    Perhaps something like this could be incorporated. At one time I considered doing a whole driveway, but plans changed...as they inevitably do!

    FWIW, I cut my teeth with Pony pipe clamps in cabinet shops, and have a fair gob of them now. Maybe 15 years ago, bought a few old style Bessey K Bodies. Struggled with their clumsiness at first,...

    I've worked in many old homes with similar. Some had matching casework in really open grain Lauan. To minimize hang up of stain pigment in grain, I think Jim is on the right track with dye, but I...

    I'd go with a catalyzed finish...fast to cure and wear resistant. I've shot lots of ML Campbell Krystal conversion varnish and it's really tough, although I've never tried a test like you're...

    Predrill pilot for toe screws. Deck screws not drywall screws. Assuming receptor and walls are constructed correctly, there should never be any moisture at the fastener level which would mitigate...

    Ding, Ding, Ding!

    I'm thinking that won't work so well, which may explain why there's heavy dust on the cyclone itself. I'm not even sure what would happen, seems like it would just act...

    What's Wrong In This Photo?

    Killing time surfing eBay today I ran across this. Something jumps out at me in the 5th photo. I'm purposely not pointing it out, but will if it need be. Consider it a puzzle! Maybe I'm nuts...

    Fraction Calculator Plus by DigitAlchemy is handy sometimes.

    Carpenter by iHandy is kinda fun and really handsome, but I almost never use it. Has plumb bob, level, protractor.

    Bradley, I suspect you'll like it. I use mine frequently.

    I'm a cheapskate a lot of the time and I sure don't agree with the "too expensive" line of thinking. The "knob" I recognized as the same...

    FWIW, I wanted to do it all to the 'nth level too. By the end of install and still today I realize if the system design is good, some details aren't worth sweating.

    I've machined UHMW lot of ways but don't think I ever planed a piece. It tends to be "stringy-er" than HDPE which I have succesfully planed with a Byrd head and milled flat on conventional blade...

    The fence changed because ownership of Delta changed, if I'm not mistaken. They have their weaknesses but so do all. BTW, they're adjustable. Had the same fence since 1980 and I run about .015 wider...

    I think there's two different ones depending on vintage of fence.

    Google shows some resources and images. Google "Unifence Plastic Cursor" I tried to link but no joy, not sure why. I found both.

    Although I've installed lots of LEDs, never done what you're suggesting. The one thing I would keep in mind is that LEDs are intense little pinpoints of light and IMO best employed either indirect or...

    Seems to me the prep of the wall prior to "enamel" would be the bigger question. Acrylic (latex) paint relies on mechanical grip for adhesion, there is no "burn-in" like with solvent based finishes....

    You may get some insight by Googling hypertufa. Most recipes use vermiculite as I recall. You could skip the peat, I suppose. When we made a couple pots this way, I got anxious and broke mine taking...

    Kerf-in is good for sides and top. To me the weak link in the door seal chain is at threshold and where it meets side seals. Standard fare around here is adjustable "oak" threshold.
