I lost the Woodcraft store in Ventura (Calif.) which was only a 30-40 minute drive for me, really sorry to see it go. It had gone downhill for several years and then a new owner picked it up and...

I had an old Hitachi combo for decades and it worked great. One of the great features was the jointer was off to the side and you could joint and plane without touching settings. When it was time...

I can't recommend it since I don't have yet, but I purchased Auto-Cut on Kickstarter

anyone closer to Santa Barbara ? I drive down to Mayan Hardwoods in Oxnard and Anderson for my plywood, makes for a long drive. To finish a Xmas present, I had to buy Oak at HomeDepot, I needed such...

Also didnt know these existed and purchased one last night. I can get rid of my fence against the fence now. This should be the way Festool ships the saw. I make my own zero clearance stuff for...

I have always thought you should finish both sides of wood, I just hung 2 sheets of 1/2" ply on my drywalled shop and put up French cleats, I didnt know how to finish them so I did not but I want to....

I planned on ordering those, I waited too long, and the website said no longer available. Amazon had them for more money, they arrive tomorrow. I should not have snoozed, but I did and waited too...

Just to close off this thread, the lifting bars and my engine hoist worked great. Lifted it onto the trailer, and then once home got it on the ground onto the mobile base. The thing looks brand new...

I figure I added less than half of my build cost to the house value, but that is something for my daughter to worry about when I am dead. FOR ME (might be different for you) I didn't care if it...

Woodsmith is not what it once was, I have every issue from #1 to today, I have been a subscriber since the beginning and built many projects from that magazine in the old days...been many years since...

Well the lifting handles and engine hoist will do the job nicely...Mark who mentioned the sloping driveway, I was worried about that also, I am one of the ones who had things go sideways on sloped...

May I ask where this bolt is ? I am picking up 882HH in a few days.

Well you guys made me look...Ok, this model HAS lifting rods according to the manual and its 610lbs, the shipping weight was over 700lbs, so the seller must have looked at that. The lifting rods...

I did not know they had handles, I will ask the seller if it has them, that would also solve my other issue on stabilizing it for the drive home. And to the other poster, I agree if I separate the...

I am going to pick up a used Powermatic 8" jointer and not sure how. I have a car trailer, so I will take that with me as the truck bed would be too far off the ground, I was thinking of taking my...

Notre Dame is 859 years old, she was 857 when the fire happened. We have a hard time building anything that lasts 100 years in this day and age. I would never trust a glulam to last that long. She...

made myself a small systainer cart...tried to buy the Sys-AZ drawers but none to be found locally, so I made a template of the bottom of the systainers and routed out the dimples to hold them in...

I went with drywall because I wanted it to look good. My old shop had plywood and that was much easier to hang things and move things around. I find myself thinking for days if I want to drill a...

Its only a little bit that you have work with, I would make up a slab flattening jig and hit it with that. I know you said the boards are already at finished dimension but I would make a new finish...

So to close this thread off...I had a mini split installed !

I was going to go window unit and cut a hole in my garage wall for it, so not in the door as I planned above, but the unit I wanted was...

I like to write a journal and I have a leather journal that I have used for almost 2 decades. I was able to get refills for it for years and would refill it 3-4 times a year. The manufacturer...

well, going to try sound proofing this weekend. I had thought of enclosing the unit but had not thought that the exhaust air from the filter would help cool everything down, I was only thinking of...

I have a 5HP Oneida Dust Gorilla that I purchased used, it is much more dust collection than I ever wanted or needed, but for $1,000 total, I could not pass it up. And it came with some pipping and...

I bought a Chicago Pneumatic press at a garage sale for $20 back in the early 1980's, worked fine all these years but run out was measured in inches, not thousands and it drilled beautiful oblong...

I run tank pressure in my shop, so 175 in the lines, regulated down at every drop, so I have a lot of regulators :) probably would have been better to have one regulator at the compressor and nothing...
