I unfortunately have had to share your sadness with tree removal recently, including a couple of "yuge" ash near the house that had died from da bug...

Air infiltration is always the number one thing that has to be addressed...if the leaks are meaningful, the insulation isn't going to matter as much....

There's an advantage even to "soft" pine flooring over plywood in that any minor damage from use doesn't reveal another layer under it like plywood...

It's a nice saw. The price being asked is substantially higher than I would pay...I agree with Bruce to offer $400 and maybe settle at $500 if...

You ask a great question relative to processing the material...but you also need to ask yourself if you are using the right material. BB plywood, as...

I was going to mention what Frank did. One other thing...do the majority of your sanding before you cut the material down to short lengths or to...

I agree with the trailer suggestion. The weight handling capacity of a pick-em-up truck bed isn't all that substantial unless you have a one ton and...

While many of us have our shops as "conditioned space", even folks who work at ambient temps for the season will benefit from insulation. Chris makes...

That fixture fabbed up really nicely!

Personally, if I were faced with putting "garage" doors on my future shop, I'd opt for doors that were as close to the same insulation value as my...

Oh, I believe you. I was just surprised since shielded Ethernet is not a common thing "out there" in my 38+ years of IT and Telecom experience. The...

Don, it's good you have the skills and knowledge you have as it will make it easier to integrate CNC into your own shop. Your budget is going to be...

That would be a "not fun" task to come up with something that's actually balanced, especially since a lot of those non-carbide blades, when you can...

When I used a few of them, I did have a fixture that seemed wonky and reversing the "tube" fixed it. That's why I mentioned it just for grins. :)

Interesting....shielded Ethernet cables are a lot less common, but I can see the appeal for this application as they may be running very close to...

Yes, the thin stuff is really handy for both "storage" situations when indicated as well as for when you want to acclimate material to your shop...

One aspect of many of these shows, particularly the competition type reality shows, that sometimes gets missed in the public eye is the long delay...

It really depends upon the material. You can also accomplish air flow if desired by using very thin stickers...cut up some cheap 1/4" luan plywood...

Congrats on getting your machine (parts) in-house and moving toward your build! BTW, you really need to open that battered box right away in case...

Chris, did you try flipping the LED "tubes" end for end when they failed to start?

Justin, if you're going to be doing a reasonable amount to a lot of this technique, a dedicated tool could be a good investment.

The trim router is a good way to do this, but you have to make a much larger base to provide the support you need to keep it level as you run it down...

If you don't have a specific purpose for a CNC machine that would preclude using the Shapeoko XXL, it's not a bad option as either a hobby machine or...

It will be likely ok. Now just for grins, what I would have considered doing for that middle layer that's currently cross gain and at question...
