Hello friends, I've been a finish carpenter since 2003. I've learned a ton and used a ton of heavy shop and portable tools. I'm now more inclined to do trim, hung doors and install hardware. In a regular jobsite, we usually set up a work area with chopsaw, tablesaw, a work table, etc...

For example, an edge of casing to a wall or baseboard to floor... I've seen people do it with grinders, jig saws, table saw without fence, rasps.... My way is block plane and 100grit sanding block, I precut that edge to 30 degrees and use a compass to get close, then erase the line and...

Lets see... I'm a finish carpenter and i work on my cars, all metric. My budget is $150. I'm picking up: - hand plane #33 (jack) - angle grinder - set of Allen sockets - set of torx sockets - big braker bar Anything else I should take a look at?

Looking into getting a new ratcheting metric set. Not snap on, too expensive. Mine are "performance" and they are ok but not when a lot of torque, they kinda open up a bit rounding bolt heads. I'm hoping not to spend a ton of money. I use from 8 to 17mm mostly, with the occasional 19 or...

Years ago, I was working for a friend and his labors kept borrowing my drill and impact driver. I told him he needed to get a set as a homeowner, we were at Home Depot and got this set for $99. I've used it, it's pretty good and plenty powerful for light work and they are light tools, good...

Hey! I wanted to find a place where to go get 2 identical small bearings to fit on a pencil or mechanical pencil to make myself a nice 1/4" scribing tool. I need like a 1/2 OD, and I know I can order from many places including lee valley. Jest asking for a retail store that could possibly...

Hey! I'm scribing like there is no tomorrow... casings, baseboards, etc... usually poplar, sometimes finger jointed which means opposite grain here and there when shaving. I'm using a combination of makita power hand planer, and a stanley block plane (boy, I spent hrs truing that cheap...

Hello, I wear a "north" medium size respirator with p100 cartridges 8hrs, every day. It's always been my choice but lately I've been wondering if there is a "lighter" option out there now days... Specially something that allows me to communicate, still has the same protection against...

Hello, I'm back to carpentry as full time job. A few years ago I sold all tools and truck to start a new career... Here I'm back to my craft, buying tools. I kept all my hand tools and Japanese saws etc, so I'm good there. The company provides table saw, chop saw and a few other things but...
