I'm in the market now for a 'new' 12" drill press and a 9" Band Saw to add to my woodworking tools. As far as I've been able to tell, they're all basically the same tools only different brand names and colors from HF Bauer, WEN, Craftsman, Ryobli etc. They all get about the same reviews between...

Need recommendation(s) for a good blacktop Sealant. The owner of the rental home across the street had their's done last year and I remember the black had a nice even matte finish look to it. Didn't get to talk to the guys that did it before they left and the owner doesn't live in that house so...

I may have to convert the room I use for my garage office/collectibles display back to a bedroom for my elderly MIL. This leaves me no options other than coming out from the shared kitchen/garage wall about 8' into the garage space, adding a new wall with a door and window (just so I can look...
