    How do I keep epoxy colors to bleed?

    I've heard different thoughts on static electricity in a dust collection system. Some say don't bother, some say its a must. Your thoughts?

  3. Brett Asquith

    How do you address humidity in the shop. It affects both wood and tool? Do you use AC your shop? If so, how do you filter the dust?

  4. Randy

    How do you get rid of scrap w/o paying three arms and a leg?

  5. Patricia Reed

    Do they make a tiny jig saw?

  6. BRUCE

    GEORGE, WE ARE COUNTRY NEIGHBORS........I AM 100 MILES NORTH IN SUPERIOR WI. DO YOU HAVE ANY LOCAL SAWMILLS WHERE I CAN OBTAIN ROUGH SAWN HARDWOODS?

  7. BRUCE

    GEORGE, YOU HAVE TO BE THE SAFEST WOODWORKER EVER. BUT I HAVE A QUESTION. IN AN EARLER GEORGE LIVE, I SAW YOU SHOWING THE PROCEDURE FOR FOR MAKING LAP JOINTS.....IN THE DEMONSTRATION, YOU USED BOTH THE MITRE GAGUE AND THE RIP FENCE. I WAS TOLD SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE IT WAS DANGEROUS TO USE BOTH . AM I THE VICTOM OF AN "WOODWORKERS OLD WIVES TALE"?

  8. Bob

    Do you have a Dado Set recommendation or a favorite Dado set? I've noticed a router table cabinet in your shop that I think was with a Woodpeckers router table. Is there a plan on WWG for the cabinet?

  9. JERRY

    What is the best wood for side and end bench vises?

  10. John

    Is there a decent pinless wood moisture meter for $100 or less?
