John, for many years, I've used a horizontal holster on my belt for my phone. It keeps the phone handy and also provides a lot more protection than...

Although I have done work for others and had a part time business post-retirement, it's pretty much all hobby/avocation here other than one guy that...

Richard, I truly appreciate hand tools and what they can lend to the process and for me, that's for the finesse work. There's no harm in using...

The thing is that it seems that most folks don't have this issue, so I really do suspect there is something interfering with the position of the hood...

A rainscreen under the shingles is a good practice in current methodologies as far as I know. This is independent of any kind of house wrap or water...

I currently have one from Lee Valley (I mostly work in metric in the shop) for when my steel rules are not long enough. I've had zero issues with the...

You can generally get metal tubing from a carport type building manufacturer that you can use to frame out for windows and other opentings consistent...

Good point...my eyes were reading "bridle" but seeing "lap"...oy! Of course that applies to the "mortise" part of the bridle. The tongue is often...

I agree with Patrick's premise...what you want to do has impact on what you choose to invest in for CNC. Furniture parts, for example, have some...

I agree with Eric. 5" hose to that 120mm port and a reasonable 3+ HP cyclone are more than adequate for these J/Ps. Yes, some material will get by...

^^ This is absolutely a "natural law" and is very much related to Murphy's Law, too... ;)

The best way to go is to "roll your own" using an appropriately rated contactor on the 240v side for amperage and either 120v or low voltage on the...

Isn't that backwards, Glenn? ;) Box = rip; bridle = cross

Beautiful and functional at the same time!

Yea, it's really about a "frequency" thing, Dave. Consider that we can wear a hole in something with just our fingers with enough rubbing and time....

^^ This is the question that also entered my mind. Face jointing nearly always causes some differences in thickness, side to side and end to end,...

Yea, RR is the bee's knees when it comes to post frame structures...few builders go as far as Kyle and Greg go when it comes to straight and square...

That sounds like a defective installation. If you've ever had to physically remove the stuff, you'll have found it really takes a lot of effort and...

If you want a Rotex to compliment your existing 125mm sander, get the Rotex 125. The Rotex 90 is really a "specialty" tool that excels in heavy stock...

I bought my CNC in 2018. To me it's like that old saying about hammers where to a hammer, everything looks like a nail. I feel the same way about my...

That's a nice setup, Derek. If that hanging shelf can be removed you could make another, close up the spacing and likely get two more in there... :)

Oh, it will adhere just fine...

A 'Tuber I watch has the system. Thing is, I'm not a "pegboard" kind of person and never have been. That's why the "system" is of less interest to me...

Filtering by email address isn't all that effective these days because of email address randomization, etc. The better filtering systems also look at...
