My opinion and my practice whenever possible is to remove the burn marks, either via sanding or with a scraper and/or a hand plane. A stain blocking primer can certainly help but there's still no...

The Emerald Urethane is reported to be an excellent project, but it's been said that there may be a slight amber cast due to how it's formulated. If that would be an issue for a light color, SW...

My Oneida is similar, but instead of a small bag, it's a small steel canister that clamps on the bottom of the filter. There's rarely anything in it that matters.. unless I've been stupid. That...

Wow..that's a VERY stout mobility solution! I guess the only thing that I would worry about normally would be an uneven floor, but that will not be an issue for the actual saw structure, for sure....

Can you? Yes, you can. But Dave is correct that most dust collection cartridge filter systems have some kind of catch container on the bottom of the filters (when oriented vertically) that provide a...

I do 24 hours on the BLO. Apply...let it set for a few minutes and then thoroughly wipe off any excess. Repeat the last step in a few hours just to be sure. (Dispose of the towels/rags safely) Be...

My understanding is that they are not using the debit cards for this round. But the previous one was from an bank that specializes in the same...just not one that most folks recognized as such.

I like the idea of continuing the bamboo theme, Ole....I'm a fan of keeping things simple and uniform for this kind of thing, so I hope that you find a product that will do the job for you.

I unfortunately have had to share your sadness with tree removal recently, including a couple of "yuge" ash near the house that had died from da bug and a crabapple in front of our home. The two...

Air infiltration is always the number one thing that has to be addressed...if the leaks are meaningful, the insulation isn't going to matter as much. Lower R value, but very well sealed can be a good...

There's an advantage even to "soft" pine flooring over plywood in that any minor damage from use doesn't reveal another layer under it like plywood would, pardon the expression. Our wide pine has...

It's a nice saw. The price being asked is substantially higher than I would pay...I agree with Bruce to offer $400 and maybe settle at $500 if necessary. No issues with the fence...many folks...

You ask a great question relative to processing the material...but you also need to ask yourself if you are using the right material. BB plywood, as nice as it is, still has a very thin veneer layer...

I was going to mention what Frank did.

One other thing...do the majority of your sanding before you cut the material down to short lengths or to final width. That makes it a lot easier and often...

I agree with the trailer suggestion. The weight handling capacity of a pick-em-up truck bed isn't all that substantial unless you have a one ton and logs are uber-heavy due to how much moisture is in...

While many of us have our shops as "conditioned space", even folks who work at ambient temps for the season will benefit from insulation. Chris makes a really important point above about his garage...

That fixture fabbed up really nicely!

Personally, if I were faced with putting "garage" doors on my future shop, I'd opt for doors that were as close to the same insulation value as my walls and also pay attention to how they seal. Your...

Oh, I believe you. I was just surprised since shielded Ethernet is not a common thing "out there" in my 38+ years of IT and Telecom experience. The only time I ever ran into it historically was with...

Don, it's good you have the skills and knowledge you have as it will make it easier to integrate CNC into your own shop. Your budget is going to be your limiting factor, honestly. That will get you...

That would be a "not fun" task to come up with something that's actually balanced, especially since a lot of those non-carbide blades, when you can find them, are somewhat thin.

When I used a few of them, I did have a fixture that seemed wonky and reversing the "tube" fixed it. That's why I mentioned it just for grins. :)

Interesting....shielded Ethernet cables are a lot less common, but I can see the appeal for this application as they may be running very close to "noisy" cabins to components.

Yes, the thin stuff is really handy for both "storage" situations when indicated as well as for when you want to acclimate material to your shop after purchase or after initial milling to equalize...

One aspect of many of these shows, particularly the competition type reality shows, that sometimes gets missed in the public eye is the long delay from recording until airing the "final" episode. In...
