I bought mine a few months ago and it's really nice. I also made a zero clearance fence. I won't toss my crosscut sleds as they also have benefits for larger (wider) cross cuts. I just wish the...

Derek,
Stunning work. Ironically clear rock maple is much easier to work with vs figured maple, even if it's soft maple. I got very lucky and all of these parts for a vanity went through my...
Well given your closer, I look forward what you think of the store. Given the weather is turning around also into Spring, it's might prompt me to go for a ride anyway. It is somewhat ironic that...
This is actually pretty true even about my basement shop. My family tells me the machines are not even that loud, even in the house, including the family room and kitchen area which is directly over...
That is very true.
When I first got into wood working, I did order some bits from MLCS, and when I found out there was a store, I wanted to go check it out. But from some pictures it looked on the small side and...
well hopefully others are spending more there than you and I did so it stays open.
I was really excited when Rockler opened in NJ. I figured I would get down there more often than my treks out to any of the 3 woodcraft stores. The 3 woodcraft stores are each 83, 83 and 85 miles...
Thanks all for the tips. I will hopefully get to this soon, maybe this weekend if I can get some shop time.
It was like $12 or something like that - and now delivery is Wed the 13th. I appreciate the offer though, and it might have triggered me to buy the lot next door :)
Yup - my property taxes are almost double yours, approaching 15K a year now, even though the median home price sale in Feb 2024 between Middlesex Country, NJ and Bucks County PA is very close (8%...
Well it's great to have the extra land next to you until it's bought and built on, and you don't need to even pay the taxes for it. I actually suspect the taxes where you are are about 1/2 what I...
Come on folks, this sounds like a facebook woodworking group, not the Sawmill Creek gang that actually help each other.
I did finally get the j-roller shipping notice - so I suspect it will not...
Yes of course - various warehouses. But given I ordered it 3 days back and HomeDepot shows it's not even shipped yet is what bugs me out.
Formica showed up today. The J-roller says it will arrive on Mon March 18th. Jeez. I ordered all from Home Depot and it shows it's not even shipped yet, after 3 days. Shrugs.
Good idea - except my wife might get a little annoyed at a much longer commute to her job :)
Wow nice grab on the free tools if they are in good shape. I've been thinking of a scroll saw for years when my kids both tested one out at a woodworking show, but I felt they would use it for a...
This is my first time doing laminate, and these and all the other tips are great. I do have a 1/8" v-notch tile trowel that should work perfect instead of a brush of foam brush. Great idea.
Both of my furnaces and water heater are in my shop, as is a sub-panel. I hold an HVACR license but take what you want from this: My old furnaces were 80% and consumed inside air for combustion,...
Ok - sell me your house so I can have your shop :) I suspect it's got a lot more room than my basement shop! :)
Just buy a new square! I have a craftsman combo square I got years ago when I had a giftcard to Sears. It wasn't very expensive and there are plenty of equal quality squares on the market in the...
Are you sure it even runs? Stored outside might have more issues than expected. How is the motor and other electrical. Is the base rusted if it was sitting on the ground? I sure wouldn't get rid...
Thanks for the extra tips. I ordered a J-roller and contact cement with the laminate. I hate not having the proper tools for the job.
That was my plan. Laminate all the way to the edge, including the solid wood boarder. I have 3 big planks of ASH that have dried. I will pull them out tomorrow and see if any are quartersawn to...
It is the same with Kansans City and Nashville, cancelled. It's a double edge sword really. If the people don't come out, vendors won't come out. They lose money to people just browsing as well....
