Steel stick on tape

Steel stick on tape

287 days ago by guitchess | 6 comments »

After realizing that I had stretched my vinyl tape when assembling my tablesaw, I started searching for a replacement. I knew that I wanted a steel tape so as to avoid the issue of stretch. The only version that I found online was $17 so I postponed buying so I could search for a cheaper alternative. I was killing time in the tool department at Walmart and stumbled on this one. the Komelon 12’ x 1/2” Flat Tape Ruler. As soon as I saw that it was steel I was interested and whe...

Not what they said it was!

Not what they said it was!

86 days ago by grosa | 25 comments »

This drill Does not perform the way they said it would. I give them 5 stars on the weight, it is very light, half the weight of a Dewalt drill. The first three weeks the battery would last 4 or 5 hours. Keep in mind I am working this drill 8 hours or more a day. A month later the battery life dropped dramatically. I am changing batteries 5 or 6 times a day. The torque is half of the Dewalt drill, even though the Dewalt is heaver and cost more I think it is worth the money. I was lucky eno...

Too easy NOT to use

Too easy NOT to use

136 days ago by Marcus | 6 comments »

I’m assuming like a lot of other LJ’ers out there, I tend not to use feather boards because they always seem like a hassle to get placed. When I am going to make a cut that would really benefit or I see a safety issue with, I would use them, but generally speaking, they sat dormant. I have seen these magnetic feather boards for a couple years and thought they were a bit of a gimmick, so disregarded them. Over the years though, good reviews keep piling up so with the 20% coupon ...

Mr. Heater Big Maxx 45,000 btu gas heater

Mr. Heater Big Maxx 45,000 btu gas heater

94 days ago by Nicky | 13 comments »

A heater is an integral part of my shop. If the temperature falls below 50 degs I can’t work comfortably. Yes, I’m a wussy boy. During the Christmas break my Peerless heater stopped working. Seems that it developed an electrical problem. The fan had been on its way out. Estimate for repairs about $300. It was 30 plus years old so I thought it was time for a new heater. After a bit of research and reading through some reviews I ordered the Big Maxx 45,000bu heater. I paid $399 plu...

Special Finishing Techniques DVD

Special Finishing Techniques DVD

1277 days ago by mtkate | 7 comments »

Do you like quirky? (I DO!!!) Do you like unpretentious honesty? (I DO!!!) Do you like to get interesting and rock-solid insights into how an expert does his finishing? (I DO!!!) I got this DVD for a recent birthday. I put Charles Neil DVDs on my wishlist and actually got one. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and learned a LOT. For example, I never really knew much about grain filling techniques… and now I am looking at remnants of red oak wanting to give it a shot. When m...

Excellent Bang for the Buck

Excellent Bang for the Buck

719 days ago by knotscott | 6 comments »

The AR118 is a compact portable electric power washer. It’s not in the same league as a $1500 commercial grade gas powered washer, but it’s plenty capable for average residential use, and is an excellent bang for the buck. It’s small, lightweight, inexpensive, and very portable. It does an excellent job on vinyl siding, patio furniture, concrete, paint and stain removal from decks, and is great at prerinsing major dirt off the car, though you’ll still need to wash wit...

Cool little tape to have laying around

Cool little tape to have laying around

435 days ago by Wayne | 1 comment »

If you’ve done much framing, you know that tape measures are like pens, they will eventually go home with someone else. I saw a lady with one of these a while back, and finally had to pick one up. -The lock button is in a comfortable position- the hook doesn’t have too much play in it- tape is sturdy doesn’t twist as easily as others Ive had- and it has the quick read fractions and decimals (1/8” graduations). Pretty handy to have laying around. I got mine for ju...

Variety, Tips, Inspiration

Variety, Tips, Inspiration

1924 days ago by MsDebbieP | 2 comments »

(photo from www.canadianwoodworking.com) I always look forward to receiving my next issue of the Canadian Woodworking magazine. Each issue is filled with: several projects to complete, lots of tips skill building variety of furniture building, carving, and other woodworking techniques I think that that is my best part, that they mix the types of woodworking and do not just focus on furniture building. They also, in my opinion, cater to the skilled woodworker as well as the...

Great Tool and Even Better Customer Service From Home Depot

Great Tool and Even Better Customer Service From Home Depot

164 days ago by NormG | 10 comments »

Wife purchased an additional smoke detector and Carbon Monoxide Detector today, which required me to get out the drill. I received this as a gift last year after my prior drill of 10 years died. I really do not need much more than this as I really do not have a need. So it meets my needs. It is comfortable to hold and use, the battery life is very good, as is the ability to perform as a drill and driver and general uses as a flap sander, wire wheel distress-er etc . I use it in the sho...
