    Need a straight edge

    While working in the shop building the counters and new work bench, I come to realize that my two piece aluminum straight edge I use for cutting my sheet goods has developed a curve in one of the 4' pieces. I have had this thing for many years and did not pay but maybe $20 for it when I bought...

    I am now ready to build the new shop bench. The bench will be a 3'X6' and approx 35" tall on locking wheels.

    I went to HF about a week or two ago and picked up an oscillating multi tool for $24.99 and got it home and plugged it in and saw it came on so I threw it in the cabinet for when I needed it. Well, yesterday working in the shop trying to get it all back together I had a need to use the tool and...

I converted an old oak dresser a neighbor left behind when she moved and I added here and there and made a decent workbench that has served me for more then 10 or so years. I...

I need 24 wheels for 6 boxes that I will make. Boxes will hold anything from drills, boxes of screw and nails, odds and ends that would be loose...

    Got a new respirator

    My old respirator finally showed it's age and effectiveness and I had to get a replacement. Checking around a little to see what others are using, I came across a video of the Wood Whisperer and Mark was doing a review on the 3M brand 7500 half mask. I decided to get this model because I used to...

    Best Glue and Wood Filler

    I have been using Titebond Glue for some years now and have been wondering if there is anything better to use. I have tried the Elmer's Carpenter glue but did not think there was much difference in that and Titebond. I also am having a problem with my Plastic Wood wood filler. It seems that I...

    New on/off switch for my Jet Contractor saw

    I ordered a new paddle switch from Powertec for my Jet Contractor saw and it finally arrived today via USPS. The switch description said "will fit in a standard box". Nothing wrong with the Jet switch, but I wanted to add the paddle to it for easy and safe shut off. Took out the Jet switch and...

    Modified shop apron

    I asked the wife to sew a couple lower pockets on my denim shop apron, and she got it done this morning with an old blown out pair of Wrangler jeans of mine.

    Dq

    I was talking with the rep from Jet during the Extravaganza on Saturday and he mentioned that if I was going to buy a scroll saw any time other then during the Extravaganza, it would not matter if I was DQ because it did not count on machines, only woodworking materials. Is this correct?

    New Freud blade on table saw

    I bought a new 10" Freud Industrial LU84R011 50T with a 10 degree hook blade for my table saw about a month or so ago and every time I try using it I find burn marks on both sides of the cut. Type of wood does not matter. Soft or hard it still burns. Even plywood burns. I first thought maybe I...
