    OEM Quality

    We all hear how things aren't made like they used to be. In 1986/87, I bought a new Troy-Bilt 7HP, Horse Tiller. It has done everything I and several others have asked of it. Including the original set of tines, it has had five sets of tines. Each of these have been resurfaced / built up with...

    Quality Saw For A Small Shop

    Chain saw blade quality

    There are obvious differences in quality when talking about table saw or miter saw blades, so I assume the same holds true for chain saws ... but I don't know anything about them! What do I look for in a "good quality" chainsaw blade?:icon_scra

    Walnut quality

    I recently purchased 100bf of walnut over the internet from a major wood supplier. The quality of the wood is nowhere close to 70% as Select wood should be.

    Fine Woodworking Magazine quality question.

    I am a long time subscriber to this magazine. I have really enjoyed the Tools & Shops edition that started about 5 years ago. I re-read them more times than any other issues.

    Quality Plywood or Lack thereof??

    So, I went hunting for 3/4x4x8 sheets of oak, cherry, maple or even birch plywood, yesterday and today. The last few times I did this it was getting tougher and tougher to find any kind of consistent quality, but not impossible. Well, things sure hit rock bottom this time. I went through 4...

    Quality Plywood Around Charlotte?

    I know we've covered this before ... but I don't remember the answer and couldn't find the thread. And now we have many more members ... so maybe I'll learn something new. Where can I buy good quality (baltic birch or similar) plywood in the Charlotte area at a reasonable price?
