Getting tough to haul 3/4 plywood. I am a shade tree woodworker so going over bumps and grass are typical for my 60+ year old body. Any suggestions for a device (hopefully non-powered) to help me move and stage sheet goods? I can still pick it up but it's taxing to walk 30 feet and while being...

Short version- had a new main service panel (main breaker is outside so technically a distribution panel) installed over a year ago with an upgrade to 200 amp service. A microwave oven circuit I installed years prior on a dedicated 20 amp breaker now seems to share a breaker with another circuit...

Like to know about the possibility of a roughly 24x30 steel garage/shop a fabricator or contractor contacts doing business in central MA could install for me. I don't need the electrical included but insulation is important. Would need foundation/footings. Residential setting so outside...

I want to have some very low amperage party lights come on when it starts to get dark and off in the morning, a quasi security light. A simple device that plugs into an existing outlet but switched by ambient light is what I think I want. It's outdoors but very well protected from rain and on a...

I had my old pneumatic and cheapo electric t50 stapler die in one day so I need a new one. I have a have brad/pin nailer and a finish nailer so I don't "need" that function. Just need to drive T50 staples. I know battery powered is more expensive, pneumatic needs a hose which can be a pain for...

Framer messed up and made some closet rough openings too small. I removed jack studs (non load bearing wall) and reinforced with brackets but there isn't enough room inside the closet for the two-piece trim (the part that slides into the jam). My question is do I rip the casing to fit on table...

Second story in-law style addition attached to existing home. I can come out with a dryer vent about 5 feet, horizontally, from a bedroom window either close to floor level, near ceiling level or somewhere in the middle. Window is at right angle to wall and close to the corner so in view from...

Try to be brief and complete. Please no coulda/shoulda. Signed a contract with GC with milestone/progress payments spelled out. One milestone being completed framing (structural), rough electrical, rough plumbing and insulation complete which means passed inspection and he got paid. GC hired...

My inspector wants blocking above header between joists just inside eves as a smoke/fire block but I forgot to mention I was having spray insulation done (at least the current plan). Hate to buy 50 feet of 2x12 to cut into 14-1/2" long pieces unless it's really needed

Looking to get budgetary costs for a 25x40 maybe 10 feet walls, Gambrel roof, two big doors (sliding or roll-up), pad and decent looking enough for residential hood and insulated. Central New England snow loads and installed. I feel like a need a shower after visiting the steel building sites...

Stumpy Nubbs raved over their band saw so I looked at their table saws and I am suitably impressed with the photos and specs. Any direct experience here? The think the trunion weighs more than me https://www.harveywoodworking.com/products/new-ambassador-c300-30-c300-50-10-cabinet-table-saw

Seems Wahuda in now offering a 10" benchtop jointer at a reasonable price for that size with some early bird enticements. https://www.wahudatools.com/10in-ben...early-bird.htm Wondering if it's as well regarded a their 8" and 6" models. I tend not to be an early adopter but I may be ready soon...

is there noise cancelling bluetooth headphone that allow conversation between wearers? Ideally a headphone with BT so each person can listen to their own music (or whatever), cancel or reduce ambient machine noise but allow conversation for indoor close proximity use. May be too much to ask...

I am in need of a small dust collector for my CNC using a Dewalt trim router. Space and budget are concerns of course. No chips, just dust and not a lot of it

Copped a Delta 15" scroll saw in decent condition for $35. Any red flags on this model 40-150 I hope the photo shows, doesn't on preview

In my unpowered shed I would to add a solar battery maintainer to keep lawnmower battery fresh especially during the winter. I want to mount the panel to the roof and route cables conveniently. Stronlgy prefer NOT made in China if at all possible.
