It was done in 2018 and the cost was about $11K total. 'Was only going to do part originally, but the company cut me a big break when I agreed to do the whole thing. They will get my business here...

Good point...Milwaukee M12 is a small but powerful platform. I'm actually looking at a wire stapler in that series to use in my new shop building because of my hand issues and how it can make things...

I really like that idea, Glenn. I'm starting to at least think a little (very little) about how I want to handle my hand-tools (pardon the expression) in the new shop. Historically, I've kept most...

Clearly from the photo, it's the tow vehicle. He's using the block of wood as an indicator that he's at "that spot".

I have not changed my cut depth on the FS-350 since the day I bought it. That works for me, but maybe not for others. It really comes down to what one does. Most of my use for the jointer is for...

I'm very pleased with the SuperMax 19-38 I picked up "barely used" a couple of years ago. I got lucky with that purchase as this is the kind of tool that I also would prefer to buy new because they...

I agree with Prashun...same process as the clears with maybe a little more viscosity as can be expected with any product that has a bunch of pigments in it. You just need to zero in your gun. I use...

All of my tow vehicles have had backup cameras since 2005, and that makes hooking up a trailer a "one shot" thing almost every time unless there is extremely unfavorable sun glare. Since you seem to...

Looks like that trailer is from the era when Thule was also involved with Brenderup (EURO) horse trailers. Same floor design and yes, it was a plywood product. It's hard to source material in the US...

Concrete for driveways isn't a popular choice around here for whatever reason. Asphalt paving and various types of gravel are what you see; the latter is more prevalent outside of town. More and more...

A cordless pinner is an interesting thing, but given how I use my pin nailer, often in tight spaces, the "heftier" size of a cordless unit might make it less usable. It really comes down to what you...

Larry, you make a good point about the cost of blast gates and it's certainly reasonable to expect them to be relatively leak free. But the nature of blast gates and how they operate does make it...

This is an important point if one changes the table setting frequently, particularly in a production environment. But I wonder if it's as big of a concern for "most folks"...many of us set the...

Shot the primer today in my "expansive" finishing booth, AKA, the side driveway extension. :) I found that my good gun was having an issue with the onboard regulator for the PPS system, so I pulled...

If they are typical tee-head brad nails, they should be no issue. Do keep in mind that some guns have guide slot indents for the heads to ride on when you load them and some lengths may need you to...

No question I'd peel them. But I wouldn't use them for fence posts unless they are of a very limited number of species, such as black locust, that is naturally rot and insect resistant.

You're going to enjoy that, John. I did the same at the old property in 2018....400' of driveway and parking area. It was a game-changer in multiple ways, but one that was particularly great is that...

The 2" pins can be used for trim work when glue is involved and as some have mentioned, multiple fasteners in varying directions provide more than enough holding power and they are essentially...

There's a whole bunch of things going on here with the joinery...gives good food for thought

Glad your son is home and I hope the transition to "what comes next" will go well for him! As for the learning around the new job, it's to be expected and can actually make it more rewarding.

This...

Tiny little thing.... :D :D :D (Congrats!)

Nothing like a "simple" last operation for the end of a major project. LOL :D

I agree with making the stairway look like it belongs in a timber frame structure, either by using wood in the way I...

You just need to make a custom sled that can attach to your wagon so that the workpiece is held steady and vertical through the steep angled cut. Be sure that the offcut is also supported with some...

Those doors are going to look SO good when your project is completed. Really transformational!

So I can officially say that I've scraped together enough of the scrap to create the whole Scrap Vanity and no more scrap scraping is required. It's built. I may or may not add some kind of shadow...
