Thanks! I won't use a wire wheel on a drill but maybe a grinder... if I decide to buy another bench top grinder. Back in about 2009 or close to that, Home Depot sold these really sketchy cut-off wheels/disc's for grinders. They were so horrible that they got recalled or something because they...

Evenin y'all I'm back looking for info once again! As I'm slowly coming around to getting everything set up for the workshop, I'm starting to think about what types of PPE (personal protection equipment) that I want. It's mostly going to be wood projects but every now and then there will be...

As far as gasket removal.... It depends on the surface, but no matter how I get it off I go back over it with a spray cleaner. It might be overkill but I don't leave so much as a fingerprint on a gasket surface.

In the last couple shops I worked in we had these gray scuff pads that came in large rectangles and they were perforated down the middle to rip them in 1/2. In the bodyshop they were used to scuff during prep and to "change grits" I would stick a regular piece of sandpaper for the DA sander on...

When I start another collection of stuff I'm thinking about just building shelves with dividers and some kind of 1/4 high clear fronts, and for really small stuff like screws or other small hardware I was thinking building little inserts made of thin plywood or using 6 inch diameter piece of...

Yes the saw with the stand. It's just big enough to handle what I have going on and small enough to move around due to it will be used in an apartment setting... I may use it outside but that will be rare due to a really bad infestation of neighbors lol. After a frustrating few minutes at Home...

Thanks! Yes I've went through YouTube and read up on this and that about the saw and tuning. I'm getting the Dewalt 10" contractor saw that usually goes for around $650. I'm not one to blow that type of money unless it's for a really good reason, so I plan on keeping that saw for a few years to...

That's why I'm here. I'm not one to throw money at something until I figure out what I'm doing and why. I've put enough money and time ... mostly time into automotive projects over the years and being I can't do anything with that anymore and not working the 80+ hour weeks..... I'm about to lose...

I'm not sure what to pay for a good blade even if I decide to buy another later if I use the blade that comes with the saw first. Because what I was posting seemed to annoy certain people I have ignored them hoping they'll be a little happier not having to see what I post.

I see there's a few "my hiney is shinier then thou" types, and that's ok. Be proud of your tools and decisions. I myself don't need a huge saw for the stuff I want to do. I'm not one for fine furniture but I have built office/cottage (can't remember the real name of design) furniture. I'm more...

I've never owned one but 20+ years ago I used one almost dialy for about 2 years, and I don't remember much of it except that one time I scared myself straight learning a valuable lesson. I've used an old bosses when I was building speaker boxes and other smaller stuff over the years. I know I'm...

I didn't even see the woodworking section. I guess being half awake and my meds trying to get me functioning... I overlooked it, thanks! If it's possible so I don't double post... could a mod just move my post over to the woodworking section or do I just copy and paste my post over there? I...

I'm working up the nerve to start making some expensive purchases and a main one is the table saw I mentioned in a previous post. I'm now trying to decide type/brand of blade. I'll be buying the Dewalt 10" ... I've been waiting hoping it would go on sale but that probably won't happen till I...

Not really being its going to be livingroom or kitchen, I'm still debating on which to use. I was thinking kitchen so I can put a fan behind be to help blow dust out backdoor which is in kitchen. Maybe if I hung up some burlap sacks or something like that, other than that I don't have a clue.

The funny thing is there's no apartment manager, only the people that my case for housing has to do with. They've told me all I can do is just do what I want the best I know how and see what happens. It's kinda the "it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission" type of thing LoL. If I...
