    Stripped hex head bolt - removal?

    Sounds like he means a socket head. Not going to get very far using an "allen key" on a hex head.

    Grizzly jointer help!

    Are there any 8" jointers that are 110 though? I'd definitely go with the longer beds over the spiral cutterhead.

    Pencil Sharpener

    I like the German made brass bullet sharpeners. Buy a few because they are easily misplaced. https://www.dickblick.com/products/alvin-brass-bullet-pencil-sharpener/

    Is a decent $300 drill press (mostly for wood) possible?

    I paid $100 for a Delta DP 220 off of Craigslist. It had some surface rust, but otherwise was in amazing condition. It was built in 1950 and the original belts were in perfect condition. You can't go wrong with an old Delta or Powermatic. Check in your area and you'll spend a fraction for a...

    Edd China's Garage Revival Program

    I was an avid watcher of Graveyard Cars but had several episodes backed up on my DVR and instead of watching them I decided to just delete them and quit recording new ones. The old format with Josh and Darrin was frustrating because they screwed around too much and never got anything done. The...

    All quiet here for 2hrs! okay, why did Robertson screws gain so little gr in the USA?

    It was a few years ago. The website never changed much but you couldn't order off the website for a couple of months during the transition. I think I ordered from them once since. Before I used to often get $1 shipping coupons from them and would get whatever I ordered from them the next day...

    They are my favorite woodworking screw. Before McFeely's was bought out I used to buy them there.

    4" jointer questions

    Planers will make your faces parallel but they won't make them flat. That's what a jointer is for. You get a face jointed flat first, make an edge perpendicular and then thickness it at the planer. Then head over to the table saw and run your jointed edge along the fence and you have a...

    Finally bought a saw, a Unisaw

    What you get is this chart that tells you which chippers and how many clicks to turn the dial to your desired width. The outermost chipper is the one that has the dial and each click moves the spacer on the chipper .004". The adjustment then isn't between each of the blades, but just the last...

    Looking for a Good Shop Clock - Thoughts?

    I hadn't heard of Chicago Lighthouse before so I checked out their site. Pretty cool company, employing blind people to make the clocks. It looks like they come with a 3 year warranty, so you may want to just contact them.

    Finally bought a saw, a Unisaw

    I have the Freud dial-a-width dado set and love it. I don't remember what I paid for it when I bought it around 9 years ago, but it's so easy to use. http://www.freudtools.com/index.php/products/product/SD608

    How much should I ask for the old Delta Rockwell tools?

    That's a nice instant wood shop for $2000. Seems like a fair price for both parties.

    Drill hog drill bits and easy outs

    Which of the left hand bits did you buy? I was just looking at them at it's a little confusing. Like what's the difference in these 2 sets? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Drill-Hog-USA-13-Left-Hand-Drill-Bits-Drills-Screw-Extractor-Lifetime-Warranty-/172512149179...

    Router grooves in plywood?

    I do all of mine on my table saw. If you have an 1/8" kerf blade you can get it done a 2 passes and you'll have infinite adjustment to get the dado width just right for the ply. What are you using for drawer glides? I always use Blum and the drawer boxes have to be sized right to work with...
