Move to a state that understands responsible use of oil based products by hobbyists does no harm to the environment whatsoever.

sorry.

What a piece of junk. Who's been giving you advice on this thing anyway? :D

Can't wait to see it in a couple weeks. Pre-pull festivities on the new porch? I'll bring the fern.

My experience with crosscut sleds is that you will never stop chasing them. Just when you think you've got it cutting accurately - WAM - it's out again. I finally gave up & started using automotive...

Birch plywood is produced in multiple countries including China. Don't assume that because it's birch, it's from North America.

I don't get a chance to watch him much anymore, but noticed the shaking last weekend when I watched a couple episodes. Not to start any bad vibes or rumors, but I hope all is well with his health.

Here's a link to a mantel I posted on here a couple years ago:

It'll be someone you've never heard of. It's not about how much you know, but how much you can get across to your audience.

My Dad used to always ask, would you rather have a teacher who has a...

Or bad framers. A good rock job begins with framing.

Dennis - you've got plenty of advise here, but I've hung a ton of crown molding around bull-nose corners so I can't help myself from chiming in.

1) The outside corners are NOT hard to do, they...

First a disclosure: I'm a quality engineer for Toyota.

Second my background: I grew up a diehard Ford guy working in my Dad's engine rebuilding business, am a jouneyman automotive machinist, have...

Joe,

I've got a used Delta Unisaw in good condition for sale in the Cincinnati area. PM me if you're interested & I'll send pics. I'd be willing to meet half way for exchange.

My $0.02:

Find an old-timer to weld the top (yes, cast iron can be welded by those who know how), and have it ground until flat.
Disregard the scratches and dings left behind. They don't hurt...

Sometimes you gotta know where to draw the line, and this may be it. It would be extremely difficult to match the quality and durability of a higher-end, factory produced wood window like Anderson,...

Jim,

Just curious - why do you not use the ripping fence?

"The board is then flipped around since we now have a perfectly straight reference edge and ripped to width using both the miter...

My guess is something is wrong with the GFCI outlet. If you try the compressor in another GFCI outlet, I'll be it works.

0.003 is negligible when it comes to wood. I'd keep looking for runout somewhere else.

How do I sharpen my chisels with a Battlestar Galatica DVD?

Ditto on what Jim says - except I just blow it off.

Seems like a little grabing & jerking happens from time to time. Be extra careful when that happens to make sure there are no deep scratches...

I know this goes contrary to everything you hear about Hitachi SCMS's, but my 10" version has been an absolute nightmare from day 1. Hands down, it's durability has been the worst of any expensive...

That thing is awesome. I wasn't aware of any current uses of torque tube construction except for sprint cars.

Most likely the threads are just messed up. If you can't ID the pitch by sight, trying running a 3/8's coarse tap into the hole. That's most likely what it is since fine threads don't work out too...

Very nicely done!

Can someone explain how to use the paypal option Z mentioned. I have a paypal account, but can't figure out how to direct the payment to Z.

Keel - I build a swing about 10 years ago of almost identical design. I didn't add a cross beam & it's been no problem. However, the front-most eye bolts are mounted lower, going through the arm...

Mortise the vertical posts into the horizontal feet & use double biscuits for the angled braces.
