This is where I currently am with my research to heat my fully insulated 24x28x12 shop.

I found the Reznor UDZ line that comes with separate combustion chamber, able to be vented vertical or...

In upgrading my garage, I went both routes. I wrapped the walls and ceiling in 5/8" sheetrock and then put unfinished T1-11 around the perimeter where I could damage or wanted to mount stuff to. ...

I feel the daunting task before you as I recently took this journey.

I went with the Oneida Gorilla Pro 5 hp and 7" clamp together metal piping from Blast Gate Co. Looking at the Oneida...

I am researching components for my shop for a similar function.

Here is what I have found. The Rockler celling track is somewhat compatible with unistrut/superstrut 1 5/8 square strut. The...

What you essentially did was "pickle" the steel of your sawblade. Knife makers working with carbon steel still do this as a simple layer of protection. They often make designs on their blades by...

I wear Merrell Moab 2 hikers on a normal basis. In My shop I use Dura Cal interlocking kitchen mats.

My thought process was that the normal smooth mats become very slippery when covered in...

I installed the Jet cone in my grizzly G1029Z. I didn't perceive a loss in suction or airflow but I did notice the upper filter stays much cleaner now.

Bob over at I Like to Make Stuff on YouTube poured a custom silicone work surface. I use a couple rolls of heat resistant non stick oven liner mat for my bench top and lathe bed when necessary. I...

Kingston, Washington here, but I'm very much a noob in the turning arts.

Russell still actively posts in the Facebook Olympic turners group. I turned my first bowl with him as over instruction.

I went with Phillip's T8 bulbs in mine. 2000 lumens each bulb. Bulb color is 5000k. Color rendering index is 98. Fir me, 4100k is just barely too yellow and 6500k is way too blue. I found 5000k,...

In my shop I used Philip's fluorescent 4 footers with 98 CRI, 5000K. To be there is a hug difference between 80 and 98 cri. I also chose fixtures with specular reflectors.

I am enjoying...

This is what I was remembering. I believe Wood magazine did some comparisons of some of the 3hp models a while back. I would like to see them do a 5hp shootout.

It could be a "start" as Jim...

Greetings, all.

I'm doing the research for a wall mounted cyclone for installation in my shop that is in progress.

Particularly, I'm looking for an actual real world comparison between the...

Lights! If you want color correctness, the closer the lights are to 100 CRI the more correct they will render objects you are finishing. Most led and inexpensive fluorescent have a cri of around...

I watched her video when it first came out, and I cringed a little. However, maybe CV knows something we don't about what she was asking it to do and what the system was capable of - knowing those...

Awesome, guys! Thanks for the links and tips. All great nuggets of knowledge.

Good afternoon.
I have finally decided to delve into the wood turning game. Taking advantage of the Labor day sales, I ordered a Jet 1221VS.

I picked this lathe for several reason, first...

Hi, Lowell. Not finding consumables can be frustrating at times for sure! Are you specifically looking for Porter Cable branded nails? Any brand of high quality 34 degree, 15 gage nails 1"-2.5"...

Carl,
This is exactly what I am talking about. I plan on the Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro 5hp with smart technology while they are on sale.

Jim, Thanks!

Greetings,
I am researching cyclonic dust collectors and trying tofigure out installation strategy in my 24x28x12 garage. I would like to mount the cyclone as close tothe ceiling as possible. My...

Another option is to take a look at Oneidas new universal dust free router hood.

Oneidas website says it will fit the Dewalt 618.

The sawstop stand alone router table with sawstop branded (looks exactly like the General/Woodtek one) router lift has me curious. I am having a very hard time wanting to give Sawstop a dime,...

Greetings.

I have Grizzly G0555X Deluxe bandsaw. I noticed the G0555LX verson as a rack and pinion upper guide rod. Has anyone attempted/been successful with upgrading the free fall upper guide...

I cannot answer this question from personal experience, but from what I have read... if you are building up a film forming finish and you are looking for a sheen other then high gloss, you should...

I have the Grizzly G1029z and I did this modification. The pre-bended bar doesn't exactly meet the angle of the grizzly inards but I made it work by changing the angle of the bar. As far as I can...
