A few years ago I was anti cabinet, pro just a shelf underneath to throw things in an "easy to find" disarray. Now I'm both. I actually built my 3 drawer cabinet when I was temporarily in very large...

I'm with you, I'm also a Makita tool person, my dad's been using them over 30 years, so I started using them, I have a lot of them and have had no interest in changing tool sides.
I have the XNB02Z,...

I'm on the shed weight side, I've moved my 14" bandsaw a few times, easiest was to disassemble. Remove the blade, the blade guide and rail (mainly to prevent damage), the table, then separating the...

My Father's out there in Newcastle, he stocks upwards of 500 board feet of most species (cherry, poplar, ash, pine) and when he can, orders walnut, oak, purpleheart(some stuff is hard to get right...

I typically attach backs with either GRK trim head screws or cut nails, depending how I'm feeling and if I'm going for anything more traditional. I also like to nail into the shelves, I'm not sure on...

I think this was in response to my reply? But yes, they're about the same. I have the Crucible lump hammer, essentially a very nice 2lb sledge. I use it a lot for seating joinery as well, its mass is...

Are you leaving it after traversing across the grain to flatten it? or after planing with the grain? I think if you leave it after only cross grain planing you'll be a bit splintery/rough for under a...

Are you looking for a new manufacturer or something of the old? I found a few good Stanley ones at random antique shops in the bins of "random tools" near the wood planes that are sold at decoration...

What kind of chisel work are you doing? Chopping out dovetails and mortises? I find that's pretty loud regardless, but I live in a duplex so out of curtesy to them, and my tinnitus, I found what...

If you're only ending up with around 27 degrees, that may be why its seeming to take so long. Lie Nielsen blades come factory ground at 25 degree bevel (real sharp when you get them) and the back of...

Joel, just a thought that may or may not help you with your decision. when mortising out for the hinges, I would mortise the depth for both leaves out of the door panel, and none from the cabinet....
