    Garage cost...are you kidding me?

    Thread Starter: Robert Hartmann

    I retired from the Air Force close to two years ago. It took us until now to find the house we wanted. So, I was ready to finally have a space dedicated for a wood shop instead of cramming into here or there as we moved every three years. We have a great house with some land and a perfect spot...

    Screw chuck recommendation

    Thread Starter: Richard Dooling

    I currently use a Nova four jaw chuck with their woodworm screw and that's been okay. I'd like to have a dedicated screw chuck and have read positive reviews of the Glaser product here.

    It's not about the shavings!

    Thread Starter: Rob Luter

    Sunday morning coffee rant...... Like some of us I consume my fair share of woodworking related print and video media. A favorite is YouTube instructional bits on technique, tool use, tool restoration, and such. How is it that many of the the guys doing vids on plane use and restoration...

    I don't remember where I read that, but it's been years ago. I did a Google search, and this is all that came up. This is the same as my bench. I can't
