I would recommend perusing CL and FB market place for where ever you are traveling if you are hoping to score a deal. Lots of people around here sell burls in small qualities.
Luckily I have a large attic space where I can store Systainers and every other tool specific case I have collected over the years... I would actually hate to have to throw them out.
The only tool...
I would consider making the handles removable. Large Charcuterie boards with big handles are difficult to store.
Yep, nobody seems to have any use for old MF or LF camera tripods any more. I picked up a tank of a Manfrotto studio tripod off of FB marketplace for $20. It is by far the sturdiest table saw feed...
Do you think they are genuine SKF bearings? I always figure that bearings available for significantly lower than retail price on ebay are fakes / knock offs.
Most of the cost of replacing...
I would start with a good clean out of the cabinet. Make sure there aren't any clumps of saw dust stuck in the pulleys or else where. After that I would remove the spindle and see if the vibration...
I haven't used Waterlox in a couple of decades. Instead I mix my own: 1/3 varnish, 1/3 Boiled linseed oil or tung oil and 1/3 turpentine with a drop of Japan dryer. The first coat I mix thin for...
That JessEm hold down looks WAY over priced for applying a vertical hold down force. In my experience a horizontal force to hold the stock against the fence is much more important / useful. The...
OP should have no problem finding big EGO's around here... but the biggest EGO they can afford, hmmm???? ;)
I have had a few different shop vacs and am down to only a couple of them now. My old 18 gal Craftsman is more upright so it takes less floor space and it is easier to change the bag on. My new...
I was shocked at how much dust my dust collector connected to my sliding table saw was able to capture... it doesn't get everything though! Even with an overhead blade guard connected to the dust...
What is the floor made out of?
1/2" galvanized pipe 4" long epoxied into a cement floor with turned brass cap for when the stand is not in use should hold a whole lot of candle stand. A rotary...
Your title says corded and your text says cordless. I am assuming you are talking about cordless.
What do you plan on using it for? A day at the construction site, chores around the house, hobby...

The chisel for a mortise machine is square. The square portion of the chisel has to be held still while the round cutter in the center turns. You would have to have a special collar custom...
I always do my own brakes. A brake job is one of the most overly inflated service price wise for what you get. If you can change a tire you have done 50% of a brake job.
I am not familiar with any 22cal rifles that break down either (Other than a Ruger 10/22 takedown rifle which doesn't jive with the vintage of the OP). On a 12, 20 or 410 gauge shotgun breaking down...
I have often wondered how useful stroke sanders are. I don't think a stroke sander, wide belt sander or wide drum sander is in my future.
My adaptation is to use my horizontal boring machine for...
Thank you. I have a fence set up on my Davis Wells where I can index my pieces quickly and it works. It isn't as fast as drilling both holes at once.
I picked up my Davis Wells for really...
I have never owned a Festool anything. The ones I have used seem WAY over priced for what you get. They seem more like prestige tools than actually superior tools.
For a home shop the Makita...
I have a cast iron Davis Wells horizontal boring machine that I rebuilt. It gets some use. A two head (2 drill bit head) would be faster and more useful. Most joints I use dowels for I usually use...
I agree. My 16" saws (2 radial arm saws [both 7.5hp] and 2 table saws [One 7.5hp and one 5hp]) come no where near pulling full current and start/run easily on my RPC.
When I think of a heavy...
Part of my routine is removing my glasses and blasting them with the blow gun connected to my air compressor.
Darned annoying isn't it!
My daughter started college last fall. Ever since I have been getting a huge number of Top Ramen noodle commercials on youtube. Coincidence????
It was late, I was tired, the Philips screw driver (hand tool) slipped and went right into the joint at the base my fore finger on my other hand. Right to the bone! Instant buzzing nerve pain which...
