How does the sound level of the Oliver when cutting wood compareto the DeWalt?
I have both. The 4 1/2 excels as a smoother; I use the 5 1/2 as a panel plane. I don't find them interchangeable and would give up the smoother for the panel plane.
The electronic stud finders don't work well with lath and plaster. I use these instead. Simple and cheap.

If you use wax make sure you use a wax that will dry--Johnson's will not. Ok to use BLO but your best bet is a coat of Renaissance Wax.
In one of his many articles Chris Schwarz recommended a #6 with a pretty severe radius.

I do quite a bit of carving and woodworking and offer the following comments. I'd recommend that you do a bit more carving before you build a carving bench. If you try to build a bench that does...
I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to build a woodworking bench out of plywood so perhaps you could explain your reasoning?

General Finishes does not recommend Arm R Seal on floors. It's durable but too slippery. They have a floor finish. Check out their website.
I have used a 6in. Jet long bed jointer with a helical head for many years. Sure, there are times I wish I had room for a wider bed but this is fine for most of my work in my garage workshop. I do...

There are many different methods for dovetailing. All require that you be able to see your work clearly, mark precisely where you want to cut, and be able to cut accurately. Derek uses blue tape to...
Yes and yes. I replaced a 3 hp hybrid with a 3hp Sawstop and have no regrets whatsoever. I also mounted the Benchdog cast router table in place of the extension table on the right.
optiviser and better task lighting works for me
To answer your question: if you buy the 2X Optivisor headband and wear it with your normal reading glasses the focal length will probably decrease too much for them to be useful. I found myself...
I'd sand very lightly after every two coats. When you feel you have a good base (down to 600/0000 steel wool) finish with General Finishes Satin Gel. You put it on much like the wipe on but you...
I don't think either the Amish or our ancestors stood back and threw handfuls of stuff at their precious furniture to distress them. I thought you wanted "old school"? In any case, if you want a...
This is also how I do it.
I made my son-in-law a similarly sized bench--poplar base with a hard maple top. I prefer the poplar top but I'm careful to only use it for woodworking(and not things like pounding on a paint can...
