    It has been a while since I have needed their customer service, but it was top notch when I did. I can't say whether it has recently gotten worse.

    Looks like a nice setup. Maybe I will treat myself to something nicer at some point. My current setup is a very of Labtec subwoofer and the two speakers that came with it conneceted to my shop PC. ...

    I still haven't made the plunge and built anything shelfwise. Still debating between a few ideas.

    I will say that I appreciate all the suggestions. As far as offering the scraps for use to...

    Current space is air conditioned, but heated only if it get really cold (this is Florida and it doesn't get cold in the shop), but the door to the inside of the house is open much of the time. So...

    Something hit me about the shelving layout! I think I see a way for a major improvememt/upgrade. The corner where a lot of the access is blocked and the space gets poorly utilized. Anything on the...

    Great thoughts. I have been through some iterations of most of that, but maybe not enough. In particular I have some things that are used less frequently that maybe could be out of the way in some...

    Yeah maybe I can use some existing shelving that way for some stuff. A lot of my primary materials when cut to their actual size are the size most consider cutoffs. In my building process i...

    Yep, you get it. A 2' piece could be major components of a travel sized instrument. A highly figured little piece 5" long might be an accent piece that makes a real difference in an instrument's...

    Part of the problem is that these pieces aren't the typical boards and off cuts. The slabs are heavy. Some hard to even lift or move. That makes overhead storage iffy at best.

    BTW... My work is...
  10. Wood Storage Question, awkward pieces in small shop

    My shop is in disarray due to lack of proper wood storage. I have been accumulating lots of odd sized pieces that just don't fit the vertical racks that I had been using. I am mostly building...

    I know this is an old thread, but it reminded me that I had something potentially useful to share that was related to the topic. The regulator on my CAT 10020C is built into a $40 manifold so when...

    I am curious why 1/2" wide? I can't imagine wanting/needing that on the 9" Ryobi. I am guessing this must be some very special use case. Otherwise it just sounds like a bad idea.

    BTW, it isn't...

    I have never noticed the actual frame flexing on my delta with riser block (the bolts on the block are tight). What I do find is that the top guides are somewhat poorly supported laterally when they...

    I bought a used delta that came with a riser block. I have always used it with the riser block. I have sometimes considered removing it, but have not for two reasons. First I have always had a...

    I'd feel safer running them through a thickness sander especially with clamps and whatnot

    I'd definitely skip the dowels and use a round over bit on the router table to round over some rectangular pieces. If you don't have a router table I have done a lot of similar round over work with...

    I have 3 ROS sanders that always have 3 different grits installed. I work with small parts so I often sand for just a very short while with each grit before switching, so having three makes a lot of...

    I don't have any, but suspect I'd use them a lot if I did. Holding smaller parts on the drill press and using them as stops on fences sound like good reasons to have some. Clamping smallish items...

    The weight seems about right for Paulownia. It looks a little like a piece I have here in my shop, but not a perfect match so I am can't say for sure. Have a look at the Wood Database...

    My list is crazy long and VERY different than yours and so are a lot of other folks. It will depend on how you work and what you build. I agree that buying for the projects you are doing as they...

    I found that a lot of the available tires are too thin and too narrow for optimum fit on my 14" delta. That includes the orange ones I tried. Some of the rubber ones were a little better, but not...

    I hadn't looked into the prices of maker spaces. I really can't see myself shelling out that kind of $$$. I got started on about what a year's membership apparently is for a maker space. With...

    I always thought most of the maker space places were mostly not following the for profit model.

    Our local one here in Tallahassee is called Making Awesome. I haven't checked them out in person or...

    There are lots of factors that come into play one of the biggest is wood species, but things like grit, adhesive and backing type, sanding pressure, and technique all come into play. I have found...

    Yeah, I made a 12" disk for my lathe and love it. I have a "real" dedicated 12" disk sander, but like the one on the lathe much better for many tasks. It has a plywood disk with velcro attached...
