I do and I love it. It slides so smoothly I slide it back and forth just to feel the quality. It's rock solid. The fence stays square. Haven't...

I realize it doesn't make sense but here's what happened... After testing the voltage from the ironworker's metal stair railing to their trailer...

That's what I've got. My only problem is once the whole setup gets going, it can be a bit unwieldy, but that's because it's on a pitched floor...

I used their 3550 with the extension for my table saw. With all wheels swiveling it can do a 360 in the space of the length of the equipment. For...

Glen, Those are beautiful ! I see them as Tea Caddys, precious casks for precious tea, which in earlier days was always locked and often kept in...

The perfect height of a table saw is the height that works best for you. As to DIY a mobile base out of wood, over the years I've done that on...

Go tell that to the iron worker foreman after he got shocked grabbing the doorknob of his grounded office trailer.

Years ago “rub bearing “ was only used for non ball bearing (often shop made), wooden “bearings “….coated with bees wax. I’ve used them, but that...

Lisa, glad you are back.

I used that method for my Hammer A3-31. But the shipper added a second pallet under the factory pallet, which made everything more fun. I used 3/4...

While working on my neighbor's remodel, he bought some M18 tools. I used his 7-1/2" circular saw a number of times and it cut through 8/4 lumber...

After we had a lightning strike on a jobsite I was working on, I got a 50 volt reading to ground on the doorknob of the iron workers trailer. The...

Took me a minute to remember….”mid century modern”….without seeing “rabbet ears” ! I think it was seeing the “horizontal hold needs adjustment “ ...

. Scott, I posted that point here once. Thanks for your efforts to stop “acridnyms “ , I coined that because when I see lists of nuttiness my eyes...

Well, I just now noticed that in the “original detail” pic the vertical bar and and bottom rail don’t even have the same profile. So I think it was...

You could make wooden “fingers”. Angled board with saw cuts making each about 3/16ths wide. Clamp to fence. Or use screws if you use a...

The more wood working secrets you have to impart , the more free labor you can get ! Here’s one: “ Yes, that’s a block plane ,but I don’t ‘wanna...

At last real wood has beaten the wildest faux-finish-fakes !! Now it’s time to sell that design to a laminate manufacturer ! James Bond would...

On a job I heard a guy complain about a router bit moving. Asked him if he had inserted the bit all the way ,and then backed it out an 1/8th. He...

Agree with Mitch. And it’s a pretty steep stair. Newel post is interesting, and the painted rail might be the work of someone who didn’t like ...

Hot hide glue for veneering was thin . Stop the vicious cycle of too viscous glue.

The corners are rounded . Not just too heavily loaded with paint ,but really rounded . Looks like they could have even been made with a router and...

I don’t like carbide knives for use on wood. They are not as sharp as steel, but are good for woods with a lot of silica ,and for plastic and even...

That’s a good looking machine ! Been years since I’ve used one of those. They have a nice feature in that each full revolution of the Big Wheel...

The knives are probably lowest grade. I would buy M2 or T1 steel, do not accept stuff described as having “same hardness as M2 “. Only high...

I’ve seen a lot of falls as people stepped over the integral benches. Sometimes one slim agile person has to get up so that a fat one can get out,...

Use a single flute router bit, they cut much faster than the standard two flute bits. Hard to find in stores , so order on line. Should be a...
