That bench would look great in my workshop. Count me in!

Count me in please!

Second the Sam's Club Kit

Hi John,

Welcome from Londonderry. You are going to have a great shop

Edwood

I got the Ridgid Spindle/Belt sander on my list from my dear wife along with a Magnetic angle cube from Rockler. Oldest daughter gave me a HD gift card.

Not bad

I am impressed, please count me in.

I often just use a few glue dots instead of tape. Fast and easy to apply and holds just fine. I can usually just scrape them off with my finger nails after I take the boards apart

A frequency analyzer preferably a FFT type would be a good choice. There are software tools available. But the real problem is the sensor or microphone. Most microphones will ether not work at all at...

I second John. I made a point on really sharping my new Marples chisels and had much better luck on my second dovetail attempt in some scrap maple this past weekend. I used a cheap Marples 15 tpi...

I also don't think a golf ball would be a good...

I just finished our oak country table with General EF High Performance Poly using a paint pad. I put down 5 coats and it looks fabulous. I think it will hold up well.

I just finished building the lumber rack described in this book preview. Very simple 2x4 construction that I bolted to the ceiling joists in my basement shop. Very inexpensive and seems to work just...

I love this topic in a nerdy way.

Thought I would chime in from the point of a Semiconductor Engineer who often has to deal with static charge damage and prevention.

It turns out actually a...

Hot dipped galvanized nails should hold up fairly well but plated nails will not.

Bill,

Valid concerns so I made up an air flow probe with a piece of string tied to a dowel to probe the air flow with the DC running. As I would have expected the high velocty air flow seems to...

Jerome,

Actually yes it does pull down dust from the top of anything that settles about 1" or so from the opening. Like I mentioned before I route a lot of long sliding dovetails so most of my...

I found this link a while back when I was planning my workshop as I too read all the worries of using PVC ducts. I am an electrical engineer so I understand electricity. This article put all my...

Phil,

I don't believe I saw this before but it would be nice to give proper credit if you ever find the post. As far as mounting assuming you would want to upgrade the bungee cord mount system,...

Feel free :)

I did some research on how to enclose my router to improve dust collection. My router is mounted in a Rockler / JessEm FX which btw works great. I have been using a Rockler "Down Under Dust Port"...

1. Make your cup a componet
2. Draw two construction lines intersecting the center of your table.
3. Select your cup componet.
4. Select the Rotate Tool
5. Click on the center intersect of your...

I just recieved my riving knife from lee for my new Ridgid R4511. I got it in a week and it looks very well made. I got lucky as he had a couple in his shop and all he had to do is powder coat them....

I have been toying with the idea of some version of this http://christophermerrill.net/ww/plans/UTS/Tool_Stand_1.html

But even though it would be a great space saver and multi use I don't relish...

Oh man I looked at that saw compared to the Ridgid R4511 and came this ->||<- close to buying the 35920. But with Home Depot's big tool sale I was able to buy the R4511 for $450. The differences...

Your tail cut as indicated on our drawing is 3/8" just as you planed. The pin cut is 7/16" so likely your bit rode up after the tail cut. You might notice the depth changing on that grove if you...
