I lived for 12 years in Europe and Asia, and ended up shipping home to the USA a good Makita router and a Bosch sander and jigsaw. These tools were made to work on 220V/50Hz.

Are these worthless...

Hi, Chuck,

What did you find with the upholstery vinyl? Can it be cut with a laser?

The specific product to not be cut is sheet PVC, and upholstery vinyl, as you point out, has very little...

Thank you, Peter, and others, for your suggestions. Maple is harder to find in this area, but alder and poplar are more readily available. I suppose these are OK for paint grade doors.

Thank you, all, for your replies. John, I will look for some poplar or maple, as you suggest.

I have some 4' x 10' Red Oak Plywood (from an auction sale), furniture grade. Would it be foolish to use plywood for the main part of a dining room table, and then use solid oak such as 5/4 flat,...

Thanks, Bill, your detailed information is very helpful!

Maybe the pipe is galvanized, and not black pipe: it is painted, and I probably wrongly assumed that it was black pipe (like a natural gas...

Yes, there is a wall-mounted regulator w water filter adjacent to the compressor. I'm disappointed in the installation by "professionals," who used clear plastic tubing to connect to the black pipe,...

Thanks, Jim, that's a great tip!

At this point, I just want to turn down the main regulator at the compressor, and (ignorant question) don't know how to do that. There is a brass ring on the left...

I run the MakerSpace in my school. A Hitachi Bebicon 3 HP air compressor is installed in the adjacent mechanical room with piping to the MakerSpace for air tools, spray booth, and the air assist on...

I found this in the manual; I didn't expect to need cleaning so soon, as the laser was serviced before we purchased it. Could this be this problem:
