You might want to look into a Dispos-a-Blade system if you get the Dewalt. I installed it on my 12" jointer and it leaves a glass smooth finish. The replaceable knives are easy to change and last a...
This is really getting old. First, when I accessed the site, I either had to log in manually or just click "Forum" and I was in. Now, all of a sudden, I log in, I get the welcome window greeting,...
If it were me, I would use stainless steel. There would be no concerns about corrosion if it gets wet. Aluminum as a wear strip will work fine until a piece of grit comes in contact with it and...
Well I might disagree that "this place is mostly old men" but there are plenty of forum contributors that sure behave that way. Would a picture have sufficed instead of a video? Maybe, but nobody...
You might want to pick up a can of Kroil. It's probably the best penetrating lube I have ever used. Keep in mind that while it has some lubricating properties, WD 40 is primarily a water...
I know that General Finishes water based products are popular on this Forum. I have used a wide array of their products over the years and their solvent based products such as Arm R Seal and Outdoor...
When I log on, my name shows but the password is missing. When I click on the password box + log in, I get an "Invalid Redirect" window. I contacted Forum Tech Support and they said it must be my...
Why not cut and fit a piece of tubing with an i.d. just large enough to accomodate the screw. Paint it white. That way you can easily remove and service the camera and cover the screw without...
This can be a real problem. I know a lot on this forum have the time and inclination to dive right into a complicated piece of equipment and try to fix it. I have serviced and tended to my own...
A good quality glue like Titebond II and 18 gauge brad nails at least 1 5/8 inch if using a nail gun or 1 3/4 inch finish nails if nailing by hand should do the trick.. The gun nails have a vinyl...
How many plumber, electricians, and HVAC techs make $200,000 - $300,000 a year? Since we are talking about "a" plumber, electrician, or HVAC tech, can we assume this is net income to which you are...
Well, I tried all that and the problem persists. Using a desktop, Windows 12 (same problem with Windows 10), Google Chrome. It works fine if I go straight to Classifieds first.
Same problem here. Also logging in issues, unless I go to the Marketplace first. Go figure.
In regards to foam brushes, they vary in quality. The big box stores carry brushes with a more open foam and they do not work as well as the ones I get from commercial supply houses. These brushes...
I believe it was James Krenov who would run his rails full length and in the case of a pair of doors, the rails came out of one length so that the grain ran continuously from one door to the next.
Go for the KV 8405 or the Accuride equivalent. Same slide but with 1 inch over travel.
Why not set up a drilling jig and drill 1/4 inch holes at the ends of each piece. Drill countersinks on the top and bottom pieces to accomodate a nut and washer. Use threaded rod to assemble the...
First off, I am a huge fan of wipe on finishes, especially on walnut, and have been using them for years. I have pieces I built back in the nineties that have never been refinished and still look...
I am not sure where you are located, but I get it from a local supplier in Reseda. CA. I believe they have national distribution. They usually have a booth at AWFS. Just Google "Centurion Wood...
I've been using Clear Acrylic Topcoat from Centurion Wood Coatings for years on light woods as well as red and white oak. It won't amber. It sprays like conventional lacquer, dries like...
If you are using the 1/4" pins (also called spoons) with a flat ground on one side where the shelf is suppose to sit, try rotating the pins on opposite corners 180 degrees so that the shelf rests on...
I would clean up the flat surfaces and use it as a floating shelf featuring the natural edge.
Anyone have any experience using an ultra violet light for locating glue residue? It seems they are either several hundred dollars from a test equipment company or $12-13 from Amazon.
I would think you could find a descent Delta 14" bandsaw in that price range. Assuming the tires and bearings are in good shape, that particular model has a number of after market accessories...
