I really like this DIY custom table saw stand I found while Google'ing through images, but unfortunately the blog's author didn't include any detailed info on the dimensions/measurements of the project. LINK TO BLOG POSTING --> http://imgur.com/a/9WLGR Anyone care to venture a guess as to...

Used to have a pickup truck ... don't no more (engine shot - RIP). :( So I'm wondering how those of you without the benefit of a truck get your large sheet plywood or MDF home from the lumber yard/store. - Do you try to find a friend with a truck? - Do you rent a pickup truck for a few...

At long last, I'm FINALLY ready to start learning/working with my router. The only thing I need now are router bits. As a BEGINNER WITH A BUDGET, I wanted to get some thoughts/feedback as to whether anyone here has any experience with Harbor Freight's carbide-tip router bits (see link below)...

I recently acquired a used Harbor Freight 5" Double Cut Saw - disassembled. The saw seems to work (motor wise, anyway) - but I'm having some trouble trying to figure out how to reattach the spring for the clear blade guard. The manual is no help (to me) whatsoever. Was wondering if anyone who...

Wondering if anyone knows of resources where one can obtain phenolic resin coated plywood. Even better if anyone knows any place in/near Southern California. THANKS !!! :beer:

Okay, I realize that I'll probably get a lot of sneers and jeers for this - along with just as many "why would you even think about it . . . " comments, but I'm still curious as to whether anyone here has any experience with Harbor Freight's 10" "Industrial" Table Saw...

Any thoughts, advice - or warnings - about this CRAFTSMAN 10" CONTRACTOR TABLE SAW ?? Been giving some thought to taking advantage of Sears' layaway program as a way to spread out the cost across a couple of months (which will be much easier on my wallet/budget). Anyway, just thought I'd...

I have a question about the difference in some table saw tops . . . . I see some table saws with sides that are (for lack of a better word) "vented" - such as the images below . . . . . . while many others are not - such as the image below . . . What is the purpose...

Anyone know of any plans - or have any ideas - about how to take this homemade disc sander idea, but have the disc sander as the flat surface ... kind of like a motorized lazy susan type deal? (hope I described that clearly enough) The reason (and goal) for my question is because I like...

Hoping to tap into the collective knowledge/experience base of the community here in asking ..... What kind of nailer (i.e. brad, framing, finishing) - and gague - would be best for getting through 3/4" MDF - into your standard 2x4 (or most any kind of wood and/or plywood)? THANK YOU MUCH...

Hey All .... Just a topic I thought might be interesting and, perhaps, educational - especially for newbs like me - to share and discuss. As someone who is a late-to-the-game newbie to the whole "DIY/Woodworking World," I am obviously very excited about jumping in head first and acquiring the...

Any ideas for where one might go to try to obtain some used wooden pallets - preferably for FREE ?? In other words, has anyone here been able to snag pallets from any particular stores/establishments ... and if so, how did you go about it? I live in Orange County, CA - though I would assume...

I remember seeing a discussion (in another DIY'er Community (I know, I know .. sacrilege) regarding taking advantage of Home Depot's "match any competitor" policy utilizing a Harbor Freight 20% Discount coupon .... but I cannot for the life of me find that discussion thread. :( Anyway, the...

This question/thought is, I think, geared more for the Home/DIY'er much moreso than a professional/contractor ... so please keep this in mind as you read on. ;) I wanted to (hopefully) spark an informative/insightful discussion here as to the idea of creating/building a DIY custom table saw...

I've seen a few plans here and there for a custom/diy table saw + router table combo cabinet - some with rolling casters, some stationary. Just curious as to whether anyone here has built their own table saw + router table cabinet/stand (or other similar combo) and, if so, might you be able to...

Please forgive this embarrassingly NEWBIE question . . . Why would someone want/wish to use a bandsaw over, say, jigsaw or a scroll saw? I am new to the world of DIY/Home Hobby Woodworking, and I'm honestly curious as to this question - at least on/for a home-hobbiest/DIY level. :bowdown:
