Heard this referenced on one of those home improvement shows. Never heard of it and can't find much online. Anyone ever use it?

As I recall, the dowelmax did not come with a bit. The user supplies it. All my errors have been subtle misalignments on my part, usually due to sawdust buildup on my safety glasses :)

That's exactly the situation. The photos are top loading which means the bottom row needs to have clearance. Right at the moment I'm thinking of using top MDO secured to the wall and having the...

Tasked with making a exterior photo display panel. Using 3/8 MDO, the photos are held in place by battens with a slight rabbet and a piece of plexiglass in front for weather protection. That much...

They will run forever. So long as the beds are flat, co-planar and not pitted and the knives are adjusted properly, it will do an admirable job.

I'm considering the possibility of a metal building for RV and misc storage. Something like 25 wide by 40 long. At this point it's just idle thinking on my part and wondering if the cost is...

Bolt Depot. We use hundreds of #4 screws in repairing old windows. Haven't broke one yet.

My son went to the language school there in the late 90's. When we visited him we took a drive around the base. The enormous tank sheds, the hundreds of barracks buildings, the deserted onbase...

We have all seen the horrific videos on the news of the various fires in the West. Most recently the one that ripped through a sequoia grove killing thousands. Are any of these dead trees being...

Thanks for all the excellent suggestions. I've got enuf scrap that I'll try out a few and see how they match up with the look I'm after.

In the process of making a small end table/bookcase out of black walnut. Picked this up in Maryland a couple of years ago. It had been air drying for several years at that point and it's been...

Could you elaborate?

Check out these flexible sponges from Klingspor. I've used them for years.

Some 40 years ago I had a Sears brush cutter. Straight shaft with what amounted to a 9 or 10 inch saw blade on the end. I could cut anything up to about 3 1/2 to 4 inches quite nicely. Like all...

Amazon has the only one I found that has the required 5/8 shank. Everywhere else I looked all had 3/4 shanks.

DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the...

Well Brian, I thought it was sharp enough. Either it wasn't or as Jim Becker suggested, metal fatigue set in. And we were so close to making out of 2020 unscathed!

I have a 20 year old manual mortising machine. You know, the one operated by Armstrong with the side lever! Working with some QSWO and making a 1/4 inch mortise. Cleared a pilot hole and then...

Looking for slightly longer router bits to mate with butterfly templates from Rockler. Amazon shows a few at about $20. each. "End mills" in the same size are significantly less expensive, but...

For the umteenth year I see absolutely nothing worth even considering at their infamous Prime Day sale. You?

Thanks for all the hints and suggestions. Yes, I meant to say slides. Making a slide out drawer for the RV for under the kitchen counter.

I consider myself to be a reasonably smart person. Handy too. Usually able to puzzle out things intuitively in the absence of clear directions.

For those of you who have not yet bought Blum...

1/2 inch breaker bar
1/2 inch torque wrench
pancake compressor
cutoff grinder
sawzall
heat gun
rolling toolbox (incredible bargain when they're on sale)

probably a few more. They're cheap...

For some reason, the photos won't show.

After a while you also develop a feel for resistance. Sharp blade, wood slides right through. As the blade dulls, you have to push more. With experience, you'll feel the difference.
