What's up Creeker's? Long time no see.
I am working on the finishing touches on my DIY CNC machine. However, I am having some bugs in the software that I cannot figure out. As you can see in the...
I am working on a project right now that would involve drilling a 3/4" hole in the bottom of a glass mason jar. I tried using a regular drill bit but the jar just broke. How do you drill a hole in a...
I am shopping for a laptop to run my CNC machine. I have narrowed it down to two certified refurbished Dell Latitudes. They both have 8gb of RAM, Windows 10 Pro, a 14 in screen, and all the other...
I want to try turning a ring. Has anybody done this? What would should I use?
So I went to Lowes today. I wanted to get some jigsaw blades and a few other things. They were completely reorganizing the tool section to make room for all the new craftsman tools. My jigsaw uses...
I like to listen to music while I'm working in the shop but my hp computer speaker that I had been using quit working. What do you all use for listening to music while your working?
I am working on setting up the software for my diy CNC machine. I am using Mach3 but I can't figure out how to configure the screw pitch. I have two different types of screws. On the Y and Z axis I...
On Monday of Last week an automotive startup called Rivian released two new vehicles. At the LA auto show they released the R1T and the R1S. The R1T is a crew cab short bed electric pickup with some...
My shop is somewhat long and narrow, as I have said before on here. It is about a 15x40 foot single car garage. I have been wanting to heat my shop as it is getting cold here in pa. The building is...
It was 28 degrees this morning here in Central PA and yesterday we didn't get above 35. Just want to scare you all a bit:D
This guy has some great tips on making pinewood derby cars as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RjJtO51ykY
I made him an offer for 700 but he rejected it. I don't really have money to make a large purchase like this right now, as a certain cnc machine is sucking up all of my spare cash.
There is a G1018 8" jointer on craigslist near me for $800. Looks like there is no rust and was very well maintained. It also includes a mobile base. I have only worked with dimensioned softwoods up...
Went camping this weekend at prince Gallitzin state park. Canoed and kayaked all over the three square mile lake and did a bunch of fishing. I finally finished a new desk that I have been working on...
Do any of the members on here have a custom woodworking business? As in people come to you with an idea, you draw up a design and give them a quote for it, and you build it for them? Is this a viable...
My 3x6 machine that I am currently building will probably cost about $2k till its all said and done, but I used wood for most of the construction. It probably wouldn't be that hard to build a 4x8 cnc...
There is a 16 inch south bend metal lathe on the local Facebook marketplace. It is slightly rusty. What would be a reasonable price to refurbish it?
I am in the process of building a 3x6 foot cnc router. I am trying to decide what type of computer I want to use with it. I will probably get a dell, but I still don't know whether I want a desktop...
I know this isn't woodworking related but I thought this was the best place to ask. So I was cutting a piece of metal with my angle grinder last night. The cutoff wheel was binding a little bit, then...
You can build a shed quite easily if you are at all handy with tools(assuming from the fact that you are on this forum that you are). It will not be quite as cheap as one from Lowes but it will quite...
I do a lot of bbq. I smoke something at least once a week. Smoking is going to give you much better results than grilling alone, however, it will also take more planning ahead. I have a Masterbuilt...
That's pretty cool, Walter but isn't that more of a metalworking machine instead of a woodworking machine?
The main reason I am interested in the G7946 is the ability to drill angled holes without actually tilting the workpiece. This is quite important, as the workpieces I will be working with are 4...
Well I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "resonate with you", but yesterday the lady inside may radio sang "sometimes you just have to play the fool" at the exact moment that I realized that I had...
