As a retired Fire Chief and spending much time on ladders both in my profession that began in the 70's and in personal life, my climbing began on wooden ladders (both at work and home) and progressed...
I have the Laguna 18BX Bandsaw and like it really well.
The saw ships horizontally and came well packaged, encased in sturdy Styrofoam and surrounded by cardboard. I think there was wood...
I am considering purchasing a Homeright Super Finish Max HVLP Paint Sprayer and would appreciate any information anyone would have. I am also interested in anything anyone would like to share in...
My combination workbench / outfeed area / assembly table consists of two layers of 3/4" plywood that is screwed (not glued) together. I placed a sheet of hardboard on top that is secured with double...
I attended my first Woodworking Show last year in Columbus and found it to be okay. I also attended the bandsaw clinic with Alex Snodgrass and it was a treat to see and speak with him in person. I...
In answer to your questions...
Is the Grizzly worth $104 more...? All things considered and in having a chance to see the HF model in the store (and previously researching the upgrade options...
My dust collection system has evolved with my budget and needs. I began with a shop vac and quickly added a Dust Deputy to limit the constant filter clogging. The combo performed remarkable well...
The Freeman nailer kit came today and my first impression is that I like it, though the truth will come once I have had an opportunity to use put them to use. I ordered it through Home Depot,...
I appreciate the feedback and the very insightful replies, each of which broadened my knowledge base and was quite helpful. As often happens, the more I research and learn, the more my initial...

I have an 18 gauge B&D Firestorm brad nailer (inherited) that performs well but am in need of something larger in the 15 or...
I have the Dewalt DW611PK router with both the fixed and plunge base which I really like a lot. I have primarily used the router with the plunge base and the Rockler State Park Font Kit to make...
If cost is an issue, 4" PVC pipe is relatively inexpensive and the fittings are priced a lot less in comparison to 6" pipe and fittings. Depending on the size of your shop, number and types of...
From what I can see, I feel it may be overpriced. For the most part, 6" jointers seem quite readily available at somewhat cheap prices on Facebook Marketplace / Craigslist, at least from my search...
I have the Ridgid sander and it is a great compliment to the bandsaw. I have the two tools directly across from each other for convenient access and it functions quite well with no problems...
For breaking down sheet goods, a higher tooth count could provide a better cut. I just bought the Diablo 7-1/4" 60 tooth ultra fine finish blade (2 pack) from Home Depot for under $20. I haven't...
I don't have a miter saw and wasn't going to reply to this thread but thought I'd go ahead and show the set-up my radial arm saw since it is a somewhat similar concept.
I installed a rather basic...

I like the bi-metal Lenox Diemaster 2 blades for their cut quality, value and overall durability. My primary go-to blade that I leave on the saw is 1/4" 6tpi, and my secondary blade is 1/2" 4tpi,...
I still have some work to do before finishing the walls, but it will eventually be nice to have. Other than the radial arm saw, table saw and some of the hand power tools, most everything else was...
I kept things simple here and utilize a couple rows of shelving on my workebench where the tools are available for quick and easy access. For corded tools I just wrap the cord around the tool, and...
