I want to buy a drum sander. What would be a good choice for home use
I've been told that drill press doesn't work well as a mortising tool. Before I invest in a set of mortising bits, I would like to get your opinion on this matter.
I need to drill a 1 inch hole at a 30 degree angle. Should I use a brad point bit or a Forstner bit?
Looking to get basic/inexpensive plunge router. Any 'drop dead' features I should look for?
I am making a built in dresser in the wall. I have a 5 foot tall opening. how would you divide the area to figure out how many drawers to build so that it looks balanced?
I've tried using the worksharp and chisels seem to come out with a slight skew. Any tricks?
Is the higher price of saw blades like Amana etc. worth the the cost. Vs a cheaper blade like Diablo.
I am setting up a shop in my 24 x 24 garage. What is your recommendation for dust collection? I have a tablesaw , 6” jointer 13” planer, bandsaw and router table.
Hi George, thanks for what you do! I dig the guitars and Dylon photo in the background. When would you suggest to use a face mask/respirator? e.g. while using table saw, router, etc. Thanks!
One shop vac but multiple tools - disconnect and reconnect to each as I’m using them?
