Almost any of the many drawer manufacturers out there will create to your specification and ship directly to your desired location. Since they send a...

Informally giving advice and maybe observing them in their own shop isn't likely to be an issue...a mentor type relationship. Letting them work in...

I use fixed position floor sweeps in my shop and a broom. The plastic floor nozzel shown in the first picture is pretty much a generic component that...

If I were hiring out insulation, I would hire it out to an actual insulation contractor, not a builder or an HVAC firm. You want it done correctly...

You will likely want to thin the oil based version, too. It's a nice finish, but I found it to be pretty heavy "out of the can" the one project I...

They still sell both types. The ShopFox is similar in design to the W&H as a dedicated molding machine. The Grizzly version is basically a 13" planer...

This is how I'm currently handling it...

Oooh...I missed the cooler conditions. That's not a good thing for almost any finish like John mentions. You really need to provide temperature in...

Have to take that one to the eThrone on the iPad... :D

WHy? It's still a wall. It just has a different material at the bottom and maybe is an inch or two thicker at that point. It doesn't really impact...

What Prashun said...just always clean off the workpiece thoroughly after abrading before moving on to the next finishing step. Don't use mineral...

For me, too... ROFLOL! :D :D

Dennis, 'hope the stings are on the mend and that you get even more shop time going forward! During the week, my shop time was very limited. One...

For the kind of work you are doing, consider an air brush. Just be sure it's able to move the more viscous waterborne products...many are; some are...

Sometimes you need to put yourself in the mind of the originator of the design and production. While many of us who are woodworkers today get ill...

I've seen it both ways, Ole. Black is clearly for "visible' Installations when used as actual stove pipe.

It's not necessary to use the sealer but they are good products. I do use the EM1000 from time to time, particularly on the guitars I started...

It's a pretty good practice to seal indies and around the lettering, etc., that you're going to flood with paint whether you use a mask or not. I use...

SO many choices.... :) For spraying, waterborne is the way to go, IMHO. Great for your gun, too. Most (but not all) waterborne finishes tend to have...

BLO and wax for me...or shellac...or a wipe on oil based finish.

You must use wax free shellac for this application, but it's a very common method. Zinsser SealCoat is wax free if you want pre-mixed but making from...

Grizzly's Shop Fox moulder is more akin to the W&H for reasonable comparison based on what I just looked at in the catalog.

Tim Sway reviews the newest version in this new video... Pretty impressive for what it is.

Every bandsaw has a range of adjustment, so as long as the band is sized to be somewhere within that range, you're good to go. Bruce's suggestion to...

Even though I'm not an owner of any of their tools, I'd thoroughly enjoy walking through that store I'm sure. You are correct that while pictures in...

W&H molders are the "gold standard" for these machines. Setting aside your personal concerns with any given vendor, the W&H is designed specifically...

Current generations of higher end smartphones with multiple lenses like the iPhone have this capability and it's very kewel to be able to dial in the...

I think this idea has merit...these saws have arbors that generally are designed to handle a dado stack well and they have a bit more power to cut...
