Truly beautiful, Glenn.

I buy carpet tape from Amazon...it's very sticky and stays stuck. Sometimes I use the painter's tape and superglue method which can be very...

Unless it's been discontinued, I believe that Lee Valley has a lettering setup, but just using Microsoft Word or similar to make paper templates you...

Since you have the original panels (and hardware) to measure from, it shouldn't be a difficult operation to construct new panels to replace the old...

The material itself will make for a very nice router table stop. Do pay attention to supporting it well because hanging a heavy router under it can...

The Radiata pine plywood (one great face) is generally at about $49 and has become my "utility" plywood. It has very thick face veneers, too.

Just for the record, Corian and other solid surface material cuts and works easily with normal woodworking tools...it's what fabricators use. (I love...

Greg, I think you need to ask this question to folks who do and know industrial systems...folks like Oneida who sell rotary air locks and show setups...

That was a nice update to your shop, Bob. I had to chuckle when you referred to your old thickness planer as a "screamer". Have you turned on that...

Pretty darn stunning work, Mreza!!!!

Dennis, congrats to your other half! That's a wonderful achievement and the support you gave her is clearly top notch. Not much to report on the...

I use rubber Fernco sewer pipe adapters to, um...adapt...5" hose to my 120mm ports. These are easily accessible at your local home center.

Scott, if you PM me with some additional information I can likely help you understand what the machining requirements might be. And yes, I'd keep...

I got a quote from them recently "just for grins"...and it was $10K less than Carmax. And this was on a vehicle with extremely low mileage and almost...

Walnut trees rarely grow straight so a 14' walnut board is at "yuge" risk for having sap and other defects. And as has been noted, Walnut is graded...

The batteries tend to have "variable" life. But what's also important is to clean the solar panels with reasonable frequency...a reasonable...

My aids pair with my iPhone...'just not the watch. I don't find it limiting as I don't get many calls and wear my phone in a belt holster...

Ah...I missed that. ------ My Dr. and I discussed splitting near/far as I had already had LASIK in 2003 and had good far vision, but in the end,...

You have good justification for the conduit, Jerry, and I'd probably do that in the same situation. My run from the shop to the shed isn't in a...

I wear progressive lenses and so does Professor Dr. SWMBO. Even my computer glasses (that I have on as I type this) are progressive, but with the...

Yea, there are some really nice modular rail systems available these days. There is still a requirement to have secure fastening points for the...

That's pretty much what it was like at our old property, but there were many places that it was not possible to dig very far. The neighbor's back...

I had my right eye done as a follow-up to macular hole surgery. Holy color spectrum, Batman! We really don't realize just how our eyesight...

David, there are a wide variety of plant types that just cannot grow under or near walnut trees. It's, I guess, a "non compete" chemical it puts into...

One of the pleasures of a property that has essentially no rocks in the soil, unlike our previous property which was pretty much one big rock: the...

24"+ per code. I could have done 18" in conduit. The Big Orange Power Tool had no issue making the trench more than deep enough :D

I have some of the UniClamps and like them for small jobs like you want to do. They are not necessarily "true parallel" clamps, but at the clamping...

I kinda agree with Jack relative to this specific application. While a removable fitting used in the shop might be a big benefit for surface mount...
