    Homemade table saw table

    I bought a $100 table saw a few years ago that has plenty power but an almost worthless table top and fence.. So I built a table to attach the table saw to.

    The LawnLift 1000 - Lawn Mower turned forklift

    Well I finally have a decent project worthy of it's own thread, so here it is. I thought this might be a project that some on here might be interested in, and I figure I could use some of the good ideas I'm sure will follow. I've been following Don Campbells thread and was inspired by all the...

    steel prices - box store vs local

    I am about to start a small project where I will need some steel angle, and am curious how Lowes/Home Depot steel prices compare to local steel places. I just need a few sticks of 1" angle. Are the big box store prices comparable or are they inflated? It'd be much easier for me to stop by...

    Drill Press turned wood lathe

    I needed a big round piece of wood to build a lamp, but of course I don't have a wood lathe to turn one. I am going to be wrapping the piece of wood with little sheets of aluminum to give it an aviation type look, so the wood doesn't need to be perfect, just nice and round. So I start thinking...
