Welcome to the right coast! I was in your neighborhood last Wednesday, passing though from VA to New Jersey and return.

I acquired a 1976 Beetle from a friend of mine last week. I have not had the time to look very close at the car yet but it came from New Jersey so...

Thanks Rick, I appreciate your efforts and understand completely how things disappear over time :)

I use a program called DoubleCad XT5, which is free. It isn't hard to learn, but it does take practice to get quick. The nice thing is that you can...

A few for fun.

Actually you are quite correct. Thanks for checking my work.The two short boards were in fact not parallel. I should have picked up on the...

I think that the miter slot comment came from the CSR thinking that the "sliding table" was their miter fence product which does use the slot...some...

There are special fencing pliers available that are very helpful with that removal task...example:

You just need to figure out the max an min moisture levels in you house from season to season. I used 5% humidity variation, but your location may...

This is where a CAD program comes in handy. I assumed that the outside faces of the non-continuous diagonal boards were aligned with the center...

The seasonal moisture changes for the back will be minimal Assuming a 5% moisture change in your house and that the screws are located 1" in from...

Outstanding Jerry. you couldn't have had a better day.

Some photos would be helpful for us to actually visualize what you are asking about... ;)

I have a few of those large nails/spikes around here somewhere...they are misplaced at the moment since moving, but I suspect they are in a box in...

LOL Rather than descending into a hole, I find it to be an elevation. :D :D :D Other than the balance in one's wallet, of course. ;)

I buy the PowerTec bags, too.

At work, I have a large Champion compressor running a pneumatic HVAC control system. It’s got two 3ph, 208V, 3-HP motors, (two separate belt-driven...

That is about the best father/son day I could imagine! Congratulations!

If you adjust the saw so the miter slot is parallel with the blade and the per the video, the fence should be aligned with the miter slot and the...

Make a low fence addition to use in conjunction with the factory fence. Then it is possible.

Forrest, Most bandsaws have wheels that are crowned. For those bandsaws, the blade typically needs to be centered on the upper wheel. Most more...

John, one thing to keep in mind that the add on "sliders" for cabinet saws are not the same thing that a sliding table saw features, especially...

Different configurations of bands for different purposes is the name of the game...also the bands that tend to be "in the box" with mass market...

I found that my Porter Cable 3 x 21 belt sander was doing the same thing with brand new belts. I examined the tension adjustment and fount that if I...

I agree with the others, factory supplied blades aren't very good. I used to have a problem with my Delta 14" band saw not cutting straight. After...

I’m assuming you raised the upper guide for the picture. If not, lower the guide to within ¼” of the workpiece before making the cut. Like Ken, the...

I purchased a new Mini-Max MM-16 over 10 years ago at a price of around $3,000. The blade that came on it was terrible! It is not unusual that the...

I've never been a real fan of "peel and stick", especially when it comes to durability, particularly with the adhesive. Then again, maybe things have...

Lots of walls are built with stones that are not flat/level, including angled as you show. If that stone is stable, leave it be. With or without...
