    Volkswagon Mechanics Talk To Me

    Thread Starter: Keith Outten

    I recently acquired this 1967 VW dune buggy knowing that it would be a bit of a project before I could get it on the road. It runs good just needs a tune up but I will need to replace some parts here and there to get it where it needs to be. Most of the parts are on order, new brake shoes, stuff...

    Teach us about rasps and floats

    Thread Starter: Keegan Shields

    There is a ton of info on the web about the more common woodworking hand tools (chisels, planes, saws) but what about rasps and floats? What’s the difference in application? How do these tools fit into the tool continuum from axe to sandpaper? What brands and models would you recommend to...

    I think my zero turn mower is cursed!

    Thread Starter: Brian Elfert

    I bought a used 2019 Grasshopper diesel zero turn mower with 189 hours on it last summer. I had all kinds of problems with it initially including a starter that didn't always turn over. I realized after I bought it that the mower had been buried pretty deep in mud or something as the dashboard...

    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...

    new bandsaw wont' cut straight

    Thread Starter: Forrest Gon

    My first bandsaw, a new rikon 10-3061, set it up according to the manual and various youtube tutorials such as Alex Snodgrass's method (align the blade, tension the blade, thrust bearings and side guides) Now the issue is: the saw just won't cut straight, it will pull the wood off the fence...

    Dust Extractors - Festool competitors

    Thread Starter: Matt Day

    Going off the CT26 v Midi thread, who is the competition for Festool? Flex, Metabo, Bosch, Makita, Dewalt? I’m looking for a lower cost alternative to Festool that still performs well. It will be used for a future track saw, hand sanders, routers, etc. No big chip producers. I’m okay adding a...

    How do you clean your cutter knife blade?

    I'll third the Super Clean, wonderful for emulsifying grease-

    Delta Unisaw Blade Guard

    I have a Biesemeyer overarm guard (not available now) which I more or less like. The main issue I have, and all guards will have this same issue, is

    Ship-lap

    If the fit in the dado is fairly tight, you may get enough seasonal cupping in the boards to more or less friction fit them in place, while still allowing

    Another plague coming to California

    They are even showing up in MN. Usually our winters keep us safe from those sorts of things, but apparently not the jumping worms. I don't think I have

    Maple & epoxy segmented bowl

    Thanks Ronald for looking in. Yes it was a ton of work mostly because it was my first attempt to use resin pre cast in molds then assembled to a ring.
