Congrats, Brian! Nothing like a new tool to spice up one's life!!

He specifically mentioned that he used those because they were what is very commonly used in folks' shops. My shop has two of them, as a matter of...

You are likely in "computer view" (full) mode rather than "mobile view" mode. The latter is easier to read, but has limitations on what you can do,...

Yes, the resource I was trying to get out was set up specifically for slabbing. I was really, really, REALLY disappointed that it didn't happen as...

I've broken more .25" shank tooling than .125" shank tooling on my CNC, but it's always human error that causes it. :o

Yes, it's standard because you are borrowing based on the value of the property for the HELOC and the property is therefore, securing the lender for...

Heat. Turn a wooden caul on your lathe to match the diameter of the inlet you need to get your plastic pipe to fit over that has a short flat spot...

Carbide Create is a good basic application. Just keep in mind that you will likely grow out of it, perhaps even quickly, depending on how fast you...

That is indeed very true, Dave.

I don't think it's necessary to "super sand" the pre-finished material in prep for paint. Just abrade it enough to give a little "tooth" for the...

Bill, properties are still selling quickly here...despite the pain of the higher rates...because there is still not enough available housing for the...

Yea, but they have to fight giant spiders and snakes to get it. :) :D

Since a lot of the strength of a construction like that comes from how the material intersects with each other and how adjacent components help...

This past weekend, I took a couple hours and got the groundwork done for finally putting in the walkway to the shop from the rear patio. The Big...

Abrading and then using a good primer should give you a very nice end result. You're actually starting with a very nice smooth surface which is a...

Yea, that's only top end for the lowest end machine. LOL (which is not a qualitative statement since these are all great machines...just a line...

The most interesting appraisal experience I had with the old property was that the guy that same out for the buyers was the same guy who did the...

It's true that a lot of kitchen utensils have heavier handles at this point...largely from the effort to make them more comfortable to hold and...

We had normal spring in January and February this year, other than a few short cold dips. Bulbs, hostas and other plants are already partially up....

I have been running my G700 at both 5900 and "full blast" for awhile now. There's been zero evidence of anything other than true fines getting...

Counting early/mail-in ballots before the close of election day is called "pre-canvassing". And yes, it's not permitted in a number of states while...

Agreed. But my point was that it's an available option. It's honestly the same situation relative to inspection contingency. The successful buyers of...

The Felder/Hammer and the SCM/Minimax are likely going to be the best options for new because you can get single phase with the capacity you want...

John, IMHO, there's no way you're going to get .125" DOC in non-ferrous metal with the kinds of machines we run. With wood? yea. Metal...nope. So...

Not appraising high enough doesn't necessarily stop the buyer from getting the property, depending on how the contract offer was written and other...

Regardless of what it is...it's not hard to look at! That's a work of art.

Comps are not always reliable. In my little story above, that was absolutely the case with our old property. The comparables were within reasonable...

We bid high and got some of that back from the appraisal coming back lower as well as the inspection that allowed me to come up with a hefty list of...

'Hope you enjoy it! But that Rockler blue flex is uber-expensive stuff!! I buy PowerTec generally off Amazon.
