myself, friends and family members. ...

    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".

    shaper fences, PM 26

    Can you be more specific or post photos of what is not working for you? Are you saying the tolerances / quality is off or the design is poor or?
