    STIHL MS362 My New Toy

    I've got a MS 310 with a 20" bar. I love it! I have a furnace, but I burn wood to keep the gas bill down. I usually burn almost 4 chords a year. It does all I want and then some. The only complaint I have is that it is REALLY PICKY about how old the fuel is! But it is a HAWG. To quote my old man...

    Craftsman table saw... Vintage???

    First off Red Leader, Those are some VERY NICE Pieces! The bench grinder is my fav! As for the Radial Arm Saw, I do not know which model it is, but he did tell me that it DOES have a cabinet base... If that helps. Unfortunately, things in my world move slow. I probably will not get the RAS until...

    Craftsman table saw... Vintage???

    Well, I spoke with the seller last night, and I have no way of knowing if I have "First Dibbs" on this saw. Unfortunately I cannot go look at it until Sunday due to babysitter logistical issues. I think I was first to inquire about it, it hit CL at 816 on Wed night, and I emailed him at 851 the...

    Thanks fellas, I will also take a good look at the Kreg Pocket joint tool. I just read up on it in a Built-Ins Magazine, and was already considering purchasing one. Thanks again. Munsk.

    infrared heat

    We recently switched from forced air to IR in our shop where I work. HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! We love them!!! It heats up the objects in the room (TRUCKS). I am thinking of putting in my shop at home also. Gotta have enough clearance though... Munsk.

    Best Biscuit Joiner for the $$$ ?

    Who makes the best Biscuit Joiner for the money? I am a mechanic, that does a (very) little carpentry once in a while. I want to build some "Built-Ins" in my house. I would guess Porter Cable or Milwaukee, but I have some Ridgid tools that I like... Keep in mind, I am OCD/****. Thanks, Munsk

    Sweeping the floor

    I sweep with soft bristled push-broom every week. To get under shelving and toolboxes, I suggest giving your 4 year old a pair of ear plugs and a shop vac. 36 X 40.

    Wide door vs. two small doors

    I like TWO!!! Not only does it look nicer (you may have to sell one day), but it defines each space. It does depend on overall size of garage, also. Like Steevo said, you need ample space on all sides. I have 2 doors, two side by side and I put in a header opposite one so I can add a third one...

    Favorite spray lubricant

    Spray Lube = Penetrating oil. Hands down.... Penetro 90. Yet another wonderful product from Schaeffer Oil. For all around use... WD40 (cheap and smells good), Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, then Penetro 90. Notice the ascending price points. My $.02

    One heavy a$$ed bench

    Wow, I thought mine was heavy! I had to use the winch on my 4 wheeler to get off its back and back upright. I don't know how many lbs it weighs, but it was almost too much for 5 guys to slide off a trailer. (before I added the steel top) Yours is great! What a nice bench!!!

    Questions for Professional Mechanics who earn their living turning wrenches.

    If you are working flat rate, speed = money! So almost always use power/air for tear-down. I NEVER (almost) reassemble with power tools. If you are working on your own project or hobby, I wouldn't use power or air much... No need to. Impact for big stuff or rusted only. I like the finesse of...

    Ideas for workbench top ?

    Here is my WB in progress. I used 1/8" steel. I like it so far, I don't even have it secured to the top yet. The bench was built by my Grandpa in the 60's. I just added 3/4" plywood and 1/2" cabinet grade plywood and then this piece of 1/8" steel. I will screw into both wood sections from the...
