The poles on the street my parents live on were installed when my grandfather bought the property with 1000' of road frontage. That was about 78 years ago. The poles are being replaced now not...

I've been a member of a large woodworking club for 20+ years. The focus of the club is on teaching woodworking through hands on classes. Classes are taught by skilled members as well as...
Drywall joint compound would work just fine for this... inexpensive, easy to apply and sand. Premixed all purpose compound would probably be fine but if the "holes" are big a "hot mud" (quick...
The Crown Tools 110XW might work better... it has a spring loaded mechanism that can probably be applied multiple times to drive the brads into oak.
We must have used the same companies... I had two DJ-20 jointers show up damaged. The first one had pieces of broken cast iron fall out of the crate as it was being unloaded. The second had a broken...
I have an MS261 without Mtronic. I heard too many negative things from tree service guys and shops about the computerized Stihl and Husky saws... I'm Okay with tweaking the carburetors, using...
Funny, when I got my DJ-20 17 years ago it was pretty much "the" jointer to have... especially in a hobby shop. Norm had one and the related discussions on rec.woodworking were favorable for years....
There are a couple saw features that should be considered.
One is gunning sights. These are lines embossed and/or painted on the power head that you use to line up your cut in directional...
In my experience running a longer bar for cutting small stuff is a lot easier on your back... less bending. How long of a bar depends on your height and arm length.
Having adequate power is...
I suspect that the flooring was glued as OSB generally doesn't take and hold staples and nails as well as plywood or solid wood. Given that part of the OSB has been ripped off in removing the...
I had a Jet contractors saw with cast iron wings, Xacta fence, Biesemeyer T-Splitter, zero clearance insert, and a dust collector pan (??). It was a great saw but after about a year and a half I...
Lift gate "capacity" seems to be a fuzzy concept... I moved a large safe one time and the trunk rental company assured me that the lift gate was rated to handle it. Where things went bad was when the...
You might try pulling the bar(s) and chain(s) off and see just how much more compact the saws are compared to its/their assembled size. Doing so might present you with a viable short term storage...
I generally leave my Stihl MS261 and MS461 saws sit on the concrete shop floor with bar covers on if I'm using them regularly. The oil cap on the 461 was replaced (a few dollars). Sometimes there is...
I’ll be using ash and poplar for the flooring and trim... “dry” wood that will be relatively small and light by the time it reaches the shaper. The boards I’m starting with (20-30” wide flitch sawn...
That is the plan... to finalize the width with the tongue cutter.
I understand big... I ended up with pretty big stuff in my home shop after I quickly found I simply couldn't do what I wanted to do with smaller stuff... Now I have a Jet 3 HP cabinet saw, 18" Jet...
The climb cutting is plan B... In working with the ash I'm seeing some splintering. If it proves to be minor, or only on random boards, I'll cut in the normal matter. However, I want to be prepared...
... for climb cutting on a 3 HP shaper? I tried searching the site but didn't see this addressed... might have missed it!
I want to run 3/4" x 4" ash through T&G flooring cutters to make about...
