    What he said.

    Desk project looks nice. I still tend to agree with your wife. A nice veneered plywood with sold edging would work very well. I don't know about where other folks are, but...

    I'm very lazy...and practical, at least when it comes to things that are primarily functional. I am just finishing up a desk for my basement home office, which will also serve as a media room, bar,...

    I guess for me it depends on the application. If it's going to be painted, and there is no structural or strength issue (as in a short-span bookcase for a child's room or playroom or something),...

    Why use plywood at all, then? When you think about it, the tape is really just small plywood.

    I just finished a set of bookcases. I'm lazy and I'm sure this is not the preferred way to do it, but I just used the iron-on edging. I've been using that stuff for 20 years on all kinds of things,...

    Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I haven't decided what I'm going to do with it. It annoys the heck out of me, but I otherwise really like the saw. I added the outfeed extension, which...

    Refinishing Conference Table

    Hi Folks,

    I don't get over to this part of the Creek that often, but I'm hoping some kind soul(s) will be able to give me a little advice.

    We were given this conference table. It's pretty...

    Yep. I spent a lot of time looking for one for just that reason -- not just the cheap blades, but the ability of the saw to use common 7 1/4 inch blades, which are readily available in all types and...

    I disagree. Just because bigger will (or might) do "the same job" doesn't mean bigger is better. A 20 inch bandsaw will cut nice circles in 1 inch stock, if you put the right blade on it and set it...

    I picked up that little Craftsman 7 1/4 inch SCMS not long ago on sale for $99. I wanted a small one for my small shop (and small projects). It's about the only gig in town in that size. I find it...

    I know there's a few more Creekers in this area. But even with two or three it should be a nice thing to do. One thing, Condon is not open on weekends. So we'll have to do this on a weekday. ...

    No, they do not teach shop in school any more. Damn shame, too. The ratio of morons to intelligent people is increasing daily.
