Our usual HVAC sub was complaining about his usual supplier jacking up prices so much that he was looking for a new one. Seems case by case, Seeing it a lot in the carpentry supply vendors to,...
Yes there is some truth to it, but some of that is myth. I'm in dry part of NE, similar to your area. Once materials acclimatize, they become stable and all is well. Its that drydown period where...
I can't see any reason that the Kapex is worth twice the cost of the Makita unless you just really want to make your woodworking peers jealous and think it would do so. I've used both, do not...
Don't waste time trying to rationalize facebook. I think the whole thing is ran by a bot designed by an inept committee ___. Marketplace is a farce. I still get at least a message per week for a...
Trex is available at Home Depot and Lowe's. There are a bunch of similar products by different manufacturers. It's all ridiculously overpriced and lacks the strength of wood so be ready for some...
There is a little tab of plastic that can be broken off and it will work in all that I've tried. Switching to a adapted 20V will give you a little more power too in my experience. I'm sure you void...
I've used a hot wire cutter for foam ICF form block to inset electrical and plumbing. I'm sure you could get good with it, but my results always looked rather jagged and ugly. Any wiggle on the...
Acid brushes and ditto Micheal with the pencil sharpener.
Jason, did you buy it?
Contrary opinion, I'm not familiar with that machine so I don't specifically know how serious that break is, but if it's something fixable by you and you have the aptitude and desire, then it is the...
Very entertaining! I just tell people I'm a carpenter. Keeps the expectations low.
I've thought about TIG welding one, might try it one of these days. Anyone do that?
It's fun to read how he influenced you guys. Me too, I blame him for "lighting the fire" and getting me to a career that I actually enjoy. Back before interwebs, NYW and TOH were the only way that...
I cringed when reading "cutting GRK screws", that's like cutting dollar bills up! We are hard on sawzalls, have found the big Dewalt holds up better than the Milwaukee. The Milwaukee service is...
I highly recommend the experience :) Last week I was making a 16"x2.5"x10' ish slab into a 60" live edge countertop. It of course hadn't behaved while drying so it needed face jointed badly. ...
Buy it!!! I don't see a rip fence, see if it's around somewhere. Felder makes an ez lift power feeder mount now that I'd recommend instead of old school one that I have.
I have a CF 741, awesome machine. I bought new in 2012 ish, it cost a lot more than 10k. I've been watching for another 741 or a 731 to pop up around here, I'd gladly buy a second for 10k. Priced...
A few options as mentioned but they depend on how you want to finish the space and the local code. You mentioned inspection, what does your local code say about exposed insulation? No bueno here...
I bought my 26 years ago, and fully expected to have nothing but problems adapting it to various tools based on discussions here. In practical use though never had a problem. The little festool...
Yes, this.
I've wondered about using a DRO for the same thing. Question, do you have to recalibrate if you remove the fence from the saw?
The easiest way to deal with broken bolts is to weld a nut on them. The combination of heating the bolt and giving it a new wrenching surface works quite well. Of course only works if you have a...
You'll probably find that Austin sources materials for some of the local cabinet shops and that they probably have a prefered material for cases. Austin probably buys that particular sheet in larger...
Just to put some perspective on the engineering, a single hem fir 2x4's compressive strength is around 1000# psi. Around 5 1/4 sq inches of vertical cross section in a 2x4, so a single one can...
