    Start of a cyclone build

    Last Saturday I picked up a load of scrap someone had left in the woods behind our house (car hood, old stove, other scrap iron). I had today off for President’s day so I hauled it out to C & C Metals in Marshfield and traded it for a 4 X 8 sheet of 22 gage steel. While I was there I also picked...

    Which Do You Do First: Sharpen or Start?

    When preparing to use the chainsaw for the first time in a while, which do you do first: start the saw or sharpen the chain? On which side of this great ideological divide do you fall? I am a "start it first" guy. After I have the cleaned/replaced the plug, file the bar oil and put some gas...

    Start of my new spray booth (Gloat)

    I picked this up Thursday night to build a spray booth. It's a lab fume hood and has a 1/2 hp explosion proof motor and sealed light. The blower moves 700 FPM of air. Figured it was a good deal at $ 80.00 View image in gallery . View image in gallery

    Start Up Help

    Pulled the trigger on my first lathe purchase on Black Friday. Unpacking instructions say clean all rust protected surfaces with kerosene or diesel oil. DO NOT USE: gas, paint thinner, mineral spirits, etc. What's the word on this? I have most anything else on hand except, kero or diesel. Do I...

    Replacing Start Capacitor

    Greetings, I'm finally getting around to cleaning up the HF lathe I got with the large tool purchase last Fall. I was told when I got it the start capacitor needed to be replaced. Which makes sense becuase when you flip the switch it just hums but if you give the wheel a good spin it starts...

    How did you start?

    I think this may be helpful to a lot of folks getting started in wood working or any craft for that matter. How did you get started in woodworking? Not just when or who taught you, but how did you really start? My very first experience was @ around 5 YO in my back yard in downtown...

    Experiment: Start to Finish

    This project included a lot of new stuff for me: :occasion1 This prototype is just plain old SYP, but cheap and interesting nonetheless. Glued up panels for both top and bottom circular pieces (learned a bit about cupping and warping of panels in that exercise). Through mortises...

    Gotta start somewhere - my first frame

    I'm pretty new to woodworking with something besides 2x4s. Decided to start small, so here it is: my first frame. Western red cedar, 5x7. Was supposed to be 8x10, but my ruler malfunctioned while cutting the sides - 8x9 just doesn't work. I need better lighting in the garage too - didn't notice...

    Where to start...

    So where does everyone find wood in the RDU area. The big box stores work for pine but what if you need a white oak board or red oak, or maple or tulip poplar? Do local sawmills have that kind of variety? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I don't have a stockpile air drying in a...

    Sold our old futon! About to start making dust!

    Huh? What the heck is this doing in workshops? Well, when my MIL passed away, we moved a lot of her stuff into the garage, leaving little room for me to do anything. It was hot and I had no AC anyway, so it wasn't that big of a deal and I figured it wouldn't be for very long. I finally got AC...
