Wow. What an incredible set of answers. I learned a lot and also got some really good, practical, advice. I'm eager to grind the chisel to 25 degrees, so I can make a nice 30 deg bevel in the back....

so I could find the angle -- but it seems like I should just grind it to the right angle and work with that.

All, I'm struggling to learn to sharpen my chisels.

I purchased GREBSTK 4PCS Professional Wood Chisel Tool Sets Sturdy Chrome Vanadium Steel Chisel, 1/4 inch,1/2 inch,3/4 inch,1 inch which are...

ok -- the pictures aren't showing up here, so I'm linking to a stackExchange post I wrote up as well.

I'm making pocket holes to connect wood together with a jig, the Kreg 720. The 720 works by moving at an angle (which I'm trying to measure) to ensure the hole is drilled higher on thicker pieces.

All, I realize the stone itself may be bad. Do folks recommend a good system (scarysharp?) or specific ceramic stones?

this is all incredible advice. I'm going to get the loop and also follow tracy's advice. I just hate the grinder because I think I'll mess that up. But it is a cheap plane and I need to learn.

Thanks, some great ideas here. I live close to NYC (Westfield, NJ), but now work in Fort Worth Texas so I'm back and forth a lot between the two locations. I would love to practice with someone on...

After watching several videos online, I purchased the Model SS2 sharpening sled from Alisam engineering. (http://www.alisam.com/alisam-sharpening.html) After working with this for a long time, I...

Thank you so much for your comments. I get it now. The single phase motor will need at least 12-amps of continuous current at 240V (hot 120V + hot 120V) plus a ground. Here in the US, we have 240V...

I recently purchased a MBAND18BX2203, Laguna Tools 18|Bx 3HP 220V 18" Bandsaw and need to wire a 220 Volt outlet. The spec sheet describes the saw as: "3HP, 220V, 1 Ph. 12 Amp."

I think I know...

Yes -- I got pretty good results with the 32 oz I worked with, plus I read a good bit about it here. I'll let you know how it goes.

This is super helpful. I'm going to try to heat it to 75 degrees and try a 1.8mm N/N. I just bought a 5 gallon from target so I hope to learn how to use this well. I'll share what I learn here....

All,

I am spraying emtech HSF5000 with my FujiSpray MM4. Yesterday, I was able to have good success with thinning to 40 seconds on my #4 ford cup and using a 1.5 tip, but I was hoping that I would...

I'm spraying advance now with a fuji MM 4 stage and it works really well. I am going to try the 1.8MM tip because the 1.5MM tip required me to water down to around 15% to get the viscosity down...

Great. Thanks

Bernie -- how much do you water down the advance and what tip do you use? What runout time do you hit on the #4 ford cup?

After taking some advice here, I found that I love the MM4.

I've learned some things and have a question.

First, I've made a spraybooth in the garage -- spraying outside was a mistake. It was...

I sanded it down and it looks great. I'm going to put on another coat so I learn how to get the flow right. Thanks for your feedback.

After my last spray gun failure, I purchased a LVLP gun to better match my 26 gallon air compressor. In general, I got a nice, atomized fan of paint. I messed up the prep a bit by having some dirt on...

So I'm debating between a new compressor -- maybe one that requires a significant rewire (60 gallon, 22 amp) or buying a turbine setup like a fuji spray.

What do folks think about the Fuji 2203G...

Do I really need a new compressor or can I learn and go slower with the one I have?

This is super helpful. I don't mind making an investment, but I want to be able to make a nice, smooth painted finish on a set of cabinets.

All,

I'm trying to figure out how to get a smooth, professional painted finish on my kitchen cabinets. I have HVLP guns (Husky Gravity Feed Composite HVLP Spray Gun and PORTER-CABLE PSH1 Gravity...
