Thanks. the window really helps when you forget about how fast it can fill up with a planer.

I might actually use the same barrel technique and make some cedar garbage cans for the bathroom or...

Hi Everyone, I have been a viewer for a long time and thought I would contribute back with some of my builds.

I upgraded my dust collection in the last couple years from a direct shop vac...

If you are like me, you are not spending $2000 on a saw, but want something a hell of a lot better than contractor mobile saw with a garbage fence....

I got myself the delta 36-725 , it is...

Thought I would add one more picture of all the cabinet/shelves completed and finished. Each box can be re-arranged as needed and I can use up all the wall space in and around the gas line and other...

I have #8 in there now, will remove those and replace with #10 stainless for sure, at least one per joist.

Looks good to me. funny is that I just got a delta 36-725 the other day. still in the process of setup, I was looking for a saw exactly like the one you got used, but there was nothing even close....

I am not worried about doing any repairs, but am treating this type of work as practice for better stuff down the road.

as for strength, each wall cleat is hung with 3.5 " deck screws into the...

ok, here is the new glue up. Made some 90's with some scrap plywood and dry clamped it all and checked with precision square and back light. The only light coming between the edge was the...

I guess the consensus is one cleat per box. I was worried about supporting the weight, I am making 35 inch wide ones too. I did manage to align the cleats on the wall with a jig setup to near...

ok, so I am soooo noob that I have not even done a dovetail joint yet. I have always enjoyed building and doing stuff, but more of a "don't measure", "slap it together" with the cheapest wood I can...

Hey Jim, Yes, I really like LeeValley and there is one here only 15 minutes from my house. If I want a quality tool, I usually go there.

I browse the local classifieds too and look for stuff...

Hi everyone,

I am another newbie here. first post, did not really see an intro section.
