Have always bought Bosch blades. Home Depot near me recently clearanced all of their Bosch blades and I found out they replaced them with Diablo blades. Learning about the ownership chain in the comments above, I guess they're the same thing. I bought a decade's worth of the clearance blades...

Used to wear gloves only when doing yard work or firewood. Always Wells-Lamont leather pigskin gloves. Barely got n out of them. For the past six years I've been part of the healthcare industry and gloves are a constant thing. Now I wear nitrile gloves when doing greasy stuff or painting at...

I know I'm very late to this party, and the OP has already started on a course of action. Given that this slab will not be ripped out and repoured with an "easier" mix design, I personally would have found an industrial resurfacing product (Watco 'Flowtop" is one that I have used) and simply...

Looking for opinions on what would you do re: A/C for garage. I am in New England, can get hot here, supposed to be 90°F+ this week, 60's at night. Too hot for me to work even in an enclosed and shaded space. Would like to get garage temp in the low 70's and DRY. Lower if possible, my house...

Mine sits on whatever convenient flat surface I can find in my shed.

Nice! Can you restore mine? :) I have an almost identical one, probably the same age, except my table is a bit different. The slots are in the shape of an 'X'. Also have the original cast iron belt guard and a table (or head?) raising mechanism.

There is a very large sliding scale of quality from the worst to the best in terms of kitchen cabinets. And, quite often the price does not accurately reflect the quality. Here's a personal example: in my workplace, we spent nearly $100,000 on what was ultimately three kitchens' worth of...

I have 3/4" T&G OSB as the second floor of my garage. Asking myself the same question, I will probably sand it and seal it with some kind of clear water-based poly. It will only be used for storage and maybe a model railroad setup, so I don't need to spend any money. The other option would be...

I used GRK R4 screws, #8 x 1-1/2", spaced every 12". Works fine and I just painted over the screw heads. I pre-drilled holes with an 1/8" bit so I was able to drive the screw heads pretty flush with a minimum of splintering or flaking.

Have it shipped to the store after this whole virus fiasco is over?

This is the one I used for the stairs in my garage. https://www.mycarpentry.com/stair-calculator.html

I'll send you some pictures over the weekend. Also will check on possible shipping costs.

Strange topic, I know, but I was in my unfinished shop last night, trying to get a small project done, and frustrated as hell because nothing is completed or organized. I spent more time finding things, rearranging machines and tools and setting up my workspace than I actually did on the...

I have a 10-hp American Rotary converter, bought to power a 5-hp Powermatic wood planer. I sold the planer, so the converter collects dust now. It's about 15 years old, but probably has less than 10 hours on it. Would you have any interest in buying a (very gently) used converter? I'd have...

I don't bother trying to get it all out of the shop. I use the dust collector where practical, shop vac the rest, and every so often will rearrange the remaining dust with my Ryobi 18V leaf blower. I will often just pick an area and have at it with the shop-vac and various nozzles, and if...

I use a Brother P-Touch with the extra strength adhesive. Works good for almost everything. My other go-to for labels is white Gorilla tape and an industrial Sharpie.

Poor explanation on my part. I took the metal track and placed it upside down on the edges of the form like a cap, one on the inside, one on the outside. Then it was easy to simply strike off and float the top of the wall against the hard metal surface. LOGIX makes a form that is meant for...

I did my whole basement ICF. 9'-4" walls. Built all my own bracing. Not hard to do, came out rail straight and no blowouts. Read manufacturer's literature, watch Youtube, etc. I did mine in 2004 before YouTube was really a thing though. I used Reward ICFs, I also looked at a brand called...

I've always used the Gore CleanStream filters in both my ShopVac and Ridgid models. They work great for both wet and dry and are easily cleaned.

I sloped the concrete on mine. You can either use a high-strength patch material to form a slope (Watco Floors makes one I use commercially) or grind it down at an angle inside the garage.
