Delta Fence Installation - 3 replies Just a little advice being saught here: I just purchased a Delta Fence for my Craftsman TS. After getting everything out of the box, I’ve noticed the holes for the bolts don’t line up. So, I’m obviously going to have to do some major modifications. Should I drill new holes through the edge of the TS top?- or -Should I d... |

The Great Table Saw Debate Continues... - 34 replies I, like many, have arrived at the moment in my journey where the collapsible, portable table saw that I bought to start will no longer meet my needs. (Not to mention that screws have started randomly falling out of the bottom.) So, within a couple of months I will be making what will possibly be my most expensive tool purchase so far. I hav... |

Brazing Bandsaw Blades - 7 replies So, as you may have read, I am the proud new owner of a Taiwan knock-off of a 1980s Delta 14” bandsaw (it was free). After some refurbishment and a discussion about tapping screw wholes, I came to the point at which to put a new blade on the sucker and start her up. Well, shucks. The blade is longer than 80” and shorter (by almo... |

Screw Loose - 7 replies I’m working on getting this bandsaw a budy gave me working and I came accross an interesting snag. The screws on it are all metric (of course). But the funny thing is, the ones that I don’t have enough of are M6 with 1.25 threads. As far as I can tell, this aren’t really made much any more. That is, I can’t find them ... |

Need Some Identification Help - 6 replies After doing a couple of odd jobs around my buddies house, I was just “paid” in tools yesterday. (Honestly, I love it when I get tools like this!) My buddy feels he got the better deal because he got two rather space grabbing tools out of his storage and pushed them off on me. First off, I got a mid ‘80s (I’m guess) C... |

Pizza Peal - 9 replies I bought one of those pizza stones a long time ago and it came with a descent pizza peal (you know, the giant pizza sized spatula you use to get the pizza off of the stone). Well, the peal is getting harder and harder to work the dough off of. So, I’m planning on sanding it down and cleaning it up. Then I’ll put some mineral oil on... |

Router Bushings - 1 reply Recently, I’ve been trying to get more out of my router and I getting to the point where I need some guidance on what bushings to use. I’ve purchased a few of the Milescraft bases and jigs over the last year or so and they have all come with various sizes of bushings that lock into them. The only problem is that they are plastic. ... |

FYI: Visa Card Warning - 15 replies I happen to work for a financial institution and I have heard it through the grape vine that there is a new policy coming for all Visa Check Card holders (what is hooked to a checking/savings account).

Shop Vac Stattic - 6 replies Here is one to consider… I’m in the early planning stages of building a new base for my contractor saw. I’ve been looking around a lot and found several designs I like. Mostly, I’m looking for inspiration. My wants are a dust drawer below for shavings, a router table attached that can use the same fence, and complet... |

Cardboard as Materials - 4 replies My wife is a fan of Treehugger.com. So, to keep up with some of her dizzing mental process I occasionally make my way onto the blog style news posts that are actually somewhat informative and entertaining. Well, I keep seeing where there are designers and artists using cardboard to make usable pieces of furniture that are surprisingly durable ... |

How good are your eyes? - 4 replies A buddy sent me this to make fun of my glasses. But I figured it is applicable here. http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/index.html Feel free to do it more than once. I miss-read the instructions on one and score a 50 for that task (lower is better). So far, my best is 5.49. I’m horrible without a square. ~DB |

Mobile Bases - 12 replies In the midst of re-arranging my shop, I’ve realized that I’m killing myself trying to move large tools around. So, I’m wanting to buy/build roller bases for the larger items. I had read something somewhere that mentioned using a three will base on a shop floor that isn’t 100% level helps to keep tools from rocking dange... |

Panel Saw - 6 replies Every time I go to Lowes or HD or any other lumber yard I find myself standing and drooling at the panel saw. It is just a beautiful thing to look at. This weekend, I had the fun time of cutting some panels down from the 48×96 to 36×40 pieces in a tiny one car garage (too cold and snowy/windy out to be cutting outside) on a couple ... |

Sealing up the Basement Shop - 14 replies I’ve put it off long enough. I couldn’t sleep last night while it rained and I kept thinking that the water table was rising and something in my basement shop was going to get wet. Just the moisture content alone was scaring me awake every hour. I must have walked downstairs a dozen times to double check that everything was out of... |
