    If I were adapting a non-track saw to a track, this is the method I would use. It meets 80% of the track saw functionality at a very reasonable entry cost.

    I'm a big fan of the bed bolts. With a good mortise and tenon, they'll lock solid, and if there is ever any movement of the wood, shrinking primarily, they'll let you tighten the legs back up. I've...

    Bill, are you talking about a second round of clamping in the same or a similar direction, or in a different direction? I wouldn't hesitate to keep working after 30 minutes if the clamps would close...

    A hairdryer won't be fast, but any amount of thermal movement should help break the two apart. A heat gun would be better, but I would try the hairdryer if I didn't have a heat gun.

    Years ago I bought an a118c off Amazon. Its selling point was a capacitor instead of a battery to hold enough charge when the car turned off. Well after a few years of service, we had a really bad...

    I'll second the harbor freight dust collector (the upright one with a separate filter and debris bag). That's what I have in my shop and it's not perfect, but it's a heck of a value. There is a lot...
