I have been working with plywood of several varieties the last several days and I got some dust blown into my eyes and they are hurting. I am wondering what is in that dust?

I think one sheet of...

By the way, is you wife from Vietnam?

I heard that some of those Viet Cong women have a habit of setting booby traps and dishing out poison by habit. She really doesn't mean any harm, it is just...

Neither,

I work with mostly warped, bent and crooked lumber and tree branches.

no no no.

I changed the sanding belt to a finer grit but it was slightly smaller than the one that came with the sander although both are 6" x 48" belts.:confused:

Anyway, I am going to order...

I just brought back a 6" x 48" sander from Grizzly and set it up yesterday. It worked better than expected. However, after I took off the belt that came with the machine and tried to put a new belt...

I didn't have the log quarter sawn. I had a different log quarter sawn and made the mistake of trying to split it into quarters. As it turned out the log had a lot of twist in it, so I lost a lot of...

I picked up a 42" diameter red oak with my 3/4" truck after ripping it up with a 98cc Husky chain saw into cants. If you are going to quarter saw it you will probably have to cut it through the...

I have several 12v DeWalts which are okay. However, I bought one of those nifty Ryobi cordless saws that I found tremendously useful for doing trimming of twigs for rustic work. In the kit was a 14v...

Triox is good but only if you are lucky to get a fresh jug of it. If it sits around on the store shelf or if it is from last's year's unsold stock, it won't kill anything. So you are gambling with...

Hi Bill,

I'll be there with a basket of tomatoes provided I can find a place to stash all the lumber that I got piled in the greenhouse over winter and get the potting soil back in with some...

Yesterday while rumaging around in the mess under my drill press I heard some sqeeking that sounded a lot like cursing and suddenly I felt something pulling at my hair. It turned out to be a very...

Put them in a pond or an old rain barrel and weight them down under. They won't check nor get infested with bugs or mould. Then rough turn them green and boil the turning to prevent checking.

Thanks guys,

I am looking for something that I expect to use quite often, but not pumping a lot of paint at any one time. But I want it to be able to shoot straight latex at a relatively high...

I have been looking to purchase an airless paint sprayer. I have been looking at the Magnum XR7 by Graco at H.D. for medium duty spraying of undiluted latex paint. Is there any problems with this...

Actually, you don't need to do a thing! I like old rusty tools especially pitted ones. I never have to worry that someone will steal them because thieves have better tastes than to steal some rusty...

I misplaced the knife setting jig for my planer. So when it got dull, I got out the wet stone and worried away at it for a while. Spent more than an hour just honing away with some paint thinner to...

Just got back from the Mid-Atlantic woodworking show. Mostly industrial stuff. Met some WoodCentral folks and learned a lot of things. Rain today, supposed to clear up tomorrow.

Saturday, I got...

There is one on woodweb.com

Because we like to dive dangerously in North America.

I use a dado blade in an under-powerd radial arm saw, which is fairly safe because as soon as the blade grabs, it stalls. So there is no...

I think it depends upon how religious a person is about his woodworking that sets fine woodworking apart from other stuff.

Unlike fine furniture, at least, with rustic furniture, they cannot...

Before applying glue, I put the two boards one on top of the other on edge and sight down them to see if they are sitting square. Sometimes I clamp the bottom one in the vise and use a square to...

I hear thet they are good for racing, that is until you reach the end of the cord. I use my belt sanders a lot and would not buy a drum sander because I specialize in working with warped and knotty...

Why don't you have a back up wood stove for heat in the green house?

I have a simple solution: I put screw hooks in the rafters and screw eyes in the ends of the boards and hang them up. I put posts under the rafters to prevent the shop from coming down on my head. I...
