    Sawdust Stove

    Obviously things have warmed up. But I’m looking towards next winter. I have seen several YouTube/blog woodworkers with sawdust stoves (both I believe are working abroad) but I like the idea of being able to upcycle some of my sawdust for heating purposes in my garage. I can’t however find...

    Upgraded my table saw...Man what a difference!

    I came across a good deal for a hybrid saw, and couldn't pass it up. I put my DW 745 up for sale on Craigslist and got $175 for it in a matter of hours. The ridgid R4512 was $306 after taxes and was delivered assembled to my house from Burlington in the rain and across my muddy lawn into the...

    Upgrade - who does what and when.

    At the start of friday I will be the only person allowed on the site. This becuase the first step deleting all the exisiting files, etc. and then installing the primary software in the proper order must be done by one person in order to keep everything consistent and keep from stepping on each...

    I have not had much shop time recently, and that is fairly typical for me in the winter, as I enjoy working in the shop more in the warmer months. I did do some shopping recently to get ready for those spring projects and picked up this: View image in gallery Makita Sliding Compund Miter...

    Upgrade for Craftsman table saw handwheels

    Hi, My son just acquired an older Craftsman table saw, one with plastic handwheels. One of the handwheels was missing, and everybody hates the plastic ones anyway. So I did some poking around. I looked at places like Reid Supply, who have lots of them, but they are made for machine tools...

    Bandsaw motor upgrade question?

    My bandsaw has a 3/4hp motor at 1725 rpm and I want to upgrade to a 2hp. My question is do I have to get a 2hp at 1725 rpm's or can I get a less expensive 2hp at 3450 rpm's and then use a different size pulley to get the 1725 rpm output. If so, what's the pro's and con's of the less expensive...

    Lathe Upgrade

    Thanks to a fellow NCWood Worker I was able to upgrade my lathe to a variable speed and reversible motor. Also went from 1/3 HP to 1.5 HP. The motor is so strong I can't hold it at the lowest setting. This is a huge step up for us. And i will feel better about Collin turning bowls with the...

    Upgrade for Router Table

    I noted in a separate post how my Craftsman router had cinched up its height adjust. After fiddling with it over the weeks, I conclude it was toast. The Sears router table has served me well for my light duty use, but it is over 10 yrs old. So what are your thoughts on an better router...
