Left is the pilot on. Just seems too large and yellow/orange instead of blue as it should be. Right is the gas valve on this heater. I'm thinking the top recessed screw is where the pilot...

Yes, that's my heater. I wouldn't think i'd need a new pilot either, but i couldn't figure out what else it was. The thermocouple and the solenoid valve worked fine. Maybe i cleaned out some junk in...

I've got an empire vented propane heater, Housewarmer series (HWDV181DV) in my shop for about 10 years. I typically have to clean out the pilot and insides before each winter, but this time i had to...

It's good to hear people have good experience with the insulation benefit. I'll talk to the installer about the types of edge seals they can put it. Part of my worry too is that my shop was built...

I have wooden garage doors on a two car garage. One half the garage is sealed off as my shop, with heating. I bought a fiberglass insulation kit for the doors, and the sections of insulation just...

I've been building a shed and used my starrett square while doing it. One too many times i left it outside with my tools when it was too damp and it's got some rust, worst on the protractor head....

Thanks! I had some older ones with the black lever, but not these. These i just had to yank very hard, much harder than i expected. All installed!

I bought a couple center mount drawer slides (https://www.rockler.com/centerlinereg-lifetime-series-714-35-lb-center-mount-drawer-slides). The instructions say to separate the drawer piece from the...

I'm in the middle of building a shed and didn't think too carefully about the trim boards. I was planning on using azek (cellular PVC) for trim around a couple doors and windows. The smart siding...

Hi all,

I'm thinking about starting to build a roubo bench, but i have a couple questions before i start. I have a good hobby workshop with pm66, 8" jointer, drill press, nice bandsaw, 15"...

I thought about doing that and that's probably safer, but I wanted to keep it a little less bulky on the bottom. I figured that lengthwise it would move the same as the rail at the top, and width...

i was ambiguous in the question. I was interested in construction methods as Jay said. It looks like most tables like this have the shelf go a little further into the leg, but perhaps they also...

i call the other one a sideboard because that's what it looks similar too, but i actually use it as an entertainment center. So this table is an end table for a couch.

I just finished this end table (still drying in my shop), that pairs with my recently completed cherry sideboard...

Thanks for all the positive feedback!

I like a little bit of sapwood. You can't really see the top, but i have a nice wide 12" board as the center, with a little sapwood on each side as well. ...

I always like looking at completed projects on here for inspiration and wanted to share mine for the same reason. I just finished this sideboard. This was the largest piece i've ever done. The...

Thanks for all the good suggestions. I'm expecting to have it shipped freight to my house, so it'll be on a pallet. Not sure yet if it will be shipped vertical or on its spline. I think i could...

I'm considering purchasing a larger 18+" bandsaw, used or new. I have a one car garage finished workshop with a garage door, but a finished level floor behind it (so the floor is about 4" above the...

I used to live in northern Baltimore, and i bought from two places: World of Hardwoods in Linthicum, MD, and Freestate Timbers in Timonium, MD. They both have websites. I found the selection much...

I had the same setup (delta with Wynn filter and trash can separator), and i switched to the super dust deputy (the metal version). A lot more of the chips drop into the bucket with the dust deputy....

I figured i would post a picture since i got some tips on design and installation here. Thanks for all your help!

This is primarily quartersawn white oak, "fumed" by wiping on 10% ammonia,...

i use a kitchen sponge and bucket of water. after you rinse the sponge out, it's quite clean and i save it for next time. dump the rinse water down the drain.

Brian, i'm not sure what class "A" means. This is my existing house, not new construction. I checked the codes for the fireplace and woodstove insert, so all the clearances are met.

I'll check...

I'm trying to design a fireplace mantel, and while i like the look of what i came up with (inspired by this: http://www.woodweb.com/galleries/project/posts/2111.html), i'm not sure about parts of the...

Thanks for your thoughts.

This wood is meant to cover an LVL beam in my living room. I had some trees down in my yard and cut into lumber and am in the process of building a fireplace mantel...
