TIME TO BREAK GROUND for the new shop building. My permit is approved and I just have to pick it up (and pay for it) when it physically reaches the...

Busy can be a blessing, Dennis. :) This past week has been a mish-mash of landscaping and getting started on a quick laundry room remodel. We...

I agree with Andy...I'd choose the long leg vertical for more weight under a narrower shelf and short leg vertical for a wider shelf for bigger bulk...

Oh, I wasn't saying that the responses you got were appropriate...they were not and customers deserve better, especially from someone who is supposed...

I think that the miter slot comment came from the CSR thinking that the "sliding table" was their miter fence product which does use the slot...some...

There are special fencing pliers available that are very helpful with that removal task...example:

Some photos would be helpful for us to actually visualize what you are asking about... ;)

I have a few of those large nails/spikes around here somewhere...they are misplaced at the moment since moving, but I suspect they are in a box in...

LOL Rather than descending into a hole, I find it to be an elevation. :D :D :D Other than the balance in one's wallet, of course. ;)

I buy the PowerTec bags, too.

John, one thing to keep in mind that the add on "sliders" for cabinet saws are not the same thing that a sliding table saw features, especially...

Different configurations of bands for different purposes is the name of the game...also the bands that tend to be "in the box" with mass market...

I've never been a real fan of "peel and stick", especially when it comes to durability, particularly with the adhesive. Then again, maybe things have...

Lots of walls are built with stones that are not flat/level, including angled as you show. If that stone is stable, leave it be. With or without...

Mobility is not an issue for most short stroke sliders.

Yes, it should be fine if put down property. Really tiny wheels for mobility might not be the best choice, but larger ones that are more typical...

I didn't mention a slider earlier because of the specific question asked in the OP by the OP :) but since that's been broached...yea, that would be...

I haven't studied what's the best practice for seams on the roll-out material, but will have to do that. There may be an appropriate tape product for...

Very interesting old tool and something that could be quite useful. Fabrication of a guard for around the belt might be a good idea while you are...

I'm starting to find this idea actually attractive vs painting/coating for my new shop, both for cost and for installation time. Three rolls of that...

Even though I'm moving to clamp-together duct for the new shop, given the choice between spiral and snap lock, I'd pick spiral after having used snap...

That's a good observation, John. I like that idea, honestly.

Sorry, I thought the one with the nice paint had been attended to.

Pat, for most folks, the 3hp machine pretty much covers everything they likely would do, regardless of color/label. Adequate power for common thicker...

My money would be on the X17 being more than sufficient for what you want to do. I'm likely going one below that for my shop project, honestly.

I'd pick the one that's already been restored and make any required minor tweaks to it. :)

Honestly, I've never seen a post frame structure with a truss spacing more than 4'. I would imagine it's possible for something small or for when...

Every post frame I've seen has had trusses both over the poles and intermediate on the double top headers that run the length of the building sides....

If I'm not mistaken, post-stressed/tensioned slabs have cables in them that are tightened after the pour is cured. I remember seeing that on an...

The way it's done is that sheathing is applied to the horizontal girts before your siding goes on. It's not necessary to build stud walls between the...
