I wouldn't pay it any mind. Epoxy pours are very popular right now, which also means they are very unpopular with a certain population. It's...

I use paraffin wax for pretty much everything. Paraffin is cheap, versatile, easy to find (I get it at the grocery store) and it works. Plus it's...

Founder's grade /ˈfoundərs ɡrād/ adjective 1. a description of a cast metal object of unknown quality 2. an embellishment disguised as a...

$450 for a workbench in 2009 sounds like quite a bargain now!

I'm not seeing a whole lot on the used market. The Laguna LT16 SEC (Meber) and a Mini Max E16 (Centauro) have popped up. Both look to be in really...

I love it! That's kind of what I did for a while. Only I ran 4ft long F clamps across the top of my table, because there isn't a lip underneath. ...

Using new glue, I've had no problems with TB3 in temperatures applied near the bottom of their recommendations, with overnight temps dropping near,...

1. I can't say for sure about the blades. You may want to remove the old blades and take some measurements. But so long as their the same length,...

$30 for all of that? That's crazy! I couldn't buy that much pine for that price!

In my experience, this is every profession. And more important than business savvy, if you want to consider it a separate thing, is networking. I...

I'm sure some still do. But I wouldn't be surprised if most, especially the younger generations, haven't gotten away from that. I know it was...

When glueing end grain to end grain with a PVA glue, it's best to mix up a 50/50 mixture of water and glue and apply that to the end grain. Then...

I've read a lot of people complaining about it failing on them. But personally, I've never had an issue. I used it on some outdoor planters a few...

I'm flexible on budget. It's gonna cost what it costs and I have a bit of money saved up. But I'm not rich, so I every dollar spent towards a...

It's not as bad as it sounds. And no, I'm very skinny (except for my pot belly). You just take lots of little breaks to catch your breath and focus...

A Hock blade and chip breaker would be a worthy upgrade for that plane. So I wouldn't say no to it, since those are things I would probably want to...

Thank you. This also helps out a lot. I think I'm learning what I need to know. And I'm leaning towards a new G0513, depending on what I can...

With all due respect, I think I understand a lot better what you're saying than you understand what I'm saying. And that's perfectly understandable....

That's my thinking. I'm okay with the idea of taking an excruciatingly long time resawing a 12" board, as I won't do it much (if ever). Two hours...

Yeah. Hardwood doesn't always mean hard wood. Good examples are balsa, a hardwood with a 300 Janka hardness, or Yew, a softwood with a 1520 Janka...

I'm okay with having to flatten the board after resawing. I do that now when I resaw by hand. Plus, any wood I buy has to be planned flat. I'm not...

I didn't read the article, but that's what I heard. It worked. But it used a different technology from SawStop and in order for it to work right,...

I could see that being an issue. But I haven't experienced that yet. And I usually chamfer or round over the edges of pretty much anything I make...

What about a Laguna LT16 SEC (Meber)? I found one in good shape with lots of add-ons. I've heard both good and bad things about the Meber variant. ...

That's good info. Thanks for posting!

Oklahoma City-ish. I'd really like to avoid shipping. Especially for a used machine. Not just to avoid the cost, but also because I have had...

Can you flex the blade? Or is it too thick and rigid like the blade on an 81, 12 or 112? I'd assume it would last longer, just because Hock...

Which battery? Are they the 18v/20v, 40v/80v, 60v?

That's actually one of the few used bandsaws I've seen come up that weren't ridiculously priced! I think it was $800. I passed on it because of the...
