    Any recommendations for a garage smoke detector that alarms remotely? Our garage is semi detached from the house via a carport. It shares an upper floor wall with the house that is a fire rated wall. I tried smoke detectors years ago and ran into constant nuisance alarms from dust. Is there...

    Nooitgedagt Coffin Smoother

    This is in good condition. It is 8" long with a 50MM wide iron that is 0.105" thick with a chip breaker. I want $50 and that includes shipping anywhere in US via a flat rate box.

    Router Suggestions

    Any recommendations for a smaller router to replace two 70s vintage Craftsman routers I have. The shaft lock is broken on both and I have to remove the motor top cover to change bits. These are mounted upside down to boards that I use as router tables and mostly never removed. I don't need a lot...

    Wood ID

    Does this look familiar to anyone? I was thinking it is walnut that is very hard. Very. But am now wondering if it might be something else. I have rosewood boards that are similarly hard but much lighter in color. The board has been in a stack of walnut for maybe 40 years and never used because...

    Table Saw Throat Plate

    Has anyone ever seen a plate with a vacuum attachment? My DC ducts directly outside and pulls the heat with it. I have connected a shop vac to the saw and it works well but for the dust on the top of the saw directly behind the blade. To be honest, the DC leaves that stuff there as well, just...

    Fan Direction Question

    I have a large exhaust fan in the shop that has stopped starting. It hums but does not rotate. I can spin the blade in either direction and it will start and continue running in that direction. It has a capacitor located in the housing. Could the capacitor be the problem? I know this is in the...

    Any recommendations for covering insulated walls in a small shop? I see 1/2" plywood sheathing is available for about $22. I want to paint it white before installation. I think I am not interested in drywall due to durability. Has anyone ever used fire resistant construction paper, such as on a...

    Replacement Planer Motor

    Any suggestions for a replacement motor for a Parks 12" planer? The current motor is 1-1/2 HP and very large compared to modern motors. It dates to the late 40s with the planer. I'm mostly looking for opinions on HP and RPM.
