Nothing against Forrest. They are great blades and a great company but check out ridge carbide also.
I have a Sawstop cabinet saw with the riving knife. Depending on the cut I'll use feather boards and we also installed Jessem hold downs that I mounted to the fence that are helpful. Safety aside...

Call a local lumber yard that contractors use. I can’t speak to availability. Lots of products have been hard to get and it seems to...
I bought the Rocker or Wood Craft patterns and then used them to make new templates out of baltic birch. The patterns I received were "good" but I wasn't confident I could use them multiple times...
I think the DW 735 is a great machine for what it is. I wouldn't want it as my primary anymore after having a floor model but it works well.
I have an scm 20”. It’s a simple well made beast. It has a lot of mass which you want with a large bandsaw. I’d pass on the powermatic. I’m a powermatic fan but not for a large bandsaw. Stick...
I've had bad luck with a couple different knock offs we've tried over the years. Is there a reason you need the 3ah?
I would likely pre-drill and use a #4 screw from behind. You could also drill through the door and the handle with a dowel rod, set with epoxy, and shave/sand off the dowel on the handle and the...
I use a general overhead guard w dust collection and it works well in tandem with the saws bottom port. The dust collection on the saw alone is pretty good.
Hello. I’m close to KC. In Lawrence.
Equip bid or purple wave may be auction options. Mayo is another I see a lot. I’ve bought from Equip bid and looked into selling. I didn’t think the...
I’d have to check the drawing I made but from memory roughly 36” long by 7-8” wide. Need 4-5 pieces. Using for drawer faces for a desk I’m making my wife.

I’m looking for an internet source for figured walnut. Would anyone have a source? Not looking for eBay or Etsy.
Thanks. Neil
I’m happy with mine. Glad I purchased. They slide off and out of the way when necessary.
I've had mixed success with buying used equipment sight unseen. Most of the equipment i bought has arrived in working order but you have to know what you are buying and be willing to put some time...
I'll go against the grain a bit and support West Systems. You can use an additive to increase strength, workability, or filling depending on what you use.

I’m very glad to here you are bringing back the nx60. I have the dx and it’s turned into my go to block plane. It just fits the hand perfectly.
I probably have at least a dozen block planes...
Thank you. I will look into them. Appreciate it
Hello,
I am looking for "high quality" clock face and mechanisms for a mantle clock, everything I find looks cheap and too small. Any chance someone has a good source for such things?
Thank...
I have a set and like them. I don’t use them for every rip but for most.
They store out of the way at least on my fence.
The jointer is the one tool I wish I had bought bigger last time. I have a Powermatic 8" Helical Head and it performs well for edge jointing. It does fine on flat surfacing as well up to it's 8"...
We have several similar clamps, mostly bought at Home Depot in that 20-25 range.
As stated above, they are light duty, but how often do you need a heavy duty clamp in the 6-12" range?
I...
Take a look at Dubuque clamp company aluminum bar clamps. I have several dozen of both Bessey parallel and the Dubuque clamps. For 9/10 glue ups I go with the Dubuque’s. They do flex under high...
We always use Simpson CBPC cast in place post bases for pergolas as well as for post at the bottom of the stairs on decks. I believe these offer the best up-lift resistance and are attractive.
