Dennis, 'glad you're getting shop time. Robert...looking great, both the project at hand and your tool wall. First time I've see a wider shot of...

It's been "on my list" for a long time for the same application as Josh mentions...hold down on my CNC which will reduce my use of screws. It's not...

Yea, best of both worlds with the warmth of oil based and the easy application/cleanup and fast drying time of waterborne all rolled into one with...

That's reasonable, but you'll still need to sand all those edges and may need to spray a second coat.

Pick/obtain the slides before you build the drawers so you have the necessary dimensions to fit the undermounts, um...under...the drawer bottom as...

You certainly can use "regular" full extension slides with inset doors, but to keep the look for a project like this, undermounts would be a good...

Jointers. Big ones. "Yuge", even. The SCM is 410mm which is about 16" wide.

The extreme bond primer is good stuff, but I'm also perplexed at the recommendation of the most expensive, premium product for the issue that you...

I run between 12-14K for my .25" compression tooling. Your depth is correct as that's about the minimum for most .25" compression cutters in order to...

For compatibility research, it's not a "poly"...it's a waterborne finish...so that's the way you need to pose the question to the folks at Permachink.

Of course they are...they got lonely since you didn't open the drawer for so long and had to cuddle to feel better. :) :D

No harm in experimenting with a variety of different ideas on this, Paul. Make each idea easily removable so you can switch things around to find...

Good that the new collets are well balanced...it really can make a big difference. For the tooling breaking, check your chip load as that's what...

Aaron, I'll suggest that you keep your overnight setbacks reasonable so that the required rise is less taxing on the system and that should help...

Yes, those are perennial favorites for fixing, um...boo-boos. That said, the latest generation of elastic bandages includes some that actually stay...

It would not increase CFM for sure...you can't fit more air through a smaller space unless you found a way to greatly increase velocity. It might...

The magnets are a nice idea, Aaron. That's a really nice looking organizer, too!

Adapting to a specific slot size isn't that hard...I made sticks of material out of oak that precisely fit the tee slot in my SCM/Minimax wagon so I...

I don't recall anyone doing that, but I guess it's possible and might slightly reduce noise. ----- I will make one very strong recommendation to...

I have a couple of the Kreg clamps and will have to see what I can do to adapt them for use on the slider wagon. I don't mind the cam clamps in a...

That's correct, Lee. The agency was underfunded for a very long time and was unable to replace people and systems accordingly. That's what's...

Derek, I think there's a good reason to both enclosed and open storage for chisels and other tools when one has a large variety of them. The most...

That's a good tip, John...I hadn't thought of using Extender for brushing, even though I incorporate it occasionally in other scenarios.

Believe it or not, one of the reasons I want to get the chisels out and on the wall is so I have an actual visual reminder to sharpen the darn...

Are you just jogging the tool down to that indicator like you would for measuring direct to the spoilboard? (Just curious)

An explosion proof fan is required if one is spraying materials that are, um...explosive. It's not "required" for waterborne finishes and I'd not be...

Curt, the oil modified Minwax product (the flooring version) does have a nice warm look. It's an emulsified product that brings the benefits of oil...

Ah, but even if you are making cabinet parts you must measure the material thickness to be able to accurately dimension the panels so that the...

The prototype til, as mentioned in the thread for that, had less of a slope and that was problematic for the tools staying in place...

Because material is never nominal thickness. When using the spoilboard top as the Z-zero reference you need to know the "exact" thickness of the...
