I delivered my wife's mom (83) out to the new house in Santa Fe last week and I have to say I'm very excited...not least for the new workshop!
Sold via craigslist
So I'm preparing to move my shop across the country and am selling my trusty sawstop. I'm planning on buying an as-yet-undetermined sliding table saw. Should I keep my 8" dado blade set or will I...
Different people like different ways of sharpening. It's not all absolutely right or wrong. Be honest about your experience with it and let them come to their own conclusions
I know it's not exactly the original question, but I do feel like the anarchist's workbench (free PDF if you don't want to buy it) does a great job walking through the various vise options and their...
Leg vise on the front right (I'm left handed) and an end vise on the opposite end.
Mostly making furniture, but a good amount of box/cabinetry/joinery. I am very happy with my vises (if not my...

Thanks for the great info. Santa Fe is at over 7k feet, so it has more of a winter than much of the desert (and less insanely hot summers). Most of the houses use splits, so doing the same in the...
The house already has a substantial and efficient solar set up, so electricity is pretty much a non-issue (no gas at all on the other hand, which has its own issues re: water heaters and cooking).

My wife and I are moving from the SF Bay Area to 10 acres on the outskirts of Santa Fe, NM. Part of the move is that I get to build a new workshop in place of the decrepit stables on the property. ...
I was guessing that Craigslist would be the eventually answer. I posted on here, but without really any expectation.
Thanks for the tip on the bill checker. My wife may have further use for it, so...
I'm selling my tablesaw in preparation for an out of state move. Other than posting in the classifieds here, are there other good resources for selling big ticket tools? If location specific, I'm in...
Sawstop ICS - 36" 3HP (single phase) purchases new in March, 2021. Light hobbyist use only.
Includes:
Floating overarm dust collection
Industrial Saw Mobile Base
Woodpecker Rip-Flip...
If you're willing, I'd love live 2 as well. Happy to PayPal the shipping cost. Will message you
I went with the removable magsafe and it works great. That said ... I've never found the need to remove it.
Agreed. For a one (or few) off product, easy enough to do by hand. The instructions explain exactly the dimensions needed. This is what I did for the cabinet I built.
Lovely! Is there a slight curve to the legs?
I find a ton depends on the wood I'm working with and the scale. Anything highly figured and wide, I end up sanding. I'm sure someone better than I could manage them, but I inevitably have tear out. ...
I used that hardware on a king-sized bed hardwood bed and they're holding up. That said, screwing in to end grain is suboptimal. I had to use really really long screws. If I was doing it again,...
It gave me less of a reaction than sapele does. But it is most definitely...sturdy.
There's a bit of tear-out in the top drawer face. It was only noticeable when I moved the piece up into the...
I finally finished up the test run cabinet I had been working on - it's a test since the pattern will eventually be used for a couple of bedside cabinets. This one will live in our guest room and...
Warren, I had a gut feeling that aiming for flush with solid wood is likely a bit of a fools errand. How much do you usually inset? To be clear, my wife wants flush...I think she'd be ok with a...
I'm working on a cabinet with flush inset drawer fronts (drawers on blum silent glide undermounts which are lovely) and it has mostly gone well (lots of little to midsized mistakes to learn from!). ...
Sure, Tom. It was the result of a typical beginner's mistake. I had a chunk of zebrawood left from a project, so I laminated two layers of it only to realize that it was a bit short. I then looked...
