    Log ID help

    Anyone know that this is? The grain is tight and stringy, but it's not very dense or heavy. Just a bit heavier than poplar. Sorry, no foliage. This was a blow-down log that's been down a couple of years. TIA

    Which grease for gears and trunnions?

    I am tearing down my 18" Jet bandsaw to move it, and it seems like a good time to clean and lube. The trunnions aren't that dirty, but the table has always been a bit "noisy" to tilt and when I removed it I was surprised by how little lube there was. The more I search the more confusing it...

    Advice sought: Precautions with no shop HVAC

    We're finally moved into the mobile home (for the most part) and the house is under contract. We're currently culling and moving the shop into a shed with no HVAC. I am not comfortable leaving a space heater running when I am not out there. I insulated the walls, mostly for noise reduction, and...

    Band saw tire exploded

    Well, maybe exploded is a bit of hyperbole, but it did fly apart while I was using the saw, and some of the pieces hit my left hand. It stung, but it was only a minor injury. No contact with the blade. It was the lower tire on a 12 year-old 18" Jet, and the tires were original. The weird thing...

    How do you avoid "sticky" painting shelves?

    When you're painting shelves how do you get a finish that stuff doesn't stick to? I rebuilt the shelf in our closet ten years ago and we still have to "peel" loose anything that sits on it for any length of time. I grabbed a spare bedspread we keep in the vinyl zipper package it came in and you...

    Tip: Pegboard standoff spacers on the cheap.

    Mounting spacers for pegboard are expensive, just for little hunks of plastic. I just checked Amazon and saw $9.99 for a dozen and $17.99 for 24 sets with washers and screws. You could do the furring strips as standoffs thing, but that renders a lot of the holes in the pegboard useless. I...

    Seeing KILZ on white ceiling - any tips?

    As part of our mobile home renovation we are repainting. My son was helping and hit some discolored spots on the ceiling with KILZ, and now I cannot see them clearly to go back over the treated spots with the paint. I don't want to repaint the whole ceiling, just the spots. The KILZ is a...

    Heavy duty rubber flooring in the shop?

    Here at work we have a workout room with some mondo tough "rubber" flooring. The flooring has been in place over concrete for 6-7 years at this point, and has heavy Nautilus equipment and even some free weights, and the floor still looks great. No visible wear or damage that I can see. It's...

    HELP! We bought an air compressor...

    All my past experiences with compressors have been in shops where they had what they had so that's what we worked with, so essentially, I know nothing. We bought a Kobalt QUIET TECH 26-Gallon Portable Electric Vertical Air Compressor. It comes with 1/4" couplers, and I was going to switch them...
