Those areas look like maybe they got wet at some point which will give you darker areas that have a raised grain . Try resanding with 120 grit as a final before staining again . Not a big fan of minwax , sometimes depending on the wood it will show where you start and stop with the rag ...

Well I finally got a set of blades , had to buy another shear that was from a school and came with an extra set . Now I have a shear on Craigslist for sale . By the way after seeing the blades only one side is beveled or sharp and in doing some reading flipping the blades looks like it means...

I can call him if you want me to find out what he charges .

Yes you can flip the bottoms once and the tops 4 , at least on the pexto . You can take them to resharp in Halifax . He sends them out but I don't think you will pay any shipping . I'm waiting for my saw sharpener to get back to me , he says he has a set he will give me but I don't have them in...

I havnt figured out how to post pictures yet , it's actually still in the box truck because I havnt had time to unload it and found a spot to put it . Quotes for the knives so far are average $325 each with federal knife quoting $572 for the pair ( very nice people and responded right away )...

Nice machines , I'm finding they are a bit pricy to buy and used are rare . Only advantage is with new I'll probably never need to sharpen them . Cost about $200 to sharpen and probably $700 new . Other option is there is another machine the guy wants $300 for but it's an 18 ga machine . Not...

Thank you , I've been watching them looking for a good price . I can spend small amounts of money here and there so even though it's not a super deal it works for me . Yes I believe they still sell them but their not cheap . If I can find a good used set even better .

I just picked up a pexto 137 shear , nice shape , needs a cleaning , the bad is it needs blades ( doesn't have them ) . Anybody have experience in the best place to purchase new or used . Paid $200 for the shear so think it's worth buying new but a used set might be way to go . Thanks , richard

Just ordered at pep boys $11.15 after tax and promo code , ready for pickup tomorrow

I like this reply , I have a few harbor freights ($9.00 ) you can't beat them for the kids throwing them around . Those , 2 craftsman clicks and an old beam type all seem the same . For most things consistency is the goal . Engine internals on big hp motors you want to be right on .

Probably the 16ga is most versatile . I used it for everything trim wise inside the house . Sold it one day because I was using a 15ga and 18ga more often in the field . There are times I wish I had it back but I just continue with the two others and work fine . I had the porter cable and it...

I have a few planes but my most used is my Stanley low angle block , I have a Nelson low angle / angle blade block but I don't really like it , and 3 rabbet planes , Stanley bullnose , record stubby bullnose , and a Stanley 93 I believe . All those I really like . I have an old Stanley handyman...

Add a ground bar , sub panels separate ground and neutral as far as I know or were taught

Nice thing about having at least 1- 2.0ah battery is they charge in 15 min . Can keep you going when the bigger ones die out . I'm in the woodworking trade and makita and hitachi are most seen , cordless and corded . Dewalt was big with carpenters and Milwaukee with plumbers and electricians . I...

Makita here , been using them since the 9.6v came out , no issues ever except wearing them out and one battery that I kept charging and the chip shut down ( my fault ) . Was thinking of switching then I bought the right angle drill so I guess I'll keep them . Also have the 18v hitachi and like...

We put a hinged panel in front of our big dust collector with rolux on it . Cut the noise in half

Try their clearance section , mine is at the back wall near their back room entrance . My store was $69 but he gave me a distressed package discount when I showed this thread and brought it down to $55 out the door .

Are you using a starter strip and starting from the middle ?? ( piece with two tongues ) . Is this a common way or not . Seen this done on large open areas but wasn't sure if it was common practice

Most sound like air issues which can be bled out but we'll see , very heavy jack .

Just went there , was $69 when it rang up but I got him to give another 15% so brought it to $55 with tax . Still a good buy ( not sure what I'll do with it . Already have 2 ) . It wasn't with the other jacks it was in the clearance section
