I wash my truck quire often, so I want it easy and quick. Here is my process, soup to nuts I can wash the outside of the car in about 20 min. I might hand wax it once a year, but the detailer has enough polymers in it that its probably not necessary. Once you find products you like, they are...

Haven't posted in forever, but here is my stool I made, posted about it in my garage many moons ago.... Quick Project: Keg stool Quick project. I have been meaning to build a shop stool out of an old empty keg I have been dragging around for years, and finally got it done. The first challenge...

I echo, the 40th diablo is my every day blade, and what I use for sheet good and most projects. If you clean the teeth every once in a while the last a long time. I find quite often the blade is not dull but just coverd in pitch, especially if I am cutting a lot of pine. A couple minutes of...

Mine does the same thing, its not an issue because when you are using it for chop cuts you are pushing down and back on the handle naturally, and saw always finshes all the way back. You can check out bench and precision cutting stop block and dust collection I made here. I also modified...

I have had several setups, first was all portable tools with no permanent work space, to current where major tools stay setup and never move. For me with limited time, the biggest deterrent in the past to doing a project was moving everything and setting up etc. Now if I have any free time I...

I have a 113. Saw I got for free about 10 years ago. It was in decent shape, previous owner had added magnetic switch with keyed lock, the stop button can be hit easily with a well placed knee, as well as a dust chute. I cleaned rust off cast iron using wd-40 and my random orbit sander. I keep...

Quick Project: Keg stool Quick project. I have been meaning to build a shop stool out of an old empty keg I have been dragging around for years, and finally got it done. The first challenge was finding foam that was dense enough, most shop stool i sit on and the foam bottoms out. I went to...

U can add mine: Subterranean Two Car Garage

I have had my 1590 for 10 years now, and its best tool I have owned, in My kitchen reno which I still need to write up some day, I cut the sink hole for an under mounted sink in 1.5 inch Maple butcher block, used fresh bosch blade and it came out nearly flawless. Try cutting an oval in 1.5"...

I agree with Crab, depending on what you really want to do in garage I would dedicate half the garage to the "shop" half to park one car. For me if I need to pull out cars and setup shop every time I want to work on something that is a big deterrent to actually working in garage. I did the...

Great job on router extension. Being able to use table saw fence for router table is huge advantage. It comes in especially handy when making cabinets or bookshelves where u want to dado the back and sides of cabinet for shelves, set the fence once and run all your pieces. Way better then...

I ran MWBC using 12/3, I have 2 pole 20amp GFCI, the breaker was pricey at $90 for my panel, but i ran a total of 19 4 square boxes in the garage with 38 outlets total, so i saved money being able to use common outlets. Each box has an outlet from each circuit, one outlet white one outlet...

The back rail is not meant to clamp. Its only function is to give fence something to glide on, and to allow for extension table support. The whole purpose of a T-square style fence is it only clamps at the front, avoiding binding or alignment issue you find with fences that clamp both front...

Does yours not have set screws going through the angle that increase or decrease the stand off amount of the ends of the inner rail? Also doe yours have glides on the end of the inner rail? The set screws allow you to increase the tension on the handle, as well as fine tune the squareness of...

I put the older version, the Delta T2 on my late 70's craftsman table saw. I took some tweaking and drilling of the rails to get it aligned to my saw properly, but once I dialed it in it is dead balls accurate and I haven't adjusted it once since. Maybe quality has changed on the fence.... I...
