    Bees wax

    I use beeswax on the soles of my planes while using them. I have had no problems with it affecting the finish. I suspect it is all gone by the time I cut the last shavings. I don't try to apply a uniform coating, I just squiggle it on before and during use. I don't see how it could possibly...

    Cruiser Skateboard Deck

    It's much easier to weld something like that if you clamp all the parts in the correct locations before you weld.

    Laser engravers

    I have a 40 watt Epilog Legend. It engraves up to about 1/8" deep and cuts up to about 1/8" plywood and 1/4" pine. I haven't used it for six months or so, due to health issues, but when I did, I made some really nice signs by engraving the background and cutting out letters to glue in the...

    Penn State Cyclones

    I have the 1425 and haven't had any problems with it. I mounted it on the wall by myself and it is VERY heavy. I had to put an eyebolt in the ceiling to winch it up to the mount. I also had to drill additional holes between the two housing assemblies to get the intake and exhaust rotated to...

    Ridgid Spindle Sander EB4424

    I have two of them, one in Florida and one in North Carolina. I use them mostly with the belt attachment. I haven't seen any other sander in this price range that does what this sander will do. Dust collection is reasonably good for a belt sander. I have two minor issues with it. It...
